Manga Master Akira Toriyama’s Art Appreciation: Do you remember these classic vehicles?

Akira Toriyama , a famous Japanese manga artist, his famous work "Alale" and his masterpiece "Dragon Ball" are extremely popular all over the world. These two cartoons have also become a large number of childhood memories of China after the 1980s. To this day, the influence of " Dragon Ball " is still hot, and it can be called an evergreen tree.

Toriyama Akira's father had participated in some motorcycle competitions. In the early years, Toriyama Akira was influenced by his father and began to prefer various mechanical vehicles. After becoming a manga artist, Toriyama opened his mind and used his outstanding drawing skills to depict various classic cars for us. Some of these cars exist in reality, and some are imagined.

sidecar motorcycle

Sidecar motorcycle is also called three-wheeled motorcycle. It was born in the 1820s. It was popular in during World War II and played a role in war traffic and other fields. Very important role.

There are still a large number of sidecars in my country in the 1990s. I believe that many people born in the seventies and eighties have deep memories of this kind of motorcycles. However, with the improvement of people's living standards, small cars have begun to enter ordinary families, and sidecar tricycles that have been riding for many years have gradually faded out of people's vision. Nowadays, this kind of tricycle on the street can be said to be extinct Sports car, this car is small and cute, very lovable.

In the comics,The Toyota described by Akira Toriyama is also sleek and compact.

Jaguar MK II

Jaguar MK2 was born in the 1950s. From the outside, it is very aristocratic. The interior of is also extremely luxurious. This classic shape made it "starred" in "Dragon Ball" and was once mistaken for Bentley. The sleek body shape and waistline also make it securely awarded the title of "the easiest Jaguar car".

Among Jaguar's top ten models, the MK-II also lived up to expectations and ranked fifth.

The old bird continued his exaggerated deformation in "Dragon Ball". The huge body of No. 16 can't directly break through the roof of the Jaguar car. The weight of a cyborg!

In addition to some vehicles that are magically modified according to the classic models in reality, Toriyama has also designed some very interesting transportation vehicles.

Variable fighter vehicle

This is the exclusive car of and Bulma . It is not shown in the main part of the manga too much, and many readers also pass by it. But this motorcycle is still worth seeing.

Bandai once produced an assembled model of this locomotive, which fully demonstrated the powerful functions of this fighter vehicle. In addition to the ordinary motorcycle form, it can also transform the robot form and the tricycle form. Still very cool.

Magnetic levitation fighter vehicle

There are also two machine guns on the front end. Although magnetic levitation technology has long been mastered, the current technology cannot be widely used in civilian applications. This type of transportation has not yet appeared, but I believe that in time, the maglev car should also be able to enter the public's field of vision.
