Mit dem Century Coupe 2026 stellt Toyota seine neue Luxuslinie offiziell vor. Das viersitzige Coupé kombiniert klassisch japanische Eleganz mit modernster Technologie. Unter der Haube könnte wahlweise ein V6-Plug-in-Hybrid oder ein leistungsstarker V8 arbeiten – inspiriert von den bisherigen Century-Modellen.

Auffällig ist das avantgardistische Design mit langer Motorhaube, geschwungenem Fastback-Heck und der markentypischen Doppelscheinwerfer-Front. Im Innenraum herrscht kompromissloser Luxus: eine durchgehende Mittelkonsole teilt die vier Einzelsitze, hochwertige Materialien treffen auf innovative Details wie ein Yoke-Lenkrad und ein minimalistisches Infotainment-Display.

Besonders ungewöhnlich: die asymmetrische Türkonfiguration – zwei Türen auf der Beifahrerseite, eine auf der Fahrerseite – sorgt für einen futuristischen Auftritt und unterstreicht den exklusiven Charakter dieses Modells. Mit dem Century Coupe positioniert sich Toyota klar gegen Luxusikonen wie Rolls-Royce Spectre oder Bentley Continental GT und zeigt, dass japanische Handwerkskunst auch im ultraluxuriösen Segment neue Maßstäbe setzen kann.

