The brand new FCV-R concept bowed at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show earlier today. It’s supposed to be a practical sedan-type next-generation fuel-cell concept vehicle. The vehicle combines the next generation of hydrogen-powered tech with looks that come from the Prius family.
Toyota plans to actually bring a production version of the car to the mass market by 2015, so we have to take the tear-dropped sedan very seriously. They say that the 70 MPa fuel tank hold enough hydrogen for a 700 km (435 miles).

But the concept is also interesting for its bold design lines that are also supposed to be aerodynamically. Inside, the FCV-R offers a digital instrument cluster, a massive infotainment system that looks like an iPad and a large bevel underneath that looks the tiny tables you get with your airplane seat.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
