Futuristic white sports car driven by Aki (Akiko Wakabayashi) in You Only Live Twice. For the film, the Toyota Motor Company offered to create a special version of their new 1966 2000GT sports car, complete with a convertible top—the first of its kind ever seen in Japan. Into this dream car, special effects chief John Stears added a functional closed-circuit television that allows Bond (Sean Connery) and Aki to communicate with Tiger Tanaka at the Tokyo headquarters of the Japanese Secret Service.
