SUPER CAR

MV Forged×INOZETEK

Congratulations on winning the Import Car Division of the Tokyo International Custom Car Contest!

The Revuelto, which is still rarely seen in person, has suddenly undergone a bold makeover. The navy body, clad in the limited-edition color “DPPF-SQ102NV,” a collaboration between wrapping film manufacturer Inozetec and apparel brands SEQUEL and FRAGMENT, has been the talk of the town for many visitors. SQ Black is also available in limited quantities. The wheels are mounted on MV Forged wheels, but the style is also enhanced by the different models (HS20F/HS20) used on the front and rear.

BC Forged×INOZETEK

The atmosphere was completely transformed by the full wrapping.

Who would believe that this Huracan STO was originally yellow? However, after being fully wrapped using Inoztec’s Super Gloss Film, it has taken on a Tiffany Blue hue, as you can see here. To be precise, the color is called Emerald Wave. Bond Body’s high level of technical skill is evident in the beautiful wrapping, even down to the back of the doors and the aero joints. To match, the wheels are BC Forged LE91s, in a clean white finish.

TOYO TIRES

The power of monster drift machines

The McLaren P1 GTR appeared in a custom design for charismatic drifter Mad Mike. Fitted with Proxes R888R Drift tires designed for drift competitions, it exuded an aura of power. The V8 twin-turbo engine had been replaced with a three-rotor engine, producing approximately 1000 PS. Many events were held, including autograph sessions with Masato Kawabata and Mad Mike, and an outdoor drift demo run, making for a huge success throughout the day.

LOTUS

The latest Lotus model comes in a variety of colors

Lotus, which has shifted its focus to electrification, exhibited two cars, the Elettre S and the Emeya S. The SUV-type Emeya has a chic black body with gold accents, reminiscent of the Type 79, which competed in F1. In contrast, the Emeya has a hand-painted gradation of pink on the front half and orange on the back half, inspired by the dahlias and roses that bloom in Colin Chapman’s garden. The purple interior is also unique.

TWS

The Ferrari Festival added a touch of glamour to the venue

The TWS booth was a Ferrari fest, with the 296 GT3 machine, the 812 Competizione A, and the Prosangue. Among them, the Prosangue was fitted with new wheels. Called the Exlete 109M Monoblock, it is the first in the series to feature a 9-intersection mesh. While 20- and 21-inch wheels have been confirmed for commercial release, the Prosangue was fitted with 22-inch wheels in the front and 23-inch wheels in the rear as a reference exhibit.

MANSORY

Complete collection of top-of-the-line Mansory

Both this Phantom 8 Series 2 and Range Rover SV are complete cars fitted with Mansory body kits. The Bond Group brings in Mansory every year, and each one exudes an overwhelming aura. Mansory adds an even more gorgeous and sporty touch to the original ultra-high-end car, and what’s more, it can be completely custom-made to suit the customer’s preferences, which is also something not to be missed. A production system has also been established here in Japan.

ALPINE

“OZ x Alpine” collaboration

This year, Renault Alpine was all about Alpine, with three A110s on display: the A110 R Turini, the A110 GT, and the A110 R, which won the PE1 class of the JAF All Japan Gymkhana Championship. The A110 R Turini was fitted with the “OZ Extrema Forgiata Alpine A110” forged wheels developed for the A110 by Italian wheel manufacturer OZ. These optional wheels will be available for sale at authorized dealers.

Roncraft/stompin’ark

Color protection for a more prestigious McLaren

Loncraft, which gathers information from around the world and uses its excellent setting techniques to decorate cars, has recently been focusing on color protection film. This 720S Spider is fitted with an ivory-like color called Swiss Coffee. It matches perfectly with the brown leather interior and exudes a sense of style. The car is also fitted with New Trail’s new FDX, a color that matches perfectly with the texture of the brushed clear finish.

AL13

The art of customization with a twist

The five-spoke wheels, with their beautiful flowing lines, are the latest model, the R190, which was just unveiled at SEMA last year. The finish is a unique combination of polished top and brushed sides, creating a unique finish. The Pro Sangue, which has just started to be delivered in Japan, has been given a rare custom treatment of lowering and increasing the wheel size, which is perfectly matched by the impressive large diameter wheels, 23 inches in the front and 24 inches in the rear.

HRE

The only wheel in the world is here

The impressive Cullinan Series II Black Badge is fitted with the highly popular Vintage Series (24-inch) wheels. The key feature is that the center caps are the first floating type for HRE three-piece wheels. These were custom-made to order by Yohei Iimura of the Bond Group, and there is currently only one set in existence in the world. This has led to the decision to add them to the lineup in the future. One of HRE’s attractions is their flexibility in incorporating customer feedback.

CATERHAM

Project V’s maturity raises expectations for its release

The primitive Seven 170R is lined up alongside Caterham’s futuristic EV lightweight sports car, Project V. The front car is equipped with a Suzuki kei car engine (658cc turbo), while the rear car is a BEV with a 272 PS motor and a 55 kWh battery. The immersion-cooled battery is supplied by Taiwan’s XING Mobility, and the E-Axle is supplied by Yamaha. Tokyo R&D is in charge of the prototype. In this way, Japanese technology is put to good use in this British-made lightweight sports car.

MCC-Comlete/Next Innovation

BC Forged gives it a unique charm

A Ferrari F40 and an Aston Martin DBS. Just seeing these two cars side by side makes a strong impact. Both were placed at the MCC Complete booth and fitted with Next Innovation lip spoilers, with the undercarriage coordinated with BC Forged. The wheels were selected to reflect the worldview of the cars, giving a sense of the depth of BC Forged. This modification made use of the appeal of BC Forged, which is gradually transitioning into a high-end brand.

