From the pictures & videos we saw, it seems it is not yet armored...

Oooh, V12 5 liter. Like two 1jz engines slapped together? A potential 1200-1500 hp with twin turbos...

Wow, what a car. I wonder if they went with Toyota b/c Nissan is now owned by Renault and no longer a Japanese company.

They don't need that much hp in Japan, & this model is not really meant for overseas . . .

And why does the Royal family need more? especially in Japan where most commuter cars are within an earshot of 100hp.
