This car was introduced in 1967 and turned the eyes of the car world to a small company from war-torn Japan. Unfortunately, due to high prices and poor brand recognition, the 2000 GTs sold were very low – exactly 351 cars until 1970. It didn’t even help that it was featured in a James Bond film. But we couldn’t call it a failure. The 2000 GT did precisely what it was supposed to do; it showed the world that the Japanese car industry was the next big thing in the car world and that they could produce fantastic sports cars.
