TOM’S Turns the Toyota Century Into a $200,000 Japanese Luxury Statement

Japan’s Final Boss Car

We keep talking about cars from China that we can’t have. How about a Japanese model instead? The Toyota Century is Japan’s ultimate expression of automotive opulence. It is a chauffeur-driven flagship that blends advanced engineering with generational craftsmanship. The design is restrained and formal, and its presence is quiet yet commanding. In Japan, it is the car of statesmen, industry leaders, and, yes, the final boss.

Then there is TOM’S. Corolla fans know the name. TOM’S built its reputation through motorsport and factory-backed tuning programs. It has modified Supras, Corollas, and even prior Century models. The company understands Toyota’s performance at a fundamental level. It has now applied that expertise to the brand’s most luxurious and dignified sedan.

The TOM’S Century: Bespoke Craft Meets Performance

TOM’S calls this the “Complete” version. It begins with a carefully selected used Century sedan. Vehicles with accident damage or frame repairs are excluded. Each unit is inspected and refreshed at the Toyota Gotemba factory. Worn components are replaced or restored before modification begins.

The exterior is fitted with hand-laid fiber-reinforced plastic components. These include a new front bumper, side diffusers, rear under diffuser, trunk spoiler, and TOM’S barrel exhaust with exposed tailpipes. The look remains elegant but gains visible tension. Optional BBS RZ-D ultra-super duralumin forged wheels add a sharper stance and reduced weight.

Inside, quilted nappa leather and Alcantara define the cabin. Buyers can specify leather color, stitching style, piping, and embroidery. Pricing starts at approximately $201,000. That figure includes the donor vehicle and TOM’S standard specification upgrades.

This Complete package includes warranty support. The car undergoes a Toyota dealer inspection equivalent to a 12-month mandatory check. It retains the manufacturer’s new car warranty. The general warranty covers most components for three years or 37,000 miles. The special warranty covers critical systems for five years or 62,000 miles. TOM’S bodywork carries a one-year or 12,000-mile warranty. Delivery across Japan, and ONLY Japan, takes approximately two to three weeks.

The Final Boss Does Not Come Cheap

At roughly $201,000 and up, the TOM’S Century does not pretend to be attainable. It sits far above ordinary luxury sedans. The pricing reflects the donor car, the hand-built components, and the bespoke interior work. This is not a catalog body kit. It is a curated transformation backed by factory-level inspection and warranty support.

That cost is intentional. A final boss car should demand commitment. It should feel rare, and it is, but at the same time, it feels earned. The TOM’S Century embodies that philosophy. It blends dignity with discreet aggression and craftsmanship with performance intent. In the hierarchy of Japanese luxury sedans, this is the top-tier encounter.
