You only have to look at the roll call of
famous Ferrari 250 GT Lusso owners
to appreciate the appeal of the sultry
1960s twelve-cylinder Gran Turismo.
It’s hard to believe
that the Toyota
2000GT, as stunning
as it is, failed to ignite
the market when it
was launched in 1967,
hence the low number
built. It was only
Toyota's second
attempt at a sports
car, after the more
popular Sports 800.
Originally at $1000, it
now commands prices
close to a million
dollars if you can find
one. This is quite
possibly the most
beautiful Japanese car
ever built.