Transkript
00:00In 1938, Kenia Nakamura passes through the ticket gate of the Tokaido Line's Kariya Station.
00:16In his hand was a letter from Kiichiro Toyoda.
00:22Nakamura had written to Kiichiro after reading his words in a company brochure.
00:30Three days later, a reply arrived.
00:34I want to meet you.
00:39Kenia Nakamura would go on to join Toyoda.
00:43However, as war raged, the dream of making passenger cars drifted further away.
00:52August 1945, end of the war.
00:55In November that year, just three months after the war's end, Kiichiro took action.
01:06I want to build a democratic automotive industrial nation contributing to Japan's peaceful rebuilding and to world culture.
01:18With this statement, he established the Automobile Association.
01:22Kiichiro believed that a thriving automobile industry and the mobility it provided were essential for Japan's post-war recovery and to bring stability to people's lives.
01:37He worked to unite all those involved in automobiles.
01:40Even as his health deteriorated, Kiichiro devoted himself to establishing the industry.
01:47Yet, the strain only deepened as the Dodge Line recession plunged his business into a crisis.
01:54March 1952, Kiichiro Toyoda passes away before fulfilling his ambition.
01:59Carrying on Kiichiro's vision, Shouichiro Toyoda joined Toyoda, following his studies in automotive engineering.
02:12The following year, Kenia Nakamura became Toyoda's first chief engineer.
02:18Eiji Toyoda, who appointed Nakamura, explained his choice as follows.
02:22Kenia firmly stood his ground against the engineering team, telling them,
02:28If you say it can't be done, I'll build it myself.
02:33That's why I appointed him as chief engineer.
02:38The crown, the corona, Nakamura continued to bring new vehicles into the world.
02:45A year before the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Nakamura and Shouichiro began developing the century together.
03:00What we need now is a car we can proudly show on the world stage.
03:08To be like no other.
03:10Not to follow trends.
03:14Let's make a car that contributes to inspire all those who see it.
03:20The century's development continued, cutting-edge technology with traditional Japanese skills,
03:26imbued with human spirit and essence.
03:30However, getting off the ground proved incredibly difficult.
03:35A century team was hastily formed at the Higashi Fuji plant.
03:41And for over a year, Nakamura and Shouichiro stayed in the bachelor's dormitory,
03:47working through sleepless nights.
03:52Nakamura continued to mentor Shouichiro as an engineer.
03:57For his part, Shouichiro looked back fondly on his time with Nakamura.
04:06Chief engineer Kenya Nakamura will forever remain in my heart.
04:11I came to believe that if young engineers like myself were trained to embrace Nakamura's spirit,
04:17we could make a major contribution.
04:19With help from their team, the pair built the car from the ground up.
04:29The model's catalog opened with the following words.
04:33A new prestige vehicle showcasing Japanese capabilities to the world.
04:421967, the first generation century is born.
04:49The century's development was overseen by Kenya Nakamura,
04:59Toyota's first chief engineer.
05:02To be like no other,
05:06this spirit guided Nakamura in every aspect of the century,
05:11from its development to production and sales.
05:15That development began in 1963.
05:23It was 30 years after Toyota started making cars.
05:28And only 18 years after the war.
05:32How could Toyota, with no tradition or prestige,
05:42hope to create a world-class vehicle,
05:45the pinnacle of luxury cars?
05:49Such reactions were hardly a surprise.
05:53Despite that,
05:55Nakamura was not deterred.
05:57Tradition will naturally follow.
06:01Let's create a new kind of luxury car,
06:05unlike anything before.
06:09The actless heel of today's luxury cars is that
06:11nothing innovative can be done.
06:14Saying that,
06:16Nakamura boldly pursued fresh ideas
06:19and breakthrough technologies.
06:24At the same time,
06:26he adopted elements of Japanese culture and tradition,
06:30including Edo metal engraving on the Phoenix emblem
06:34and Mishijin-ori brocade for the seat fabric.
06:38To create something that was
06:42to be like no other,
06:45Nakamura focused on fusing
06:47cutting-edge technology
06:48with Japanese culture and tradition.
06:52From that original model,
06:56the century became
06:57Shoichiro's beloved car for life,
07:00one he continued to ride in
07:01through the second and third generations.
07:04And to each new generation of engineers,
07:11he continued to offer suggestions for improvement,
07:14whether it was better straight-line stability on the highway
07:17or making sure the car could handle a stiff crosswind.
07:23Day after day,
07:24he continued giving instructions for improvements
07:27from the back seat.
07:30Shoichiro only went to such lengths for the century,
07:34Why was that?
07:39Why did Nakamura take on the challenge
07:43of developing the century,
07:45a project many at the time called reckless?
07:51Please allow me to share
07:53my own interpretation from here.
07:55In their hearts,
08:00I believe,
08:02lay the same passion
08:03that Kiichiro poured
08:06into establishing
08:07the Automobile Association
08:10just three months after the war's end.
08:15This Automobile Association
08:18was the forerunner
08:20of the Automobile Business
08:23and Culture Association of Japan,
08:26which I currently serve as chairman.
08:30On forming this association,
08:31Kiichiro said,
08:32I want to build a democratic automotive industrial nation
08:40contributing to Japan's peaceful rebuilding
08:44and to world culture.
08:48These words have never left me.
08:51The mention of Japan's peaceful rebuilding
08:57reflects a spirit
08:59of contributing to society
09:01through industry,
09:02a desire to bring back the smiles
09:05and peaceful daily lives
09:06of the Japanese people
09:07with the automobile industry
09:09as a driving force.
09:11Meanwhile,
09:16contributing a world culture
