Tokyo Motor Show
 
東京モーターショー!!

Well for those who care about cars, this was a big event recently. Anyway, the Tokyo Auto Show takes place in October at Chiba City, Japan and is essentially one of the most prestiged showcases for the newest cars around the globe. Although it's known for seeing some of the newest beautiful models of vehicles to come out, the Tokyo Auto Show is best known for it's display of concept cars and PROTO cars.
This years' display of new cars has left me and many other drooling and dazed at ways to rip apart the roads.

The highlights that I've gotten from this years event has been the following:
-the race queens~~!
-unveiling of the production Nissan GT-R
-the prototype Lancer Evolution X
-the prototype Impreza WRX STI
-unveiling of Mazada's concept Taiki
-the Mitsuoka Orochi
-and the Lamborghini Reventon

I don't know why Lamborghini bothers to name its cars. They should just name them all the Lamborghini "It's a fucking Lamborghini of course you want one" and have done with it.

Also I reserve the right to start caring about Mazda's wacky-ass concept cars as soon as they put anything even slightly like one of them anywhere near actual production.

Lexus LF-Sh.

I want one of the new F series sooooo badly. This one is supposed to compete with 12 cylinder performance models from other companies and still get gas mileage...

EDIT: Linkage to the show for those of you who'd like to drool.

EDIT EDIT:

I want this too.

you mean this monstrosity of a concept car?

Demetrius 10-15-2007 11:22 PM

Lexus F series, but hell, I'd drive that. Although, I'd be very worried about cross winds and lack of downforce...

Xaeta 10-15-2007 11:32 PM

I'd be more worried about a switch that when flipped sends the car back to the mother ship.

It reminds me of a dog's head.
