The Toyota RiN, whatever that stands for, is the world’s biggest car company’s take on designing the car of choice for the health freak of the future. With a massive greenhouse, seats that keep your spine in its proper position, an oxygen-level conditioner and humidifier, plus a meter that gauges your mood through the steering wheel and then displays a colour based on your psychological state, Toyota thinks it can make better, happier motorists, that are more aware of nature and the society that infuses it.
Focusing on “increased comfort†and “serene, healthy living†features include leaf-shaped foot pedals and sliding doors with glass that wraps underneath the floor providing a view of the road below. Plus, you can motor along (supposedly) knowing that when your headlights are on, you won’t blind any pedestrians or oncoming motorists because the light is thoughtfully being distributed to avoid such stresses.
The design language is based on the deep-rooted and tall-growing Yakusugi tree (a variety of Japanese cypress) for its exterior and interior design to express both “harmony with nature” and “healthy mind and body”.
But seriously, if Toyota could implement a few of the less crazy ideas into future models then perhaps we may see a world without road rage and happy, smiling faces in every car and less occurrences of heart problems on the road.

futuristic!
boxy cars with no future on the road…probably only on golf courses…Toyota and Honda are losing it! These cars can’t speed!
maybe toyota should design something that looks great as well. If for mass transport, then I don’t think thats the issure. For your own use, I think that design will cause more people to be annoyed rather than relaxed. LOL
ahh..this is ideal for Greenpeace International…’environmental friendly’ vehical……peace everyone…
No boot! means for short distant.
wow… is a blender with wheels… a little bit too ambitious eh Toyota? well i guess they can afford it anyway..
its like driving in an XBox360

Looks like my lunchbox, on wheels!!
this got to be the most unreliastic,over the top,out of imagination,auto show ever made….its like aliens designing those craps for their own little world…wat the hell hapened to real cars made by real humans ??
this will surely cheer up us in the future..:D
is it comfortable with those seats?
It’s just A CONCEPT. Period.
hi cool concept……..but it think its not a very commercial idea.
cool cencept but doesn’t seem to get very commercialised
My god, have car designers been smoking weed or something?
I now have the idea that toyota’s designers are turtleneck wearing, guitar serenading, pot smoking hippies enjoying chai latte’s while working on their apple laptops at some colourful cafe with scented candles.
Hippies!
I think they built this for environmentalist; just to shut their mouth up….coz toyota are building 2 supercars back there just for us@motorhead. Fair and square rite.
look like an ice cream fridge.maybe in the future we must drive this car to work…ewww
so…which is the back and which is the front? it looks pretty much as if it can go both ways haha

lets go to golf course, he2
something more down to earth pls…
another alien project hey our world been conquer by an alien helppppp
More and more companies are finally realising the fact that global warming is already at a matured stage and there’s no stopping it unless we whut down all factories and run no cars on the road, which is impossible.
So here we have something that’s supposed to take care of us, well at least breathing wise to ensure that we can survive.
Still, some say there will be no future for our grandkids, while some insist that Planet Earth will survive another few good decades. So if it happens, then we may see these cars in your nearest Honda, Toyota and Nissan show rooms.
I remember drawing something like that back in kindergarten. Toyota must have found my sketches.
looks like aquarium. sit in it and you will feels like a fish. and every ‘kam yu lou’ will always keep an eye on you
