Tourists visiting Tokyo usually like seeing unusual culture, by venturing into Harajuku and was struck with inappropriate clothing model or to Kabukicho for bento meal while watching the fighting robot.



However, once the two-year real weirdness happening at the Center of International Exhibition 'Big Sight' which houses the exhibition Motor Tokyo.

Known as one of the five largest motor show in the world, the exhibition in Tokyo is famous for the display of a concept car or car concept - which have not been manufactured - because the Japanese car manufacturers compete with one another in terms of 'thinking ahead'.

So some of the concept car was a concept that is very high.

Typically, the view of the future is slim glass and carbon solid mechanics with amazing technology. This year Toyota display the expectations on the front-or actually beyond deep with Kikai.

Toyota Kikai still a lot of details that have not been disclosed.

The windows are made with less air to rise to the sensation of two small windows at the bottom of the wheelhouse which allows the driver watched by up and down the streets.

Toyota Kikai abandon the concept of the engine hood.

The driver sits in the middle of the vehicle, provide an atmosphere of resurrection fighter models wheelhouse earlier times. Panel analog gauges - including gasoline instructions are round - complements the presence of a retro atmosphere. Passengers sit slightly behind the driver, on the left and right.

This car is a Toyota hybrid - combining the power of gasoline and electricity-but of a hybrid type T-bucket long. Toyota said Kikai remind us of the appeal 'physique can be held' in the digital era.

Exhaust and per on the back also left open.

Presumably we have to admit Kikai is a refreshing change from the hood, which opened to see inside there is a car engine or cooking pot. By Kikai not have to open the hood to see the engine.

And the open engines, must be easy to replace the engine oil.
