The Toyota Origin (Japanese: トヨタ・オリジン, Toyota Orijin) is a limited edition
Toyota Store
, Toyopet Store and Corolla Store Japanese dealerships.
The Origin features a distinct retro style body modeled from the RS series Toyopet Crown and built using the same platform and inline-six engine as the Progrès. The price was ¥7,000,000. The car was built by Kanto Auto Works in Higashi Fuji plant.[2][3]
The vehicle's design employed many features unusual on modern vehicles to make it reminiscent of the original Crown, including rear
tail lamps.[4] Due to its exterior dimensions and engine displacement, it was regarded as a mid-size car for exceeding Japanese government dimension regulations and it also obligated Japanese drivers to pay a higher amount of annual road tax
for the larger engine.
