Rocky Auto's Latest Gem Is A Toyota 2000GT Replica
by AutoExpert | 9 January, 2024
Rocky Auto is stirring up excitement with its latest take on the beloved Toyota 2000GT, a true gem among Japanese classics.
What makes this version stand out is the fitment of a 2.0-liter straight-six engine, a nod to the original's heritage, departing from the larger 3.0-liter 2JZ found in the Rocky Auto 3000GT.
To add a dash of individuality, Rocky Auto is offering an open-top version, a feature never officially presented by Toyota for the 2000 GT. This replica captures the essence of customization seen in the 1967 James Bond film "You Only Live Twice," where a specially crafted convertible 2000GT made waves.
Beyond the engine, Rocky Auto ensures authenticity with a custom-made chassis and meticulously handcrafted bodywork, mirroring the iconic design of the original. The Rocky Auto 2000GT made its debut at the Nagoya Mobility Car Show, and the grand reveal is set for the Tokyo Auto Salon, featuring both the classic coupe and the all-new open-top versions.
The 2.0-liter engine specs will be unveiled, and orders will be welcomed. While the price tag is still under wraps, the previous replica started around $200k, offering a more accessible option for those dreaming of owning a piece of the Toyota 2000GT legacy.
