I cant belive most people havent heard of this car... for people who dont know, the car originaly started life out as a NISSAN project with yamaha... Nissan ditched the idea early on, so yamaha turned to toyota with the idea, and they liked it, and picked up where nissan left off. The engine was co-developed with yamaha, and the styling has been only rumored to have been designed by Albrecht Goertz (designer of, most famosly, the BMW 507). He himself has denied involvement, and Toyota refuses to tell who did... The car is considered by many classic auto historians to be the only true classic japanese sportscar ever produced, with a production total of only 337 units in its entire life span. Also, the car used in "you only live twice" was a one off convertible (they made 2 for the movie)...
