Check out these adorable Lamborghini Murcielago ATVs.

These little Lambo-bodied ATVs are marketed to the more-money-than-brains crowd, but they sure do make us giggle. They were created by Liberty Walk of Japanese Lamborghini tuning fame to match a couple of the cars they had on display at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon. Little else is known about them, but we're sure they'll end up in some rap video sooner than later.

<![CDATA[Toyota Corolla Axio Super GT300 Unveiled At Tokyo Auto Salon]]> Our friends at NihonCar have found one of the coolest unveils to come out of the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon. It's a Toyota Corolla transformed into a fire-breathing Super GT300 race car.

The car is set to run in the no-holds-barred race series which has evolved from the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship, but it's nowhere near stock. The body is chopped down to a sliver and set on top of a full tube frame chassis, race suspension, all motivated by a 295 HP 3.5-liter V6 and a sequential race transmission. The whole package weighs in at a scant 2,425 lbs. More importantly though, The Corolla Axio GT300 might be the first Corolla we'd consider an exciting drive since the 2001 Corolla S.

<![CDATA[Honda Sport Modulo S2000, Fit Concept Cars Heading To 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon]]> As we get ready for the Detroit Auto Show, Japan's getting ready for their annual Tokyo Auto Salon. Think of it as our SEMA show, but on crack and with lots of cute umbrella girls.

Honda is bringing a number of concepts to the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon; its most important being the tuner-like Sport Modulo S2000 and the Sport Modulo Fit. Both cars feature an interesting, yet aggressive front fascia with integrated LED lighting. The interior of both cars will carry the theme by adding unique fabrics and color schemes not found on the production versions. Honda is also showing a number of other cars including the Racing Modulo Civic Type R, Crossroad, Accord, Odyssey and a bedazzled and bejeweled Life. Honda will also show a full range of Modulo styling equipment, audio, navigation systems and accessories.

It’s likely that Honda will release more information on their concepts once the Tokyo Auto Salon begins on January 9, but until then enjoy our gallery below.
