Tokyo Trip Part 3: Auto Salon, Cont.

After arriving in the next hall, I was greeted by this mean looking Elise...

and this Caterham 7 in Lotus colors. 

The new 3-series BMW was already mean to begin with!

A good example of a 458 street car; that lip and those sideskirts really make a difference!

Whereas this 458 is dressed appropriately for the track.

I love how Maserati GranTurismo's look, though for this one I'm a bit put off by the stripe.

The Liberty Walk Murcielago! Seeing this car in articles on the internet and in magazines was already a treat! To see it in person is a whole new level.


This was even more of a shocker to see at the Liberty Walk booth! By far, one of the coolest, if not THE coolest Aventador so far.

Of course, I can't forget the Olive Drab Murcielago, which was the first LB I ever saw on the Internets.

Liberty Walk also had this super-low down military themed school bus at their booth. Only in Japan!

A brand new 300C... limousine? 


Orido's V8 powered 86! Trivia! This was actually a twin backup, the other one was apparently in another hall, which I didn't have the chance to see. D:

In the same booth as the Orido 86 was this truck-like creation; made from a Toyota Celsior and apparently the front end of two Camaro's.

This automotive college booth had all sorts of strange projects in terms of car body work, but of course, this one was the one that got my full attention. The 2Fast2Furious R34 has become a van! They had everything down, from the stripes to the decals; hell, they even had the Skyline's signature circular taillights!

The Nippon Automotive College also had their own take of a small Formula car, much like the Formula SAE cars of colleges and universities here in the States!

MK Motorsport's super clean take on the new BMW 5series.

MKM also did a nice job regarding the mini 




This 997 was on some pretty revolutionary one-piece carbon fiber wheels by Australian company Carbon Revolution!

Before departing from the land of the VIP's, I had to get a quick shot of a car that was causing the crowds to stir. This bagged Audi TT had a futuristic looking widebody conversion that covered all the rubber of the tires. The amazing thing was that there was no tire rub at any given ride height!
