This is sort of like a real life Transformer, except instead of turning into a gigantic laser wielding robot of destructive power, this Toyota van's cube cabin mechanically converts into a miniature, but fully decked out house on wheels at the touch of a button! Handmade over two years, this mobile home is a technological wonder in the spirit of the Japanese proficiency for optimizing space to the fullest...

The Japanese Nostalgic Car blog gives us details about the Toyota Toyoace which was transformed over two years, four wheel accomodations that change literally into a house on wheels, complete with miniaturized kitchen, bathroom, living space and even a deck. All it takes is the push of a button to expand the truck out into it's transformed mode, with a beautiful second story Japanese style tatami sleeping space up top. Amazing.
