Developed and built jointly by Yamaha Motor and Toyota
Motor Corporation, the TOYOTA 2000GT made its debut
in the 1965 Tokyo Motor Show as a showcase of Japan's
first high-performance sportscar.
Built on a sturdy X-backbone frame, the 2000GT's 4-wheel
independent suspension had double-wishbones front and
back.
The engine, a 1988cc DOHC 6-cylinder with 3 Solex carburetors,
produced 150 horsepower. This could propel the car to
a top speed of over 220km/h.
Other features included
a close-ratio 5-speed transmission, limited slip differential,
and Japan's first 4-wheel disc brakes with vacuum booster.
Today these cars are extremely rare (note build nuber
above) and would make a great investment if you could
find one (and afford one). |
