ok now to play the devils advocate what possible use is there for such a perfect piece of machinery ? apart from insane 4 wheel power slides and skids or maybe it was built buy BP to increase the demand for petroleum products again !

some light reading
The range's mainstream powertrain is Toyota's JZ inline six-cylinder engine family. The 1JZ-GE is a naturally aspirated DOHC 2491-cm3 unit with VVT-i (intelligent variable intake valve timing) and 24 valves rated at 147 kW (200 hp) at 6000 rpm and 255 N•m (188 lb•ft) at 4000 rpm. This engine powers both the rear- and all-wheel-drive Royal/Athlete. Next up the power ladder is the type 2JZ-GE 2997-cm3 version for the all-wheel-drive Royal, producing 162 kW (220 hp) at 5800 rpm and 294 N•m (217 lb•ft) at 3800 rpm. The performance Athlete is powered by a turbocharged version of the 1JZ 2.5-liter unit with a GTE suffix, putting out 206 kW (280 hp) at 6200 rpm and 378 N•m (279 lb•ft) at 3800 rpm.
A significant addition to the JZ family of engines is the 2JZ-FSE, a DOHC 24-valve 3.0-L unit, which is Toyota's second D4 direct-injection gasoline engine. As its designation indicates, it shares its lower half with the 2997-cm3 2JZ-GE unit with 86.0-mm (3.39-in) bore and stroke. The D4 upper half is unique to this engine, and represents the state of Toyota's direct-injection art. The 2JZ-FSE's power and torque outputs are the same as the port-injection 2JZ-GE's at 162 kW (220 hp) and 294 N•m (217 lb•ft), but at lower engine speeds of 5600 rpm and 3600 rpm, respectively. The engine's compression ratio is a higher 11.3:1 vs. the port injection unit's 10.5:1, with both engines using regular-grade unleaded gasoline.
