Toyota100: The Toyota Century Forum

And if so, how much do you think it actually has, if you had to estimate from actually driving it? I don’t really care that much about horsepower in the long run, I was just wondering because I know the gentlemens agreement was often secretly surpassed.

There are rumours all over the internet about how much power Centuries really make, but at least with my own car I don't think it's making any more than the factory numbers. It doesn't rev very high so horsepower is going to be lower than torque, relatively speaking (it's 340 lb/ft torque).

I have an Audi Q7 that weighs about the same as the Century - it has 360 lb/ft and the Q7 would definitely obliterate the Century in a drag race.

At some point I'll take it to a dyno day...

Yes, mine dyno’d at 303 wheel. It is entirely stock, 160,000 km. They are underrated, I think they make like 340 horsepower at the crank. Check out the official dyno curve… don’t you think the engineers are sandbagging? See the unnatural power curve compared to a nice torque curve? Doesn’t add up.
