Toyota Fun- Vii Imagine a car that you can change the look so easy as to download an application on your phone or send a picture Facebook. Imagine a car that reflects how you feel and what you do every hour, every minute. This is precisely the original Toyota Fun-Vii. A concept car recently unveiled by Toyota at the Tokyo Motor Show and which the Japanese firm says back again "fun to drive." Perhaps it is not off the day we see the a street car in the logic of Toyota Fun-Vii. The word Fun alone betrays the logic that prevailed in the conception, design and construction of the particular concept. People are now wondering what represents two "i" the answer lies in words and interactive internet. Two i followed the V (ehicle). The user of the car will be able to use the external surface of the vehicle as a projection surface. This specificity allows the entire vehicle to operate as a screen for messages or images. Whatever it anyway you choose. As can be seen if this logic prevails in the external appearance of the car. In the lounge there are three seats and a screen. This starts from the floor and extends up the center console. The still impressive feature is the 3D navigation system with a holographic virtual assistant, but the connection has to detect dangerous situations. Inside there is also the same opportunity to the outside to change color in accordance with the requirements or the psychological mood of the driver. In fact, changes can make the driver even from far away, through the Smartphone. So when you are ready to board the color in the living room and the seats are the one who wants it.The length of 4,020 meters vehicle Toyota (1.745 meters width, height 1,415 meters and 2,750 meters wheelbase) shows the future of motoring.

Lexus LF-LC At the Detroit Motor Show next month, Lexus hopes to pull up the eyes of friends of the automobile, with a stunning concept car which bears the name of LF-LC. Unfortunately, the Japanese automaker did not reveal any additional information about the new creature. The few things we know so far is that the Lexus LF-LC is a precursor for the design language that will follow the brand over the next few years. This means that all future Lexus models will look like the LF-LC concept. The Lexus claims that the LF-LC has a lot of organic shapes, which aim to achieve a closer connection between driver and car. The LF-LC designed the studio Calty Lexus, located in Newport Beach, California. Even if Lexus still holds all the details on the LF-LC completely secret The image released today shows a part of history. In principle we know that the LF-LC is a four-door coupe, or - as the company calls it - a 2 +2 seater sports coupe. This means that there is not much space for rear passengers two seats. The LF-LC is equipped with huge brakes with ventilated discs. Although such information is not available, however, one could argue that the brakes are ceramic. Also something that results from the first photo of car is that it has a panoramic glass roof.
