Toyota introduces the i-REAL
Bangkok International Fashion Week is |supposed to be all about, well fashion, but there's much more to chic design that just clothes. Also showing at the event, which kicks of this Thursday, is the Toyota i-REAL, a personal mobility vehicle that allows you to go wherever and whenever you want. The electric-powered vehicle, which has been designed for use by adults, has three wheels, which allows it to manoeuvre at eye-level in walking mode. The wheelbase lengthens to provide a lower centre of gravity at cruising speed for better driving. First introduced at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, the vehicle has inspired Thai designers like Kunitar & 8E88 in creating unique collections for the fashion week.
