Tokyo Motor Show

Since 1954, the Tokyo Motor Show has been held every year. This year, due to a global pandemic caused by the Corona virus, the Tokyo Motor Show has been canceled.

The organizers of the Tokyo Motor Show said: “As such, we would like to prioritize having visitors experience these vehicles in the real world, and we would rather hold the event in the real world, not virtually. So, we have decided to cancel the event . “

Like the Olympics that were canceled last year, the Tokyo Motor Show has been postponed to 2022 or 2023. Also, it was decided that in the future the event will be called the Tokyo Mobility Show.

Rolls-Royce Down

The work of the famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma was the inspiration for the design of the special Rolls-Royce Down model. Down was made for the owner of the Westbank company and was inspired by The Kita building in Tokyo designed by Kengo Kuma.

The intention of the designers was to connect the architecture and the world of luxury cars. That’s why Down is painted in Silver Haze, modeled on the materials used in the construction of the building, which reveal a bronze hue in daylight.

The interior of the Down used natural materials such as Selby gray leather with Arctic white and black details.

The owner wanted his unique car to be paired with a multi-level penthouse located at the top of The Kit building.
