Tokyo, where the weird and wonderful collide
The Japanese know how to create wacky new concept cars with futurist technology and design, as we’ll see at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show
This coming Wednesday, the doors will open for the world’s media to the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show in Japan. It may not have as much relevance to the Irish and European car markets as the Geneva, Frankfurt and Paris events, but it is debatably one of the most fascinating. The Japanese car makers produce lots of interesting models for their domestic market that we never see, which are worth the price of entry alone, but they also pull out all the stops when it comes to creating wacky new concept cars with future-looking technology and design. And in among all that are usually a handful of important debutants that motorists all over the globe should sit up and take notice of, especially those of us who have an arguably unhealthy appreciation of cars.
