Toyota 2000GT

I'm just curious. Is there a sample of this beautiful and rare car in our country?

Rumor has it, there is one such car in the Philippines.

I think it was even in a car show once in the early 80's when it was still called TRANSHOW at the Philcite

I read in C! Mag that the designer of the 2000 GT eventually made his way to Nissan, giving birth to the Z car.

I don't remember the exact details of this car's story, but from what I remember, that this car was supposed to be a Nissan instead of a Toyota.

The 2000GT concept actually began in 1963. Datsun (now Nissan) had commissioned Yamaha to produce a sports car powered by a 2.0 liter, 150 horsepower engine. Internal issues at Datsun soon put the project on the shelf, so Yamaha sold the idea to Toyota.

It was only when Toyota showcased the car at the Toyko Motor Show that Datsun decided it would be worthwhile to pursue the sports car segment. In 1969, it brought the strikingly similar 240Z to market.
