"2000GT " stands for "Grand tour " of 2,000cc engine.
The ultra-low coupé body was designed in-house, supported by an X-shaped backbone frame that came equipped with a 2,000 cc inline 6-cylinder DOHC engine, a 4-wheel independent suspension with a double wishbone and coil spring layout, 4-wheel disc brakes, and four magnesium alloy wheels. The Toyota 2000GT was the first Japanese-made production model that adopted these novel components. Its performance was world-class, including a maximum speed of 220 km/h, a 0-400 m acceleration of 15.9 seconds, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 8.6 seconds. Prior to its commercial release, the Toyota 2000GT established numerous speed records (including three world records and 13 new international records), and also competed in races held in Japan and the U.S. with favorable results. It is interesting to note that two of its prototypes were converted into open-tops and appeared in a James Bond film "You Only Live Twice."
A total of 337 units were made before production ended in 1970.
