Designed by Albrecht, who offered it to Nissan first, Toyota acquired the rights to the car, which was built by Yamaha to compete with the Porsche 911 and the Jaguar XKE, but it cost more than either. Up to 200 HP and 130 mph in race trim at 6,600 rpm. Carroll Shelby enjoyed success in SCCA events with the cars.

Only 351 were built, including two roadsters for James Bond in You Only Live Twice.

This car won the 2022 London Concours for “Best in Show” and “Japanese Jewels.”
