TaTa ◊ 2005-03-03 16:39	Pour être plus précis, c'est une Toyota GT2000, un voiture qui fut commercialisé par Yamaha sous forme d'un coupé. La Toyota GT2000 n'était qu'un prototype.
antp ◊ 2005-03-03 20:09	Et il me semble que le cabrio a été fait spécialement pour le film (et n'a jamais été commercialisé)
TaTa ◊ 2005-03-04 16:24	C'Est exact
Exiv96 ◊ 2005-11-12 17:06	2000 GT, pas GT 2000.
Jaqob P. ◊ 2006-01-01 15:33	un belle 2000 gt
Jaqob P. ◊ 2006-01-01 15:33	the only convertible ever made
ben68 ◊ 2006-01-24 20:49	Nope. 2 cars were built
Jaqob P. ◊ 2006-04-07 19:26	Oops
gliffhanger ◊ 2007-02-09 23:27	Its a Cool Car.....
Richard Davies ◊ 2007-09-07 21:41	It was just a coupe, but it's been said that Sean Connery found it too hard to get in quickly, so Toyota cut the roof off & made it into a convertable.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-03 22:38	In this film Bond doesn't drive a car (the only Bond film where this happens) but he gets to ride in Japanese secret service agent Aki's Toyota 2000 GT. This car has some special features of it's own, a communication system with a TV screen behind the seats. She uses this to call for help when being chased by some thugs in a Toyopet Crown and the matter is swiftly dealt with.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-03 22:42	If you look at the 4th thumbnail the car has a different dashboard to the one in the 5th thumbnail (with wood panelling and a wooden steering wheel). Richard Davies wrote It was just a coupe, but it's been said that Sean Connery found it too hard to get in quickly, so Toyota cut the roof off & made it into a convertable. Yes, that was probably because of his height (6'2") when he rides in it his head sticks out over the top of the windscreen. -- Last edit: 2008-09-04 01:46:25
G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-03 23:09	Special car this, only 337 were made (and only 2 existed in open-top form, they were specially made for the film).
toy2000gt ◊ 2009-06-12 17:04	G-Mann, you're right, the scenes showing Connery and Aki in the car from the back were made in England (instead of Japan) in a different car. I always wonder what car was used as I can't recognise this dashboard. Another interesting fact is that Aki didn't know how to drive and it's racing Toyota pilotes (Hiroshi Fushida and Tomohiko Tsutsumi) who take her place for the scenes the car was moving. Two cars were specially made for the movie. One has been destroyed 3 years after the movie was made and the other one is in Toyota Museum. This one has been stored in South Africa for some times (why ?) and eventually found in Hawaii and bought by Toyota Japan. Some replicas were build by fanatics, 2 are in USA, 1 in Japan and 1 in England in the "Cars of the Stars Museum". This last one got the original panel with the TV communication system. That's it.

I always wonder what car was used as I can't recognise this dashboard. 4th thumb looks a bit TR4-ish (eg windscreen shape, steering wheel), but not completely convincing details on central dash. But is it actually a car or a mock up? Speedo or rev counter pointing to zero, screen rail has no sun visors or hood catches, and if it's the same as the 3rd and 6th thumbs no windscreen glass. -- Last edit: 2010-11-27 02:31:08
