Honda and Toyota unveiled some rad new sports concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show on Wednesday. Honda's sleek Sports EV puts a retro twist on modern electric sports vehicles. Toyota unveiled a targa top speedster called the GR HV Sports Concept. The new concepts may signify a deeper design shift for the Japanese auto giants, with a greater focus on electric and hybrid vehicles potentially coming in the near future.
This is the new Toyota Century, an exclusive car only available for VIP clients to purchase by invitation only, and it's the first update of the model in 20 years. The luxurious Toyota Century has gone through minimal body style changes, as it is regarded as a tradition which should remain constant through the years. However, the previous model of the Century came equipped with a powerful V12 engine, but the new model features a 5.0-litre V-8 hybrid.
Until a few years ago the Tokyo Motor Show was one of Asia’s most important motor shows. But the boom in China has meant the show in the Japanese capital has been relegated to the second division. Nevertheless, there are some interesting premieres to marvel at this year.
