if toyota has its way, paint jobs could become a thing of the past, because it’s unveiled a car that can change its whole look in an instant.
the fun-vii, which stands for “vehicle interactive internet”， is a concept car with a bodyshell made of touch-screen panels that not only allow the driver to change the pattern on display but also connect the car to the dealership’s website for a check-up.
it even greets its driver with a message that flashes up on the door.
toyota showed off the unique car ahead of the tokyo motor show today, with company president akio toyoda saying: “a car must appeal to our emotions. if it’s not fun, it’s not a car.”
the car giant has no plans to put fun-vii into production just yet, but explained that it’s an example of the kinds of technologies that it could incorporate into designs in the future.
it said in a statement: “it heralds toyota’s vision of a future where people, cars and society are linked.”
据英国《每日邮报》11月28日报道，如果丰田汽车公司用自己的方式来打造个性车身，很有可能会让汽车涂鸦技术成为历史。因为该公司公布了一辆能数瞬间改变整体外观的汽车。
这款型号为fun-vii的概念车号称是“互动互联式的交通工具”，车身外壳使用触屏面板制造，不仅能允许驾驶者改变车体的外观图案，还能与汽车经销商的网站连接以便汽车的技术检查。
车门上甚至能显示出欢迎驾驶者的信息。
在今年的东京车展开幕之前(11月30日)，丰田公司就于今日(28日)向外展示了这款独特的汽车。丰田公司的总裁丰田章男说：“汽车必须能呼应我们的情绪，如果不好玩，就不是辆好车。”
作为汽车行业巨头的丰田汽车公司尚未计划将fun-vii概念车投入生产。但他们解释说这款汽车是未来汽车技术的一个例子。
该公司在一份声明中称：“这款车预示着丰田公司对未来汽车的一种展望，即将人、车以及社会融为一体。”
