The surprise hit of this year's Tokyo show undoubtedly was the VW EcoRacer, a petite sports coupe/convertible with removable roof panels, a speedster-style windshield and a two-seat cockpit. The EcoRacer sports a carbon-fiber body and a midship engine that allows it to acceleration to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and to a top speed of about 138 mph. The 1870-pound vehicle is powered by a 1.5-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder mated to a DSG gearbox. The EcoRacer's body has T-top panels that tilt up when the doors are opened for easy access; the panels and the T-bar roof can be completely removed and the windshield can be swapped out for the speedster-style screen for the ultimate wind-and-bugs sensation of speed. The EcoRacer's rear hatch can be removed as well-leaving the EcoRacer capable of convertible from coupe to roadster to speedster with a minimum of effort. Dramatic touches include 17-inch alloy wheels and LED lighting.
