Tokyo Motor Show 2011 | drive it!

"Mobility can change the world" is the motto of the 42nd Tokyo Motor Show. Asia and above all China have now become one of the most important markets - if not the most important market - for high-end German carmakers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Tokyo is also crucial for the Germans because Japan is home to their biggest rivals in the mass-selling small and mid-range segments. The event sees a strong emphasis on new technologies in the fields of environmental protection, safety and energy. In total the show presents 26 world premieres, and drive it! brings you all the highlights and latest trends.
