So we thought we’d count down some of the weirdest, most wonderful Japanese concept cars of all time. It's by no means an exhaustive list but a reminder, if it were needed, of just what the Land of the Rising Sun is capable of imagining into existence.
From the absolutely wild Toyota EX-III of 1969, to the Honda J-VX, to the Mitsubishi HSR-II, discover our nine favourites. Looking back at them, the cars might be crazy but most of the names could have come from a photocopier catalogue. Oh, Japan. Which is your favourite? Let us know.
