Few of the “Cars from the Future”, which will be at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show, you can see here.

Toyota will be present at Tokyo Motor Show, this year with many concepts. One of them is Toyota 1/X, which has the same interior space as the Prius, but is less weighting, only 420 kg. Toyota 1/X combines fossil fuel consumption, by reducing FFV technology and a plug-in hybrid power train, with 500 cc displacement.

5. YAHAMA TESSERACT CONCEPT
The Tesseract Concept, from Yamaha (a brand known very well for its Motorcycle area) is a combination between motorcycle, bike and car and is made for all of us who prefer parking to be a piece of cake. This car will also be a hybrid, getting its power through a V-Twin engine and through an electric engine.

6. NISSAN PIVO 2
Nissan Pivo 2 appears after Nissan Pivo, a concept which was presented at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. Pivo 2 is an interesting model and it is represented by:
- a robotic agent to share every trip;
- 90 degrees turning wheels;
- a 360 degree turning cabin.

7. MAZDA TAIKI
Mazda Taiki is a sport car which visually expresses the atmosphere, called “taiki” in Japanese that offers to the environment a lot of protection. The concept is giving a front engine rear- wheel drive layout and the feeling of an all-glass canopy. The creation of an amazing design that visually expresses the flow of air was inspired by the image of a pair of Hagoromo.
Hagoromo are the flowing robes, from a Japanese legend, that can enable a celestial maiden to fly.

future is butt ugly!
I couldn’t have said it better myself ali.
omg. these are so hot and awesome.
To all comments saying its but ugly, why don’t you get a design degree and submit your own ideas.
David, your comment makes no sense whatsoever. There is a place for critics in the world.
That Mazda Taiki is so hot! OMG, I cant wait to see that on the streets… or in my driveway!
Ugh, for the most part the above designs are too “Asian” in concept, ugly but innovative in concept. I as a consumer do not need a design degree to call something ugly. I must confess, my favorite is the NISSAN PIVO 2
i like the Roundbox and the Intima, Taiki, and Tesseract. Those are all feasible and actually dont look too bad. The Tesseract, i would buy one right now if it was out. the Taiki will be a good high end sports car, the roundbox will simulate a scion but still looks ugly, and the intima would be on like a Lexus level. alot of those may be ugly, but they are economically friendly and have features some of us havent even fathomed about.
@David
going by your argument, people without literature degrees cannot write book reviews?
anyway i find the YAHAMA TESSERACT f-ing cool!
the nissan intima concept is my favorite. its very high tech. if i live to see myself get rich in the future, i would definitely by me one of those!
Normally, I would applaud the Asian auto companies for their futuristic designs, since they seem to influence the entire industry (especially the American auto makers). But many of these designs are too weird to be considered good.
The only exception is the Nissan Intima. Outward-opening doors are awesome!
