Kyosho Toyota Century 1:43 Diecast Model KS03926RS

Toyota Century in Guren Red and Silver This Kyosho diecast model is a faithful 1:43-scale replica of the Toyota Century in Guren Red and Silver. The new Toyota Century is a Japanese chauffeur-driven luxury vehicle presented in September 2023. It extends a nameplate that began with the original Century saloon in 1967. Toyota developed the new body style alongside the continuing Century saloon. Its design began with the comfort and dignity of the rear-seat passengers. Chief engineer Yoshikazu Tanaka led the vehicle's development. Toyota design executive Tatsuya Sonoda oversaw the design process. Its imposing proportions reinterpret the quiet formality of earlier Century models. The upright front and broad grille create a recognisable presence. A phoenix emblem links the new car to Century tradition. The long wheelbase allows generous space in the rear cabin. The horizontal body lines reinforce a composed, architectural appearance. Guren Red and Silver create a distinctive two-tone exterior treatment. The contrasting colours emphasise the body shoulders and roofline. Toyota offers highly individualised exterior and interior specifications. This colour combination does not represent a separately numbered series. Toyota has not published a production total for Guren Red and Silver cars. Its initial Japanese base sales plan was 30 Century vehicles per month. That figure is a monthly target, not a total number built. Production takes place at Toyota's Tahara plant in Japan. The new Century uses a 3.5-litre V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain. Its E-Four Advanced system provides electric four-wheel drive. An electric continuously variable transmission manages the hybrid system. The vehicle was engineered for smooth progress rather than sporting acceleration. Its high-rigidity body helps isolate passengers from unwanted movement. Rear doors and the cabin layout ease entry and exit. Two individually appointed rear seats define its four-person configuration. Controls in the rear allow occupants to adjust their surroundings. The generous glass area contributes to an open feeling inside. Japanese craftsmanship informs the surfaces, trim and assembly details. The Century name traditionally represents Toyota's highest level of hospitality. The new model adapts that heritage to changing chauffeur-driven travel. Its two-tone finish adds a more expressive character to the restrained shape. Each customer's specification can make an individual vehicle distinctive. The Century is a luxury road car, not a motorsport project. This generation has no official racing victories or championship record. Its achievement is the refinement of a Japanese flagship concept. The Guren Red and Silver treatment displays its carefully shaped bodywork. The 2023 Century combines heritage, passenger comfort and contemporary hybrid technology. It remains one of Toyota's most exclusive regular-production automobiles.
