Toyota has flipped the script at the Tokyo Motor Show this year. Instead of the static display you'd expect to see from most automakers at a major auto show, the Japanese giant rolled out a full-on "Mobility Theme Park," packed with all sorts of interactive innovations. And the part that's caught our attention the most is the E-Racer.

Bridging the gap between a car and an amusement-park ride, the Toyota E-Racer concept embraces augmented reality to (at least theoretically) transform the road into whatever environment is selected. Which sounds hazardously distracting, but also potentially a lot of fun.

The daily commute too boring? Hop in, put on the goggles, and the world around you can change virtually into a race track, an underwater tunnel, or a futuristic city scape. The concept also calls for a 3D-printed racing suit and a molded seat made to fit the driver's posterior exactly. Just like a pro racing driver, only, you know... more futuristic.

More than that, about the E-Racer, we couldn't tell you. We get the feeling it doesn't actually have any real specifications to detail, anyway. But the design looks cool – somewhere between a BAC Mono and something you'd expect to see in "Tron."

The driver sits in the middle and at the center-line of a cockpit that's entirely open save for a roll hoop extending from the quarter panels, with space for another passenger behind in a tandem setup and another screen mounted above on the back of the hoop. The steering wheel looks more like a video-game controller – a similarity which may be no coincidence, and the oversized outboard wheels are enveloped in close-fitting fenders, with thin light strips mounted fore and aft surrounding ground-effect aero elements. Shame it's only a concept, because it looks like something we'd really enjoy driving – and likely crashing.
