TOKYO AUTO SALON 2025

Annual custom car festival

Last year's situation — Last year’s situation

This year’s Tokyo Auto Salon will feature 388 exhibitors and 851 vehicles on display (as of December 10th). This will provide a great opportunity to experience the latest customization technologies and trends. In addition to the vehicle exhibits, there will be plenty of content with participation from industry-leading companies and artists. The content is sure to meet visitor expectations and is sure to be even more exciting than previous years.

One particularly noteworthy program is the “auto sport 60th Anniversary & as-web 20th Anniversary Honda F1 Run” to be held at the outdoor venue. This special event will take place on Saturday the 11th, and will feature two historic F1 cars: the Honda RA272 and the McLaren Honda MP4/5. The Honda RA272 is the memorable vehicle that brought Honda its first F1 victory in 1965, and on the day, Takuma Sato will be behind the wheel to demonstrate the car.

Meanwhile, the McLaren Honda MP4/5 is a legendary car that won 10 out of 16 races in the 1989 F1 World Championship, taking both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles. The engine of this car will be started, allowing visitors to experience the rare engine sound up close. Please note that the F1 car run may be canceled in the event of rain, so please check the official website for details.
