Tokyo Motor Show (pics)

edit: I added a few more pics that better showcase the focal point of this year's show.



GT-R Proto




and a black beauty:


Here are the pics I promised. Original post here - 39th Tokyo Motor Show

Mitsuoka Orochi:

The "OROCHI Nude-Top-Roadstar" is a new design proposal that expands the frame of the conventional "OROCHI". Our design approch is to vividly and directoly appeal to one's sight, spirit and sensitivity. The "OROCHI Nude-Top-Roadstar" exemplifies how this new approach is taking form. We applied a more open design and gull-wing doors to the previous road-version prototype "OROCHI". The name "Nude-Top" is well suited for this beautiful and stylish design. We even went so far as to not attach any side mirrors in order to create a daring design that would bring forth this new "OROCHI". We hope that you will take a close look at this unique design.


I didn't take one decent pic of the GT-R Proto:

At the 35th Tokyo Motor Show in 2001, Nissan unveiled the GT-R Concept, confirming that the GT-R legend would be continued into the 21st century. Then, at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show in 2003, Nissan announced the next-generation GT-R would be rolled out in 2007. Now with the launch of the production model just two years away, the development of the new GT-R has moved ahead again with the reveal of the GT-R PROTO.


Maserati MC12:

The result is that 37 long years after its last victory in an international championship (1967, Cooper Maserati F1, South African Grand Prix), the Trident is returning to the track. Maserati has designed a new road-going Grand Tourer known as the MC12 from which a GT racing version has also been developed.


Lamborghini Murcielago:

There are new features on the Lamborghini flagship, the 12-cylinder MurciƩlago Model Year 2006. The most important of these is without doubt the possibility to equip the car with carbon-ceramic brakes. Carbon-ceramic discs offer clear benefits:braking efficiency remains constant at both low and high temperature, with no fading, even after hard use improved handling, agility and efficiency shorter braking distances with reduced pedal effort. These advantages are complemented by:
longer lifetime
lighter than steel
state of the art system

The MurciƩlago MY 06 has a range of new options. Optional equipment includes the "Interior Carbon Package", where a number of the interior components are made from carbon fibre.
