Isuzu Kai

This Judge Dredd wannabe is the Isuzu Kai concept. In the past, many Japanese motor manufacturers have been criticised for apeing their European counterparts, so it would seem that Isuzu have taken note of this and come up with the Kai: a concept that is purely Japanese.

This unique 4 wheel drive offroader takes many styling cues from Japanese culture: the radiator grill design alludes to a Shinto temple gateway, the seat patterns are inspired by Samurai armour. Other such references include small square windows in the sun roof reminiscent of the Shoji screens found in Japanes houses and natural grain leather as a nod to the Japanese respect for natural materials and harmony with the environment.
