The Daihatsu brand has been absent from our market for quite some time, but this does not mean that it has completely said goodbye. The company is now owned by Toyota and is still very active on the other side of the world. A few concepts will be brought to the Tokyo Motor Show, among which we present the two most interesting ones. Whether you like them or not is up to you.
The new Audi A7 Sportback (2019) is just as impressive as it was 7 years ago when it was first presented to the world public. It shares many components with the A8 model, but still retains its sporty character.
The Tokyo Motor Show is perfect for presenting new models and achievements in the automotive and motorcycle industry. Yamaha will present the MOTOROiD concept motorcycle, which cooperates with its rider with the help of artificial intelligence. And not only that, the shape itself is so futuristic that even the creators of science fiction could not come up with something like this.
The Toyota TJ Cruiser Concept will be perfect for you if you've always wanted a delivery van and SUV. It will also come in handy for those who, due to their needs, already have both of the aforementioned body versions of the car. The TJ Cruiser represents a harmonious relationship between a light delivery truck and an increasingly popular SUV.
Vespa is another one of the Italian inventions that have conquered the world. It is an iconic, classic and best-selling scooter in the world. When she was introduced in 1946, she was nicknamed "paperino", which means duck, which flew at her size. The design of the Vespa is definitely timeless, but an American motorcycle manufacturer was asked what the Vespa would look like if it were turned into a real motorcycle.
The Aston Martin DB11 Volante will be suitable for those who want to combine an elegantly refined "grand tourer" with the possibility of quickly opening the roof. Winter is almost knocking on the door, and right now Aston Martin is teasing us with a "topless" car. But there is no other way, they had to present it now, if the first five buyers want to drive it already next spring.
The Polestar is the first car produced by this advanced Volvo division. Recently, the two companies were still under the same roof, but at Volvo they decided to establish the Polestar brand and under its name manufacture their most powerful "Swedes". The Polestar 1 Coupe is the long-awaited hybrid sports car, which hides as much as 600 horsepower under the hood.
The story of the Volkswagen Polo began in 1975. The Polo conquered the world in five generations, which sold more than 16 million units. The year 2001 was a turning point, when the Polo got its characteristic round headlights, making it the best-selling Polo of all time. The year 2017 brought us the now sixth generation of the Polo, which once again set out to seduce the masses. Here is the new Volkswagen Polo (2017), which is already driving on Slovenian roads.
The Baglietto Sestante yacht represents a combination of speed and comfort. Even as a concept, it was intended to achieve high speeds and for passengers to not lose any comfort.
Fliz is a Polish language that offers a new alternative option for transportation in urban centers. It offers a different design of the bike, which old and young will turn to. Up until now, the wheels have followed a basic formula: two wheels one behind the other, one between the pedals connected to the drive unit by a chain. The base has remained the same, but the shape and materials have advanced, and this is where the new-age Fliz bike comes into play.
In September, Ford presented the Ford Ka+, which impresses in the small car class with its extremely spacious interior, very low fuel consumption and fun dynamic driving, which is available at an affordable price. It is interesting for older couples, it is excellent as a second car in the family or as a first car for young drivers, among whom is the new Domen Prevc, a promising Slovenian eagle. Domen Prevc, who turned 18 in the summer, is also taking driving lessons these days during intensive preparations for the start of the ski jumping season to become a young driver. We caught him a few days before the main test drive.
Wiesmann has been returning to the automotive scene since 2015, but not very successfully. But it seems that they managed to arrange the supply of engines, and so they are very close to having the Wiesmans on the road again. The engines will be borrowed from the BMW M department, because if they are good enough for the latest BMW M5, they will of course be good enough for Wiesmann's boutique masterpieces.
