Nagoya initially of Could can solely imply one factor within the Speedhunting world – Wekfest Japan.
Since its introduction in Japan, Wekfest has finest represented the most recent styling traits in real-world Japanese automobile tradition, with a heavy bias to stance.
The present has turn out to be the place for a lot of automobile builders to debut their newest tasks, and due to this, the assortment is at all times contemporary.
Certain, there are at all times previously-seen builds, however typically these vehicles have been up to date with new modifications or refined and perfected.
However there may be a lot new stuff that it’s virtually overwhelming.
Right here’s a very good instance. Automobile Store Glow confirmed off this ultra-wide Tremendous GT race automobile for the road, full with a extremely modified engine and sequential transmission.
As I at all times do with large exhibits, I’ve gone photo-heavy with my Wekfest Japan 2024 protection. I needed to although; there was simply a lot to see.
That included a 25-car-strong exhibiting from Moontech.
They introduced out the Stay To Offend BMW E36 construct together with…
…a GT3 R35 Nissan GT-R and this well-known BCNR33 Skyline GT-R sporting Air Carry Efficiency suspension and new RAYS Volk Racing 21Cs with bronze facilities.
Not too distant, I discovered the Belief BNR34 Skyline GT-R on bronze-centered Volk Racing 21As.
It was JDM overload – in the absolute best manner.
One of the best factor about Wekfest Japan is the variability.
You may have all of it, VIP to kyusha, imports and SUVs, gems from the ’80s and ’90s, modified Hondas, ridiculously highly effective GT-Rs, drift vehicles and extra.
Every thing at Wekfest is introduced collectively by stance – until you’re going off-roading.
I’ve tried to carry some order to my protection so you’ve got a greater understanding of the alternatives on show on the Port Messe Nagoya venue.
Just like the VW part.
There was a lot to see from the ’90s and early 2000s JDM golden period.
There ought to be loads to encourage you.
Particularly for the Honda followers.
Saying the choice was huge can be an understatement.
And on high of some older stuff…
…there was an overload of DC2s and EGs of each physique kind.
I really like how folks constantly innovate and attempt to carry new appears that could not have been tried in Japan earlier than.
Most sub-cultures had been represented, together with a few killer VIP builds. Doesn’t this Crown Athlete remind you of a Bee Dragon construct?
Whereas manufacturers like Liberty Stroll try to create probably the most visually aggressive vehicles…
…you must love extra easy takes, too. Customized-built BBS wheels are the go-to selection for lots of the vehicles on this 964 lineup.
However over at Madlane, there was one thing else attracting consideration. Effectively, a number of issues.
First, their new white-on-white 964, which options Madlane’s personal wheel design. Whereas the inside has been half-stripped and handled to a seat improve, the outside is OEM+ at its finest. On this case, the ‘+’ refers back to the RS entrance bumper intakes, the one alteration.
Secondly, that they had their drool-worthy Ferrari 512TR on the present. However it was Madlane’s different 911 construct that introduced the crowds in.
Using on center-lock BBS race wheels, the outside of this 930 Turbo flatnose is fairly untouched. It’s the inside that Madlane has gone to city on.
Simply eight Tommykaira M19s had been ever constructed, so it was wonderful to see two of them collectively.
TE37s on a Lancia Delta Integrale? Sure please!
The Low Mind E46 M3 was wanting sharp on a set of TE37 Sagas.
I hope this gallery put up has given you a very good style of what Wekfest Japan 2024 was all about. Tell us of any vehicles from the present that you simply’d prefer to see featured sooner or later.
