About this episode

In this episode we’re talking juicy Japanese concept cars. Tom Ford has been out in Japan looking at the latest metal from Nissan, Mazda, Toyota and Lexus. Will Nissan blink and retreat to the safety of hybrid for the next GT-R, or go all out on the electrons? Will Toyota tone down the FT-Se’s Transformers styling? Will Mazda manage to get snake hips into production and can the LFA distil driving pleasure without a psychotic V10? No idea, that’s why Jack Rix, Rowan Horncastle and Ollie Kew are grilling a jetlagged Tom Ford for your benefit. Enjoy!
