已译Tokyo 2007 Preview: Yamaha Tesseract concept
And now for something completely different. Yamaha has just announced that it will be bringing a bevy of new motorcycle and scooter models to the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show. One of the more interesting concepts, which we'll roughly refer to as a motorcycle, is the Tesseract. Piaggio has a success on their hands in the form of the MP3, which is capable of leaning into turns despite the third wheel. Yamaha has one-upped that with its Tesseract, though, by adding yet one more whee,l bringing the total count to four. And yet, nobody would confuse this machine with a car!

Again, following Piaggio's lead with its impending hybrid MP3, Yamaha has made this concept a hybrid, boasting both a V-Twin engine of undisclosed size along with an electric motor. Yamaha claims that the machine is about the same width as a standard motorcycle, meaning lane-splitting could feasibly remain an option and parking shouldn't be too difficult. The Tesseract has also been equipped with a mechanism to keep the machine upright when stopped or when parked, once again, like the MP3. As for the styling? It's, uh... different! Imagine a Transformer half transformed and you'll be pretty darn close. And we love it!

0 h8 G, ~$ m8 ~" P' Z/ T现在带来一些完全不同的东西。雅马哈刚刚宣布它将携一批新摩托车型参加东京车展。其中最有意思的概念车Tesseract甚至不能称之为摩托车。比亚乔的MP3车型以具备转向学习能力而取得了成功。雅马哈的Tesseract通过加一个车轮，使车轮数达到四个。当然，没有人把这个机器和汽车混淆。

在比亚乔即将上市混合动力MP3的指引下，雅马哈制作了这个概念车，它是搭载未公开排量的V双发动机的混合动力车型，另外还有一个电动版。雅马哈声称改型机器拥有标准型摩托车同样的宽度，意味着现有车道不必重新划分，停车也不是很困难。Tesseract通过一个机械装置，使它像MP3一样，在刹车和停车时保持垂直。至于它的样式，嗯...很不同！想象一下变形中的变形金刚，你就知道了。我们很欣赏它！
