Lamborghini's 'Fighting Bull'
By Brian Laban
The aerodynamic Reventon makes its presence felt in Tokyo.
The aerodynamic Reventon makes its presence felt in Tokyo.
Given that it’s only been six weeks since Lamborghini revealed the spectacular 650-hp V12-powered Reventon in Frankfurt, we shouldn’t be particularly surprised that they didn’t have any new follow-up here.
But what they did have was the news that Reventon, in spite of being the most expensive production Lamborghini ever, with a pre-tax price of around €1 million ($1.43 million U.S.), has already sold its entire planned production run. The other side of that coin, of course, is that the whole run will add up to only 20 cars, even at that price all were snapped up immediately — by “selected” customers, apparently including one based in Tokyo.
Named in an old Lamborghini tradition, for a fighting bull, the Reventon’s fighter-jet-inspired styling grabbed the eye here just as much as it did in Frankfurt. Its body is constructed mainly in CFC carbon-fiber composite. And in a nice illustration of Lamborghini’s attention to detail, the fuel filler cap is machined from a solid aluminum block.
Like an aircraft, Reventon’s instruments use TFT liquid-crystal displays with multiple display modes; and at the center of the display, whatever the mode, it features a g-force meter that shows longitudinal acceleration, deceleration and lateral forces on a graduated 3D grid, which can be useful information in a car with a maximum speed of 340 kph (211 mph) and 0-100 kph (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds.
They talk of the brand being edgy, uncompromising and extreme, which is hard to argue against. And they talk of it being “truly Italian,” which may be true in terms of passion, but what’s finally brought the brand from Sant’Agata to this level of excellence is money and engineering excellence from Germany. It’s a great combination.
In the words of Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini SpA, “the Reventon is the most extreme Lamborghini of all, a true automotive superlative.”

World Debut of M3 Sedan

BMW may be a global brand, but it sells in respectable rather than huge numbers in Asia. So it’s appropriate that the news on its modestly sized Tokyo stand was all from the smaller end of its range.
Most keenly awaited is undoubtedly the world debut of the M3 sedan, which joins the already released coupe version. The celebrated M3 offers the promise of a superlative combination of precisely engineered power, sportiness, dynamic ability and practicality. Its 420-horsepower (309 kW) V8 delivers 0-62 mph in 4.9 seconds — that’s blisteringly faster for a five-seater sedan. And it’ll do 29.4 mpg.
Although it may look like a fairly standard 3-series, only the doors, roof, windows, trunk lid and rear lights are shared with the standard car. The M styling treatment inside and out is subtle but comprehensive, with the power bulge, air scoops, flared wheel arches giving a distinctive and special appearance.
1-Series tii and Others
Less predictable was a new concept, the 1-series tii. The idea behind this is to offer a race-themed ultra-sporty version of the smallest car in BMW’s lineup. It’s specifically designed to appeal to the aesthetics (and presumably pockets) of younger drivers.
This brasher, rawer approach may mean it doesn’t qualify for the M-moniker, but there’s no doubting what this car’s sporty intent is all about with its contrasting color carbon-fiber hood and mirrors, sports wheels, side vents, racing stripes, and mix of black and white backed instruments.
Also on show for the first time in Asia is the BMW CS Concept. The company confirmed that it will “definitely” build a 4-door Gran Turismo car based on this elegant, large coupe. Likewise, the 6-series convertible got its first Asian outing.
The story wasn’t just about performance. The X6 Active Hybrid that was spotlighted at Frankfurt is here too, illustrating BMW’s commitment to reduce emissions while also improving driving pleasure. “The BMW hybrid is special, because it delivers far more driving dynamics than any other hybrids,” said Stefan Krause, BMW’s board of management member for Sales and Marketing.
Meanwhile, at the MINI stand, the Clubman got its Asian premiere. This wagon-like MINI, with its idiosyncratic door arrangement (twin side-hinged rear doors and additional rear door on the right-hand side) will go on sale in Japan in March 2008

Lexus LF-Xh Concept

The Lexus LF-Xh SUV concept takes the L-finesse design language with a powerful and dynamic exterior design, combined with an elegant interior and the latest hybrid technology for outstanding performance — both driving performance and environmental performance.
Powered a V6 gasoline engine and a high-output electric motor hybrid system with all-wheel drive, the LF-Xh provides what Lexus calls "a sophisticated fusion of superior environmental and power performance" to achieve quiet operation, high fuel efficiency and low emissions.
Earlier in 2007 the automaker launched the LS 600h and LS 600hL in Japan as the top of the line Lexus brand and shows the direction for future premium vehicles. With the LF-Xh, it offers a look at the future of other premium SUVs from Lexus.
With obvious ties to current Lexus SUVs, the L-finesse design gives the LF-Xh a very dramatic and aggressive look that is still elegant and refined. The shoulder line is high and combined with the long, sweeping roofline that leads to a narrow and long side glass. The C-pillar flows to the edge of the liftgate and the roofline ends with a spoiler above the steeply raked rear glass. The headlights and the taillights both add dramatic design elements and the upper edges of the grille flare into the headlights.
It's interesting to compare the design of the LF-Xh with the latest version of the LF-A, the two-seat sports car concept from Lexus that was also displayed in Tokyo. While the LF-Xh looks like an SUV, you see design elements from the LF-A sports car and recognize the LF-Xh as a different type of vehicle from the same family. Powered by a potent V10 engine, the LF-A promises a level of performance and driving excitement that has never been offered by Lexus.
The first Lexus "F" premium sports car is the IS F, launched for the Japanese market at the Tokyo Motor Show. A high-performance version of the IS series, the IS F is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 417 horsepower with an 8-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission.

Ford Harley F-150
After six special-edition Harley-Davidson Ford F-150 and Super-Duty pickup trucks, the all-American alliance gives the bad-boy treatment to the new-generation F-150 for the first time. After a disturbing effort with a pumpkin-colored Super-Duty, we’re glad to see Ford is back in black. For 2006, the Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 SuperCab is given a black monochrome treatment, with red and blue stripe accents and obligatory badging. The truck is dressed with a distinct lower valance, custom billet grille, blackout headlamps and taillamps, chrome side steps, and massive 22-inch aluminum wheels. Inside, the Harley truck has all the leather, embroidery, and chrome expected, transforming the dash, captains chairs, center stack, and even doors. Buyers will have a choice of 4x2 and AWD configurations, marking the first all-wheel-drive application on the F-150. Under the hood on all examples will be a 5.4L/300-hp V-8 boasting 365 lb-ft of torque. Bristling with attitude, this truck shows that Ford has the formula down pat.
Ford Fusion
Ford is finally crashing the family sedan party that the ubiquitous Camry, Accord, and Altima sedans have long dominated. Based on Mazda6 running gear, the Fusion will be offered with a 2.3-liter 160-hp inline four or a 3.0-liter 210-hp V-6 mated to a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The front suspension resembles that of a Mercedes E-class, using a control arm, a lateral link, and a leading link to reduce the effective scrub radius for improved steering feel and accuracy. Along with a multi-link rear suspension, this setup promises best-in-class handling. Four-wheel disc brakes will be standard on all models; ABS and traction control are options. The look is broad-shouldered and confidently American outside and the interior fit/finish and materials are first-rate. One area where Ford invites unflattering comparison, however, is in its interior space: most major dimensions fall short of the Asian bogeys, some by up to two inches.
