In this Larry Chen video, we witness the meeting of automotive minds as Mr. Vasset unveils his latest creation: a Celica sporting a Toyota Century V12 engine. A bold move, considering the initial plan for an LFA V10 fell through due to unavailability. The customer, a true car enthusiast, sought a unique build for competition, leading to the unconventional engine choice. Sourcing the V12 locally in Orlando, Vasset faced challenges in finding the right parts for this distinctive swap. Despite the hurdles, the engine fits snugly in the Celica, offering a balance that enhances the car's performance.

The build doesn't stop at the engine; Vasset's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of the Celica. From custom velocity stacks to handcrafted headers, each element is meticulously designed to elevate the car's power and aesthetics. Anticipated to produce 650-700 horsepower, this Celica promises a thrilling driving experience. The decision to opt for the V12 wasn't solely about power; it reflects Toyota's upscale aspirations with the Century model, aiming for a smooth and refined performance rather than sheer brute force.

The chassis discovery on barn finds added a unique twist to the project, requiring extensive refurbishment due to years of neglect. Vasset's carbon fiber kit, inspired by 70s IMSA cars, injects a touch of racing heritage into the Celica's design. The wide BBS E55 wheels and aggressive body modifications further enhance the car's commanding presence on the road. Inside, a blend of race car elements and comfort features like Tillett seats and custom upholstery create a unique driving environment. With a Supra automatic transmission offering manual capabilities, this Celica is a fusion of power, style, and innovation, showcasing Vasset's dedication to creating a showpiece that may soon hit the track for some adrenaline-pumping fun.
