Photos: Hot, quirky and green at Tokyo auto show

Some 77 new cars will make their world debut at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007, which opens to the public Saturday and runs through November 11. A total of 542 vehicles, including 54 motorcycles, will be on display, according to the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.

While a few very hot sports cars debuted at the press previews, the majority were quirky environmental options and high-tech concepts.

Nissan released its much-anticipated GT-R sports car on Wednesday. The supercar has a 3.8-liter twin turbo V-6 engine capable of up to 480 horsepower. It can go from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and has a maximum speed of about 193 mph.
