Highlights Of The 2007 Tokyo Auto Show RSS

Check out some of the cool concept cars at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show below:


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Toyota Hi-CT Concept
Toyota's Hi-CT aims to be the youthful, edgy, cool kid on the concept block. With a front end only a Mac truck and a locomotive union could love, the Hi-CT has an over exaggerated beltline and short overhangs that can easily dispatch the tight corners found in Tokyo proper.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honda PUYO Concept
The PUYO name is an onomatopoeia that, according to Honda, "expresses the sensation of touching the vehicle's soft body." Sounds kinky, but the PUYO's "gel body" actually is soft, which Honda claims increases safety. According to this pic, the PUYO glows in the dark.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honda CR-Z Concept
Honda's CR-Z concept has plenty of enthusiast potential. Small, lightweight, and packing a hybrid powertrain, it's all about striking a balance between performance and sustainability.













Lexus LF-Xh Concept
The LF-Xh is shining a light on the future of the luxury automaker's RX-series of crossovers. The L-finesse design theme is well represented, with sharp creases and smooth rakes flowing into a slightly derivative front clip and rear end. Its V6 gasoline engine is mated to an electric motor. The powertrain combo drives all four wheels.













Mazda Taiki Concept
Mazda's recent run of "flow" inspired designs has been taken to yet another attractive extreme in the form of the Taiki concept. Featuring enhanced aerodynamics and next-generation rotary power, the Taiki will supposedly influence the future of Mazda's sports coupe lineup.













Nissan GT-R
This car really needs no introduction, just drool over the specs:

• 3.8L Twin Turbo "VR38" V6
• 480 PS (473 HP) / 588 Nm (433 lb-ft)
• Dual-clutch transmission
• Bilstein DampTronic suspension system
• Brembo 6-piston brakes in front, 4-piston in rear













Subaru WRX STI
We've gone from being disappointed by the new Impreza, to pleasantly surprised by the WRX, to smitten by the STI. The new STI's exterior details that set it apart from lesser siblings do not appear to be afterthoughts tacked on to a standard family car, but rather the way the family car was supposed to look in the first place.













VW drops the up! space in Japan
Volkswagen is looking to conquer the cheap car market with its new family of small cars, tentatively referred to as the up! cars. Volkswagen used Tokyo to debut the minivan version called the 'space up!' concept. The concept features suicide doors and can seat four people, including two children thanks to its built-in child seats.













Audi Metroproject Quattro Concept
Audi's new city car concept might look OK in the official press images, but it looks even better in person with its imposing grille and sleek yet muscular lines. Underneath, Audi has developed a hybrid drivetrain using a TSI (turbocharger + supercharger) engine that drives the front wheels, while the electric motor drives the rear, making it a pseudo-AWD car













Nissan Intima
The Nissan Intima's doors are opened to such extreme degrees "to aid access and egress." The guy behind the concept was keen to impress that the outwardly rotating seats are not purely for use by the elderly and infirm, but are to help the rest of us in and out too.

It would be great if they would send these concept cars out on tour across the world every year - seeing them in person would be so much cooler!
