Top Ten Tokyo 2015 Motorshow concepts, as curated by Wallpaper*... No. 10 – Mercedes Vision Tokyo: Nice to see the return of non-Japanese carmakers launching all-new cars at Tokyo. It’s a tough place to compete conceptually...
概念车不能比东京车展更好。每隔两年,最好的日本汽车(和摩托车)制造商,再加上一些欧美品牌,都会想出更快(更慢,但更有趣)的新想法。许多设计都是通过专注于适合城市的环保动力系统的小型和良好包装的汽车来设计的,而且看起来和移动时一样好。它们还得到技术的支持,这些技术往往更接近生产,而不是它们可能表明的未来主义概念。
第44届车展是东京多年来最好的车展之一,或许反映了更乐观的经济前景以及更好的组织和时间安排-在日历上提前举行,而不是11月-后者经常与洛杉矶车展(LA Auto Show)直接重叠。
概念亮点包括一辆本田起立式通勤车,类似于冲锋队头盔,一辆日产箱式汽车,实际上是虚拟内部,以及一辆丰田燃料电池汽车,它是便携式能源发电机的翻倍。生产汽车也在展会上亮相-Mini的新敞篷车和几辆宝马和保时捷Go-更快的变体-但东京的重点是概念性的,因此我们在这里强调。

... but Mercedes fitted right in with this smooth-surfaced Vision Tokyo – a 2030-style take on the MPV, perhaps
The car follows nicely in the stylistic tyre tracks of its F 015 autonomous driving concept shown at the January 2015 Consumer Electronics Show
No. 9 – Style-D Piana: Cute as can be, this front-hatched, single-door, two-seater city car with retro button-quilted seating was a genuine Tokyo Motorshow surprise
The Style-D company was only set up by ex-Toyota designer Yashuhiro Yamashita in March 2015, but his sub-2.5-metre long Piana electric vehicle concept seemed extremely well made and conceived, with a lithium-ion battery good for a 75-mile range and a 45mph top speed, plenty enough for its intended inner city locale
Although there could be some modern crash regulation issues to resolve before production around that short front end, and it clearly references the mid-50s Isetta (and its similar side-hinged front door), the Piana is nonetheless a fascinating start for an intriguing new firm – and one with surely the coolest catchphrase of the whole show: 'Design your dreams for spread smile and excitements all over the world.' We’re down for that
No. 8 – Honda Wander Stand: You can usually rely on Honda to come up with unique ideas at the Tokyo Motorshow and this Wander Stand concept certainly fit the bill
Aesthetically channelling a stormtrooper helmet and a 1980s ski-boot, this covered four-wheeler ‘two-seater or -stander’ allows navigation of narrow streets in any direction...
... diagonally as well as forwards, backwards and sideways through Honda’s Omni-Traction Drive System, while keeping an elevated view of the road
No. 7 – Nissan Teatro for Dayz: Get past the daft name and this Nissan vehicle was one of the most conceptual of the show
The kei car regulation-inspired narrow and boxy exterior is typically Japanese (Nissan already has a production kei car called Dayz) but the interior represents a radical shift in approach
Dispensing with anything more than the basic seat, dashboard and steering wheel forms, its designers then envisioned those surfaces covered in smart materials that could enable increasingly connected 20-something youths to stay in touch with their friends, play video games and endlessly customise their mobile interior – from virtual button-back leather to knitted wool effect. Groovy!
No. 6 – Suzuki Air Triser: While VW procrastinates over producing a properly-new camper van fit for the 21st century, former partner Suzuki is still coming up with cooler and stealthier versions of its own
The Air Triser is the latest and arguably greatest, with an awesome diagonal two-tone exterior and multi-function interior accessed via two huge sliding doors on one side. Seating can transform from three-rows up to a lounge and sleeping area down
The unusually-situated ceiling and side wall-mounted screens add an original dimension too, able to display sat-nav maps, and connect to and display passengers’ smart phone content. Maybe Suzuki needs to be bold and get on and make it (before VW regains the confidence to do so)
No. 5 – Toyota FCV Plus: Toyota design is a bit schizophrenic at the moment, making cars as ugly as the new Prius and Mirai and then as cool and forward-thinking as this FCV Plus concept
The FCV bit stands for 'Fuel Cell Vehicle' and the the 'Plus' part indicates that it is not merely a means of transport but is also intended to generate electricity from its own on-board hydrogen fuel tank (and elsewhere) to, in effect, become a mobile power source for homes, workplaces and further afield
The FVC Plus has a great futuristic interior, too
No. 4 – Mazda RX-Vision: Design-wise, the Mazda RX-Vision was one of the most conventional concepts unveiled at Tokyo – but still truly elegant with it. The long-nosed, cabin-rearward, two-seater sportscar hits all the right notes from a proportion and styling point of view, with well-resolved surfaces and exquisitely subtle lighting details front and back. We just can’t help feeling that shape-wise, the car might suit a Mercedes or even an Aston Martin badge more
Either way, it's a beautiful car, and tipped to herald the return of a bigger RX-badged production sportscar, with another iteration of its famed rotary engine inside – positioned in Mazda’s range above the current MX-5 roadster
No. 3 – Lexus LF-FC: Lexus design has gone bold in a big, but good, way in recent years – and the new 5.3-metre long, four-seater LF-FC concept is no exception
Its sweepingly curvaeous lines, luxury detailing and eco-focused fuel cell powertrain are all widely expected to translate pretty closely into the look and feel of the next-generation of its flagship LS luxury saloon. If so, it should once again make the largest Lexus limo a proper contender against rivals like the Mercedes S-Class and Jaguar XJ. Promising
No. 2 – Daihatsu Nori Ori: Aiming to aid mobility for all ages and abilities, the Daihatsu Nori Ori concept roughly translates as 'get in, get out'
It's a multi-purpose vehicle with two extremely wide entry and exit points, and a retractable ramp for easy wheelchair, pushchair and bicycle access
Concept designer Koichi Mizuta put it into context simply: 'Japanese society is ageing and we want to help take care of them'
No. 1 – Yamaha Sports Ride Concept: The motorbike (and musical instrument) brand surprised almost everyone at the 2013 Tokyo show by unveiling its Smart-a-like two-seater city car MOTIV concept
For the 2015 show Yamaha was at it again, but this time with a two-seater sportscar based on the same lightweight, high strength, flexible platform and iStream manufacturing process designed by UK-based, ex-McLaren F1 supercar designer Gordon Murray. With its luxurious thick-leather clad interior and a promised driving experience closer to a motorcycle than a car, showgoers were keen to know more about its production chances. ‘Wait and see’ seems to be the official line (which is better than ‘Forget it’)
Meanwhile, to keep existing customers happy, Yamaha also showed some great-looking concept bikes including the PED2 and PES2 and an incredible spherical scaffolding structure to mount its latest drum kit within. Diverse
