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.
Toyota's spectacular GR Super Sport concept was unveiled at the 2017 Tokyo Auto Salon last weekend. The GR Super Sport appears to draw inspiration from Toyota's LMP1, while using the same main components as the TS050 Hybrid. It's powered by a twin-turbo 2.4-liter V-6 hybrid system developed from the Toyota TS050 Hybrid’s powertrain and produces 986 horsepower. Is this the future of Toyota racing?
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.
Japanese car-manufacturer Toyota showcased their rugged FT-4X concept SUV at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday. The adventurous auto has been designed with Millennials in mind and has been described as a 'rugged rolling toolbox.' It has interior door handles that double as water bottles, warm and cool storage boxes, a ceiling-mounted flashlight and a sleeping bag that fits between the seats and serves as an armrest. Happy adventures, millenials!

World renown sports car manufacturer Ferrari is at it again. The Italian company released its latest beautiful road demon, called the 812 Superfast, at International Geneva Motor Show on Wednesday. Powered by a 6.5 liter V12 engine capable of generating a whopping 789 horsepower, the 812 Superfast is Ferrari’s fastest ever supercar, able to bolt from 0 to 60 in just 2.9 seconds and can exceed speeds of 210 miles per hour. Ferrari's latest model is priced at $308,000 dollars, but, even if you've got the cash, you won't be able to get one - the 812 Superfast is already sold out for 2017. Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne pointed out that the company's strategy lies in first being sure of demand and then making sure to produce less cars than the demand to stay exclusive. The 87th edition of the Geneva International Motor Show has open its doors for second day for industry specialists and journalists on Monday and will be available to the public from March 9-19. The organisers of the 2017 Geneva Motor show are expecting more than 700,000 visitors this year.