NOVITEC

Aiming for the ultimate in super sports

Every year, Novitec Group Japan exhibits over a billion yen worth of exclusive, world-class complete cars. This year was no exception. Three Ferraris were on display: the 812GTS N-Largo, the SF90 Complete Carbon, and the F8 Spider. The 812GTS N-Largo in particular is a limited edition car, with only one in the world, and only 15 F8 Spiders. In recent years, Novitec has been known for producing very small numbers of complete cars in limited quantities. With strong ties to Japan, many of these cars are introduced here.

Liberty Walk

The Liberty Festival is alive and well this year!

Every year, the vehicle exhibits and merchandise booths are always surrounded by crowds and queues, creating a festive atmosphere. This year, Liberty Walk was once again filled with excitement. The highlight of the year was the Miura, which was unveiled during the event. Liberty Walk made bold modifications to this supercar of great historical value. Rather than the usual screw-on fenders, the body cowling was apparently made from scratch. Also on display was an R32 Skyline customized in the style of a highway racer.

LEAP DESIGN

Paint your GranTurismo to your liking

Leap Design, which provides body parts for all modern Maseratis, has now completed a complete car for the second-generation GranTurismo, which just began deliveries at the end of 2023. The menu includes a front spoiler, side steps, a rear under spoiler, and a trunk spoiler. Hyperforged, with which the company has had a long-standing partnership, provides the suspension. The wheels are fitted with ESR wheels measuring 10.0J x 21 inches in the front and 12.0J x 22 inches in the rear.

BRIDGESTONE

Japanese run-flat technology supports the new generation of fierce bulls

The Bridgestone booth, which promoted motorsports activities while also expressing its passion for supporting a sustainable mobility society, featured the Temerario. This is a Lamborghini PHV that followed the Revuelto. This is because the Potenza Sport, which features run-flat technology, is the only genuine approved tire for the vehicle. The sizes are 255/35ZRF20 in the front and 325/30ZRF21 in the rear. The booth also offered a chance to look back on the history of the Potenza, with the Temerario as a symbolic presence.

SOFT 99

The classic Testarossa is brought back to life like new

Soft99, a leading manufacturer of car care products, once again promoted the appeal of “G’ZOX,” which is applied by professional car detailers. In addition to their existing lineup, they exhibited prototypes of the unreleased “Unpainted Resin Coat II” and the “Super Hard Glass Coat for Motorcycles,” which is scheduled for release this spring. A Testarossa was unveiled as a symbolic display to highlight the effectiveness of these products. This coating is an attractive option for neo-historic cars that continue to fight against aging.

ROBERUTA

It’s now a supercar museum!

It’s rare enough to see just two GTs, the Carrera GT and the Diablo GT, gathered together, but the SF90 XX tops it all off. Such a luxurious lineup is only possible with Roberta, which has supplied lifter systems to numerous super sports cars and has earned the immense trust of all users. Of course, all three cars are equipped with lifter systems, which automatically raise and lower the vehicle height. The SF90 XX, which was the first XX model to be legally road-legal, is particularly compatible with the lifter system.

AZZURRE MOTORING

Reaffirming American muscle

Azur Motoring, which handles high-end cars from all over the world and decorates them with a unique sense of style, promoted American cars this year, as if to celebrate its roots. Two Challengers were lined up, one in gray and one in green. Azur’s original ZERO design body kit and Sky Forged wheels blended into the retro-modern design. This American muscle car exuded a unique appeal in a high-end car world dominated by European cars.

KW Automotive

Customize your supercar to your liking

KW Automotive Japan’s booth was clean and had a unified CI, and inside it was the Huracan. It was equipped with the V5, the pinnacle of street performance suspension. The rebound and compression damping force can be adjusted separately, giving a sense of KW’s commitment to super sports cars, including the Huracan. Of course, the know-how cultivated in GT race cars from around the world was directly incorporated into the design.

FIREBALL

Korean-born car cosmetics

Fireball is an up-and-coming car care brand born in Korea and now sold in 18 countries around the world. Their car shampoos and coatings, which are easy for users to use themselves, have also become popular in Japan. In addition to their lineup, the Revuelto, which features the iconic logo, was also on display. Matte black super sports cars are some of the most difficult to care for. However, Fireball’s lineup still includes products that are worthy of the brand.

SPHERE LIGHT

Orochi’s dazzling light illuminates the future

It’s a tradition for Sphere Light to bring in the Orochi every year to promote their products. However, they are particular about changing the color scheme and specifications every year. This year, the base was matte black with vibrant lines added to the edges, and they even had a dollar bill pattern applied to the original full wrapping. They are a brand that deals in lighting such as HID and LED, and the dazzling lights scattered around the booth and the eerie power of the Orochi matched perfectly.

CPJ

Infusion Molded Full Carbon Corvette

This Corvette has been given a carbon body using infusion molding, a process first put into practical use in the automotive industry by Kodama Fiberworks. Compared to the traditional hand layup method, this allows for an ideal carbon content, resulting in a high-strength product comparable to or even surpassing dry carbon, which requires a large-scale autoclave. This car is the beloved car of the company’s president, Satoru Kodama, and is the culmination of his tireless efforts, which included forgetting to eat and sleep as he worked on it.

Bon Racing

The Lotus Esprit becomes a true super sports car

Like the Corvette above, Bon Racing’s Esprit is also fully carbon fiber. The body is said to be manufactured in-house using semi-dry carbon fiber, and the linear design is further accentuated by the carbon fiber. Bon Racing’s original springs are incorporated into the suspension, and the exhaust system is also original. As the Esprit is becoming increasingly rare, people all over the world were amazed by this body. Bon Racing also produces carbon fiber parts for classic Minis.
