Calling all Japanese sports car enthusiasts! Rocky Auto has unveiled a brand new iteration of their beloved 1967 Toyota 2000GT replica, set to steal the show at the Tokyo Auto Salon this weekend. This time, they're bringing it back to its roots with a 2.0-liter straight-6 engine, offering a more faithful tribute to the iconic classic.
Previously, Rocky Auto catered to power-hungry drivers with a 3.0-liter 2JZ engine option. But now, they're shifting gears, offering a purer 2000GT experience with the smaller displacement and 24-valve layout. This move brings the replica closer in spirit to the original while still promising exhilarating performance details yet to be unveiled.
And here's the cherry on top: Rocky Auto isn't just sticking to the classic coupe. For the first time, they're offering the 2000GT as a convertible, fulfilling a dream that Toyota never realized back in the day. Imagine cruising down the coast with the wind in your hair, the 2.0-liter purring under the hood – a truly unique and open-air experience for fans of this legendary car.
