Throughout the 1980s, ’90s, and 2000s, Japanese automakers churned out futuristic and tech-laden concept cars. Mainly, the reason for these show vehicles was to demonstrate to the world the innovation and development capabilities of each brand, as well as the direction they wanted to take their respective companies. While some focused on performance, such as the Mitsubishi HSR-II Concept, others focused on improving the ozone layer, such as the Toyota FZV-R.
