Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 starts Friday Jan 9th and goes until Sunday Jan 11th at the Makuhari Messe which is a convention centre in Japan located in the western region of Chiba Prefecture which is very close to Tokyo, Japan.
WALD modified cars at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2010. Black Bison Nissan GT-R, Black Bison E-Class Wagon and Sedan, BMW 5 Series Tourer, Lexus RX Sports Line Black Bison, Lexus LS Executive Line, Toyota Land Cruiser Black Bison.
This post is kind of a big deal because this event marks my 2nd year in a row attending the Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 (Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 Review) and because this post is CarZi.com’s 1000th post!!
This is the 2nd installment of many more to come from my Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 Girls series. There were so many of these car models which are actually called “Race Queens” by those in the modified auto mecca of Japan.
Toyota is coming out with a special offering of personalization and tuning options known as their G Sports Series. The first two cars available in the US with this treatment will be the FT-86 and the Prius.
Here is my 3rd and final Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 Girls post. In case you have been sleeping under a rock you can find my previous two posts here: Tokyo Auto Salon Girls Post 1 , Tokyo Auto Salon Girls Post 2 .
Well it’s about time!!! Early this morning in Tokyo, Nissan dropped the press bomb release which include these photos of their $160,000 USD Nissan GT-R Spec V!!
The GT-R Spec V exterior features a carbon fiber rear spoiler, fiber grille, carbon fiber brake ducts, carbon fiber insets on rear center storage box and instrument panel. It will be available exclusively in Ultimate Black Opal color.
This Honda S2000 Sports Modulo concept will be on display at this week’s upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon 2009. Not sure what I ultimately think about the look of body kit on this S2000 concept so I will reserve judgment until I see it in person later this week.
Here are some pictures I took of Ricky Chiba's house just outside Tokyo Japan. Ricky is the founder of Team Taison. You can read more about Ricky and my visit to his house which showcases his championship cars.
In addition to the cool Lamborghini Murcielago ATV 4×4 I saw at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 (REVIEW) (PICTURES), I also saw this interesting and slick looking Ferrari Suzuzi 1300 Hyabusa Trike! The information sheet is included below, but my Japanese reading skills are a little rusty!
Well the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 has come and gone and it completely blew my expectations of the show and trip out of the water. It was 100% worth the 12 hour flight :) In addition to the 6000+ photos I took (I will be adding a daily dose on MadWhips) of more than 500 rediculously awesome modified cars, I also had the pleasure of meeting some awesome people in the industry!
The recently completed Zele Nissan GT-R Complete Edition at the Tokyo Auto Show 2009. The Zele GT-R pumps out more than 550hp and only 8 will be made costing $208,000 USD.
The MCR Modified Nissan 370Z will get a NISMO aero-package including front and rear spoilers, side skirts and a rear wing. I will take multiple photos of the sexy lightweight Enkei allow wheels wrapped in Yokohama rubbers, sport suspension, lightweight sport exhaust system and the monstrous ENDLESS Racing CALIPER BRAKES upgrade.
