We teased a web site ‘refresh’ a couple of days in the past, and though we all know that the upcoming redesign will not be for everybody, it is all a part of an even bigger plan. This replace serves an essential function when we’ve to a acceptable CMS and implement further options in the course of the 12 months.

Then, within the following days, Nissan opened the doorways of their Zama Heritage assortment for a particular viewing.

As for Tas itself, you’ve got seen a lot of the heavy hits from 2025, together with the Liberty Stroll Miura and the Kaido Racer-Type R32 Skyline. Toby gave us the complete kei The remedy of automotive wadness, and we even bought a glimpse of a wild Toyota sera challenge -which packs each a turbo SR20 fats and a turbo k20a, no much less. Alec additionally sanded the Makuhari Knives car parking zone, as a result of let’s examine, somebody who’s heading to Tokyo Auto Salon is simply as obsessive about vehicles as we do.

One factor we did not cowl in our first occasion report was a automotive that lit the feedback part: Rocket Bunny’s Lotus Elise.
