Why We Picked It:
The 1967 Toyota 2000GT is a two-seater coupé with a 2.0-liter DOHC (1988 cm3) six-cylinder engine with a cast iron block. Its impressive powertrain delivered 150 horsepower at 6,600 rpm. Although it doesn't seem much by today's standards, you must remember that we are talking about a 1960s model designed in Japan.
Despite its contained power, the 2000GT could reach a top speed of 135 mph thanks to a contained weight of only 2,459 pounds, and other features allowed this car to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 8.6 seconds.
Although the exterior is art, we can only say that the interior doesn't disappoint. The Japanese automaker provided the 2000GT with luxurious accessories, including a dashboard covered in rosewood veneer, a radio, and many other exclusive details.
An X-shaped spine, a 4-wheel independent suspension with a double-spring design, coil springs, and a 49/51 weight split all supported the ultra-low coupe body. In addition, the 2000GT has 4-disc brakes and magnesium wheels. Only 351 2000 GTs were made, mainly for Japan.
