Vroom, vroom, space cadets. You are clapping eyes on the Lexus LFA, which was presented at this year’s 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. I can only imagine that it made at least a few waves, because come on. That is one hot, hot Lexus. Besides that, it is worth four years worth of effort, not to mention two other show cars.

No surprise, it is classified as a supercar with a brand new, front mid engine. Its skin? Carbon fiber reinforced plastic, otherwise known as CFRP. That makes the car strong and incredibly lightweight, and also allowed the designers and engineers behind it to have a lot of freedom when it came to creating curves, edges, and other shapes.

Inside the car, there are three zones separating the interior, which is focused on the driver and hand built. There is a human zone, a driving zone, and a mechanical zone.

For those of you that have ever, ever used Google’s street view, it is pretty cool huh?  Personally, I have used it just too really look and see how clean a neighborhood is and also how the traffic is, however Microsoft is not a fan of it and they are actually coming up with something pretty cool.

Microsoft is in the works of creating more like a navigation system that you can actually drive along.  To me, that is something that is actually pretty damn cool.  I think that while Google’s street view was sweet, if Microsoft could come up with something better, I am definitely excited.

So if you have every used the street view and have complaints – don’t worry, Microsoft is going to take care of you!

Subaru has recently released the very first renderings of their new concept — the Subaru Hybrid Tourer concept, to be precise. It is set to be unveiled at the motor show in Tokyo next month, which will be the forty first year of the event.

The concept is a proposal for a grand touring vehicle. It is designed to integrate three important factors: safety, driving performance, and eco friendliness.

On the outside, the vehicle is said to be inspired by actual wings, in order to evoke a sense of freedom and a sense of confidence. The design is an aerodynamic one, emphasized by the vehicle’s gullwing doows and its areas of open glass.

Inside, the vehicle can seat up to four passengers and manages to feel quite open. The dashboard, for instance, can be moved either up or down, so the driving environment is optimized.