09:18means building a better society
09:21through mutual understanding
09:22and the exchange of cultures
09:24between different countries and peoples.
09:30What the people of Japan needed
09:33at that time,
09:35I believe,
09:36was a sense of pride
09:38in being Japanese.
09:41That is why
09:43Nakamura worked together
09:46with Shichiro,
09:47Shoichiro,
09:49the son of Kiichiro,
09:52and set out to make a car
09:54underpinned by Japanese tradition
09:57and skills,
09:58which they could proudly show
10:00on the world stage,
10:03a car that could contribute
10:04to world peace
10:06and cultural exchange.
10:11The pride of Japan.
10:13The pride of Japan.
10:14I believe the century
10:17was created
10:17to fulfill that role.
10:24Today,
10:27more than five decades
10:28after the birth
10:29of that first century,
10:31where does Japan find itself?
10:33Japan as number one era
10:37is behind us
10:38and we are now
10:40in what has come to be known
10:42as the lost 30 years.
10:44Japan as a nation
10:46seems to have lost
10:47some of its energy
10:49and dynamism
10:50along with their presence
10:59in the world.
11:04If Kiichiro and Nakamura
11:07could see Japan today,
11:09what would they say?
11:11I suspect
11:14they wouldn't say anything
11:16and instead
11:18leap straight into action.
11:21When Nakamura saw
11:22the post-war media headline
11:24starting from zero,
11:27he said,
11:28it's not zero.
11:30It's true
11:31that our facilities
11:32were destroyed
11:33and we had no materials
11:35or money,
11:36but we had the strengths
11:37and skills
11:38that Japan has built up.
11:40That's why we were able
11:41to be rebuilt.
11:43He said that in anger.
11:46Today,
11:46Japan has an automotive industry
11:50that operates
11:51on a global scale.
11:53We possess
11:53the monozukki skills
11:55that have sustained
11:56the nation.
11:58Stunning nature
11:59that enchants people
12:01around the world,
12:03a rich food culture
12:04and a spirit of hospitality.
12:08Today,
12:09we also have
12:10manga
12:11and animation
12:12which have become
12:13synonymous with Japan.
12:16Likewise,
12:17in the areas
12:17of music and sports,
12:19young people
12:20continue to share
12:21Japan's charms
12:21with the world.
12:25I believe
12:27now more than ever
12:29we need
12:32the century.
12:33please watch this.
12:34Please watch this.
12:39In the past,
12:42there was a person
12:44who infused
12:45the spirit
12:46in one sheet of cloth
12:47in a textile
12:49and a century later,
12:52there was a person
12:53who infused
12:56that spirit
12:57into a car
12:57and there was
12:59a person
13:00who honed
13:01and brushed up
13:02and sophisticated
13:03the car
13:04with technology
13:05having history.
13:09But
13:09times
13:11things
13:13change
13:14and there
13:15but there are things
13:16that do not change.
13:19Being reborn
13:19through the ages
13:21there is no end
13:24to monozukuri,
13:25no end
13:26to manufacturing.
13:27There probably
13:27is something
13:28that only Japan
13:29can create.
13:30going along
13:34that one path
13:35with the only
13:36you,
13:36one of one.
13:46Century.
13:48The name
13:49is set to represent
13:50the 100th anniversary
13:52of the Meiji era
13:53and the birth
13:54of Sakichi Toyota,
13:56the Toyota Group's
13:57founder.
13:59For me,
14:00it is about
14:01creating
14:01the next
14:02100 years.
14:07And then
14:08there is
14:09the century's
14:10phoenix emblem.
14:13In Japanese
14:14mythology,
14:15the phoenix
14:16only appears
14:16when the world
14:17is at peace.
14:22Century
14:22is more
14:24than
14:25just the name
14:26of a car.
14:28It is
14:28a heartfelt
14:29desire
14:29for world
14:31peace
14:31and
14:34an endeavor
14:35to shape
14:36the next
14:37100 years
14:38from Japan.
14:39That is
14:40what the century
14:40means to me.
14:44With
14:46Shoichiro's
14:47passing,
14:47I came to see
14:49this
14:49as my
14:51personal mission.
14:52of course,
14:58I cannot do it
15:00on my own.
15:05Thankfully,
15:06at Toyota,
15:07we have
15:08many colleagues
15:08who carry on
15:09the spirit
15:10of Kenya
15:11Nakamura.
15:11together,
15:16we have
15:17decided
15:18to launch
15:20the century
15:21brand.
15:25One of one.
15:30Or as
15:31Nakamura put it,
15:31to be like
15:34no other.
15:36Sentry is
15:37not just
15:38another brand
15:40within
15:40Toyota Motor Corporation.
15:43We want
15:44to cultivate
15:45it as
15:46a brand
15:46that brings
15:49the spirit
15:49of Japan,
15:50the pride
15:51of Japan
15:51out into
15:53the world.
15:56The next
15:58century
15:58begins
16:00with us.
16:00Thank you.
16:00Thank you.
16:00Thank you.
16:07Thank you.
16:37creating
16:39the next
16:40century,
16:41next 100
16:42years.
16:44Century
16:44brand
16:45of Japan.
16:47So literally
16:47century.
16:49And the
16:49scarlet
16:50color,
16:50it's really
16:51bright when
16:51you get
16:52close.
16:53So we're
16:54talking about
16:54century later.
16:55So you'll
16:55be 139
16:57years.
16:57So you
16:58remember
16:58my age.
16:59Thank you.
17:01149,
17:02your age
17:03will turn
17:03149.
17:04So we'll
17:04have to be
17:05watching that.
17:06So this
17:06will be
17:06the end
17:07of the
17:07Toyota
17:08booths,
17:09Toyota
17:09brand
17:10booths,
17:10press
17:12conference
17:12presentations.
17:13But,
17:14we're hearing
17:16some music
17:16and as
17:17we talk
17:17here,
17:19you can
17:19see people's
17:21heads moving
17:21around there.
17:22Is someone
17:22coming out
17:23here?
17:27I do
17:28believe,
17:28I heard
17:29that some
17:30people are
17:30coming out.
17:31Maybe
17:31there are
17:32people who
17:32don't know
17:33that they're
17:33coming back.
17:35Let's call
17:35them.
17:36Please come
17:37back to
17:37stage.
17:38So you
17:39might have
17:39thought that
17:40we've
17:40completed
17:41our
17:42presentations.
17:45It's a little
17:45different to
17:46what I've
17:46heard.
17:47Not the
17:48people that
17:49I expected.
17:53So we
17:54have
17:54President
17:56Sato,
17:57also
17:57Chief
17:58Randing
17:58Officer
17:58Simon
17:59Humphries,
18:00and
18:00President
18:00Inoue

