As one of the world's three major modified car shows, the Tokyo Modified Car Show attracts the attention of many modified car fans. A few days ago, the 2022 Tokyo Modification Auto Show was officially opened, and many car companies brought their latest modification works. Brother Reel found that in addition to basic operations such as adding kits and changing postures, this year's Tokyo Modified Auto Show also featured elements rarely seen at previous auto shows, especially Japanese brands that fought at home.
Toyota: "Dynamic World"
At this Tokyo Modified Auto Show, Toyota's modified models pay more attention to the creation of a sense of sport, and its GR department can be described as a lot of effort, such as Toyota bZ4X GR Sport concept car, GRMN YARiS and GR GT3 concept car and so on.
The Toyota bZ4X GR Sport concept is based on the bZ4X, with the addition of a number of GR sports kits, such as more aggressive black sports wheels and red brake calipers, and the front of the car has the exclusive logo of the GR family. In addition, the design of the car is very close to the production version. It is reported that the car is equipped with sports wide tires, matte paint, and the car is also equipped with sports seats.
Toyota GRMN YARiS officially debuted at this year's modified auto show. The car is an upgraded version of the GR YARiS, with a more exaggerated aerodynamic kit last time, and three model versions are available, although the powertrain is no different from the GR YARiS, but the official said that the new car is further tuned for the chassis. It is reported that the starting price of the new car is 7,317,000 yen (about 407,000 yuan), and consumers need to draw the number to qualify for the purchase of these 500 limited edition models, and the new car is expected to start mass production and delivery in July this year.
Toyota also released the GR GT3 concept car, which has a very stretched body posture, a long front end, and the vents on the front face and the spoiler at the rear have the shadow of the GT3. In terms of power, the new car may be equipped with a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine.
Lexus: Off-road flavor is strong
Similarly, Lexus also has three models worth seeing, namely the Lexus LX600 OFFROAD JAOS edition, the Lexus NX PHEV OFFROAD concept car and the Lexus ROV concept car.
As can be seen from the name of the car, the three Models of Lexus are mainly off-road styles, especially the Lexus LX600 OFFROAD JAOS Version, which adds a lot of off-road kits on the basis of the ordinary version of the Lexus LX600, such as all-terrain tires, silver skid plates at the front surround and so on. In terms of power, the car will be equipped with a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine, and the drivetrain is matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission, which is very powerful. In addition, the positioning of the new car is off-road, and its suspension strength is expected to be stronger than that of the ordinary version.
Lexus NX PHEV OFFROAD concept car is based on NX 450+, we can see that the new car uses a unique bronze matte color scheme, AT tires are very exaggerated, the roof of the luggage rack design and the placement rack equipped to make the whole car more outdoor travel taste. The Lexus ROV concept car next to it, which adopts a UTV-like model shape, is positioned as a recreational off-road vehicle, and will use a 1.0L three-cylinder hydrogen fuel engine in terms of power.
Honda: The modding elements are rich enough
Honda's modified car highlights are more than Toyota and Lexus, whether it is performance wind, retro wind, new energy wind or special edition, Honda booth has a corresponding modified car debut.
Honda Fit playability is very high, many fans also like to use it to modify, at this year's modification show, Honda unveiled the Fit e: HEV CROSSTAR customized version of the model. It can be seen that this modified car uses a unique body color scheme. The addition of higher ground clearance, AT tires and kits also makes the vehicle feel more off-road. It should be known that the overseas version of Fit e:HEV is equipped with a power system composed of a 1.5L displacement fuel engine and two motors, and the maximum power of the system can reach 109Ps.
In addition, Honda's Binzhi e:HEV Modulo X officially debuted. Modulo is Honda's royal modification provider, primarily an upgrade kit that provides exteriors for Honda's models. As you can see, the front face of this model adopts a more aggressive color scheme, and the shape of the wheel hub is also very combative.
What is more surprising is that the new generation of Civic TYPE R prototype also ushered in the debut. The lines of the whole vehicle are covered, but we can see that the front grille of the new car adopts a honeycomb mesh design, the front surround of the heat dissipation port area is larger, the size of the brake disc and the size of the five-spoke wheel hub are more obvious, it is reported that the body wheelbase of the new car has also increased, the rear of the car has adopted a more exaggerated spoiler and diffuser, the exhaust layout is a mid-three-out design, and it is expected that the handling performance of the vehicle will be qualitatively improved.
In addition to these three models, Honda also unveiled the N-BOX Custom STYLE+ BLACK Special Edition, the N-WGN PICNIC and the all-new STEP WGN. These three models are all designed with classic square boxes, which are more in line with the needs of the local market.
Nissan: A tribute to the classics
Nissan has three models worth noting, namely the new Nissan Z special model, the new Nissan Z GT500 racing car and the Nissan Jinke Special Edition.
The new Nissan Z special customized model was officially unveiled, and the orange body color scheme was very eye-catching, paying tribute to the Fairlady Z432R model, and the roof, rear and side skirts were painted in black for more visual impact. A large number of sports kits are used in the whole vehicle, and it is reported that these kits will be available for consumers to purchase as an official modification scheme.
The new Nissan Z GT500 is Nissan's new Super GT Series race car, which will replace the Nissan GT-R GT500 as the brand's official race car for the 2022 Super GT race. Leaving aside its exaggerated body shape, just look at the powertrain. According to the requirements of the race, the car must use a single-turbocharger 2.0T four-cylinder engine, but after tuning, the maximum power of the engine can reach 650Ps.
This Jinke Special Edition is a model jointly created by Nissan and the American outdoor brand, limited to 500 vehicles. Compared with the ordinary version of the model, the biggest highlight of the new car is the use of khaki green, which is commonly used in outdoor clothing, and also adds blue elements and brand nameplate embellishments.
