Toyota UUV

The UUV was created in Europe by Toyota’s European design centre. The target of UUV is active people for whom the choice of car is a statement about themselves and their lifestyle. They are looking for something different, powerful and innovative, but they want to retain the prestige of a premium car.

The UUV concept blends hatchback, sedan and wagon into one 'multi-cross' body. It is 4430mm long, 1820mm wide and 1650mm high, with a long wheelbase for a spacious interior. The exterior features strong sweeping character lines, sharp surface edges and a tall, strongly curved roofline. Geometric surfaces are typical of the urban environment in which this car will mainly be seen.

The interior features a full width ‘Glass Vision’ screen which offers entertainment and navigation functions to both driver and passenger. The screen is made of a photopolymer, for a more realistic display and a large projection area.

Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution 2+2

The Pajero Evolution 2+2 develops further the theme of the Pajero Evolution concept shown at the 2001 Frankfurt show. This year’s model is a more realistic road-going car, with additional seating and upgraded trim for a civilized drive about town, or in any situation.

The front end shows a new grille design that expresses the power of the new V8, while a new rear wing adds a sporty and functional touch to the all-purpose civility of the car. New seats and more sophisticated materials and design highlight the enhancements to the interior and encourage up to four occupants to enjoy the Pajero adventure.

The Pajero Evolution 2+2 is equipped with a 4.7-litre V8 engine for all-terrain performance.

Fioravanti Yak

Yak is a crossover vehicle designed for a powerful V8 and all-wheel drive. The upper structure is based on a cross ring element, a sort of central roll-bar. The unusual bodyside treatment with a vertical axis running through the B-pillar allows for the integration of a new product patented by Fioravanti: side window wipers.

The array of front lamps are integrated into specific units made of new generation extremely efficient LEDs, which are controlled by software to obtain different light patterns.
The cabin is divided into two zones: the front is designed for driving, even in challenging situations such as off road driving, and the rear provides better comfort for passengers. The rear zone has a large three passenger bench seat which extends to the doors and merges with the storage pockets, under the seats are removable storage drawers.