18:01Daihatsu.
18:02Thank you
18:02for coming.
18:03And also
18:04Vice
18:04President
18:04Nakajima
18:05from
18:06TMC.
18:07So we
18:07have ended
18:08our press
18:09conference,
18:09but,
18:10Koji-san,
18:11do we have
18:12something yet?
18:16Well,
18:16actually,
18:17I wanted
18:17to thank
18:18everyone
18:18for gathering
18:19here from
18:19very early
18:20in the morning.
18:22And I
18:22think there
18:23are people
18:23who have
18:24been on
18:24business trips
18:25for a long
18:25time
18:26to come
18:27here.
18:27It's
18:28been two
18:29years since
18:29the last
18:30mobility
18:31show.
18:32And for
18:33us,
18:34Toyota Group,
18:34Daihatsu,
18:35Daihatsu,
18:36Lexus,
18:36and Century,
18:37these four
18:38brands are
18:39what we
18:40want to
18:40introduce
18:41through the
18:42mobility
18:42show.
18:43And we
18:43started
18:44that with
18:44our
18:45presentation.
18:46And we
18:46wanted to
18:47come up
18:47here to
18:48express
18:48our
18:48appreciation.
18:50I see.

18:51why all the
18:51related people,
18:52including the
18:52President,
18:53is coming
18:53up on

18:55There's
18:55more and
18:57more people
18:57coming to
18:57the stage

18:59And this
18:59stage
19:00has a
19:03limit to
19:04what it
19:04can carry.
19:05So we
19:05have only

19:09Maybe
19:09Nakajima-san

20:08the South
20:08Hall because
20:09the former
20:09hall that we
20:11usually use
20:11is under
20:12construction.
20:13And like
20:13President
20:13said,
20:14it was an
20:15opportunity
20:15for us
20:15actually to
20:16use it
20:16as a
20:17Toyota Group
20:17pavilion.
20:19So it was
20:19a big
20:19opportunity
20:20for us.
20:20And now
20:21this year,
20:22we've been
20:23thinking about
20:24very deeply
20:25about what
20:25we should
20:26be conveying,
20:27what kind
20:27of message
20:27that we should
20:28send out
20:28from this
20:29Toyota Group
20:29pavilion.
20:30And we've
20:30all worked
20:31together,
20:31the Toyota
20:32Group-related
20:32parties.
20:33And now
20:34you see it
20:34in front
20:35of your eyes.
20:35So you
20:36might think
20:36that we're
20:37using too
20:37much time
20:38for the
20:38press
20:38briefing.
20:39And media
20:39people
20:40have to
20:42go around
20:42and rush
20:43around
20:43and run
20:44around
20:44the halls.
20:44It may be
20:45a little
20:46inconvenient
20:46to you.
20:47But I
20:49think we
20:49were ahead
20:50of any
20:51TV broadcasting
20:51companies
20:52to give
20:52you the
20:53opportunity
20:53to introduce
20:54our
20:55products.
20:56and we
20:57appreciate
20:58this
20:58opportunity.
21:01For us,
21:02we wanted
21:03to show
21:03how serious
21:04we are
21:04in every
21:05single product
21:06that we
21:07are working
21:07on.
21:08And with all
21:08of these
21:08products,
21:09to individual
21:11consumers
21:11all around
21:12the world,
21:13we have
21:13this building
21:14of 2U
21:15from Toyota
21:16brand and
21:17Daihatsu.
21:17That's the
21:18funny things
21:18from Osaka.
21:19And then
21:20the elderly
21:21brother
21:21position
21:22will be
21:22Lexus.
21:24And we
21:24have
21:25the one
21:25of one
21:26Pride of
21:26Japan
21:27like no
21:28other
21:29century.
21:30So those
21:31are the
21:31four brands
21:32we've
21:32introduced.
21:34I don't
21:34know how
21:35the aftertaste
21:35will be
21:36on your
21:37end.
21:38But it's
21:39the start
21:40of this

21:41show.
21:42And there's
21:43going to be
