Akio Toyoda & Lexus Chief Engineers Surprise Guests at Cars & Coffee Event in Japan

Kevin April 28th, 2015

Attendees of a cars & coffee-style event in Japan had a memorable experience when Toyota president Akio Toyota and the chief engineers for the Lexus RC, RC F, and LFA all showed up — here’s a translated quote from Japanese website Response:

This was supported by Lexus, and they displayed their latest sports vehicles, such as the LFA, the RC, the RC F, and others. Each of its developers also attended and showed their vehicle’s mechanisms, as well as scenes during development. You could speak directly with the development chief in front of the actual vehicle rather than in a talk show. Attendees and chief developers were enjoying the friendly car lecture.

In addition, Toyota President Akio Toyoda also made a surprise appearance. President Akio brought a camera, personally took pictures of the vehicles, and walked around.

This all happened at The Morning Cruise, a semi-regular event held at the Daikanyama Tsutaya bookstore in Tokyo — here are some photos:
