2014 Tokyo Autosalon

It is Autosalon season again and this year the show is as big as last year's! so many crazy tuned cars and so many bodykits on display. The show organizers did cut back on the number of Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ on display. A better variety of cars were on display with some serious bizarre looking vehicles which look totally unrecognizable.
As usual there were plenty of girls to grace the cars and also big collection of new wheels on display with a massive 32" set of wheels put on a Lexus GS model. Some of the cars were wrapped in extreme graphics and new textured wraps. It is amazing to see how creative some of the tuners get when they have unlimited budgets.

The up and coming tuner, Liberty Walk was on display with their ultra wide body Ferrari 458 and several other models. Subaru took the chance to display their new upcoming Levorg model which is similar to the upcoming WRX wagon. Not sure if Levorg is the name that will be used in Japan only but the car looks good nevertheless. It is definitely a big improvement over the previous Subaru models. Nissan also took the chance to display their new X-Trail and Skyline which also looks much better than previous models.

There were also American muscle cars on display such as the Hennessey Corvette C7 and the HRE Ford GT. Over the 3 days, the Autosalon easily attracted over 250,000 visitors cover all 11 halls. The show's support came from car makers which now recognize the Autosalon as a major automotive show that they cannot miss.

Many tuning companies and parts suppliers also displayed their product for all to see. Racing teams also took the opportunity to show their race cars for 2014.
