Ferrari, Is This Ok? Modified F40 At 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon (Part 2)

The Toyota Center has just unveiled its latest creation: an electric A86. Yes, you read that right. The iconic sports car has undergone a stunning transformation, ditching its gasoline engine for an electric motor. But don't worry, gearheads, it still has a gearbox and even a clutch. It's like an Alexis system on steroids.

As you approach the car, you can't help but notice the clever play on words on the door. Instead of "Fujiwara Tofu Shop," it now proudly displays "Denki Jidor" (electric car in Japanese). Talk about a modern twist on a classic.

And if that's not enough to blow your mind, feast your eyes on the hydrogen engine version. Yes, you heard that correctly, too. This A86 is powered by not one, not two, but three hydrogen tanks and features a 4AG rail injection system. Talk about an epic win in the engine department.

But it's not just about the power. This car is a maverick in size, making a massive l. It's the kind of car that will turn heads and inspire thoughts. And with the talk of an electric motor paired with a traditional gearbox, can you imagine the possibilities? It's like mixing high-tech innovation with classic performance. The result? Pure driving bliss.

Audi S1 E-Tron Quattro Punatron: A Missed Opportunity

As we move on from the electric A86, we come across the Audi S1 E-Tron Quattro Punatron. This car was meant to be the talk of the town, with its impressive specs and the presence of Mr. Block himself. Unfortunately, plans change, and we're left wanting more.

But let's not dwell on what could have been. Instead, let's focus on what we have in front of us: a four-rotor beauty. The rear fender line may not be everyone's cup of tea, but hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And this one is definitely not bad.

Carbon Fiber: A Love-Hate Relationship

Ah, carbon fiber. The material of choice for those seeking both style and performance. It's lightweight, it looks cool, but there's one thing people seem to forget: its audio properties. Yes, you read that right. If you take a whiz in a carbon fiber toilet, it's going to sound like a porta potty. And that's not something you want to experience.

But let's not let that dampen our love for carbon fiber. It's still the go-to material for those who want to amp up the look of their cars. Take, for example, the carbon 911 we stumble upon. It sports unpainted carbon fenders, giving it a unique and edgy vibe. It's a bold move, and we can't help but appreciate the display of creativity.

The World of Racing: From NFTs to GT3 Cars

As we continue our journey through the Toyota Center, we find ourselves immersed in the world of racing. The air is buzzing with excitement, and it seems like everyone has an opinion on the hottest topics.

NFTs, the latest craze in digital art, are now making their way into the racing world. Chad, our enthusiastic guide, can't help but ask if anyone wants to buy some NFTs. After all, he needs to fund his dreams of entering the Blunt Pond series. And as the conversation turns to GT3 cars, we can't help but wonder how much they cost these days. But hey, money shouldn't be a deterrent when it comes to pursuing your automotive passions.

From Kei Cars to Rotary Wonders

As we make our way through the aisles, we encounter a variety of cars that seem straight out of a car enthusiast's dream. From the tiny Tohoku 660, a k-car racing series with both turbo and non-turbo classes, to a Mazda Roadster with a stunning Shantae body drop, the variety is astounding.

And let's not forget the RX-7s. From the four-rotor beast to the absolute slick daddy on VSKs, there's an RX-7 for every taste. And if you're a fan of old-school classics, you'll be pleased to see the R32 lights and DC5 Integra ganadors, reminiscent of an era when cars were lightweight and built for speed.

The Unconventional and Unique

But it's not just the mainstream cars that capture our attention. In a sea of carbon fiber, GT kits, and racing legends, there are a few gems that stand out for their unconventional and unique nature.

One such gem is the Alpha Julie, a car that literally just got finished one day before the show. It's a head-turner, built by 21-year-old students from a technical college for car construction. And while we appreciate their effort and creativity, we can't help but spot a few potential issues, like drainage problems and a questionable fuel tank placement.

A Wild Ride Comes to an End

As our eight-hour adventure at the Toyota Center comes to a close, we reflect on the incredible journey we've experienced. From electrifying A86s to mind-boggling rotary wonders, the world of cars continues to surprise and inspire.

Thank you for joining us on this wild ride, and remember, the automotive world is constantly evolving. So buckle up and get ready for the next exhilarating chapter in the ever-changing world of cars.
