The SEMA Show is tapping into the popularity of Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars with the introduction of the JDM Showcase, located in Central Hall booth #22751.
The popularity of JDM models in the United States continues to surge as enthusiasts increasingly appreciate the design, performance and heritage of Made-in-Japan models. Many JDM models--some of which will be on display at the Show--have become highly sought-after for their robust engines, sleek aesthetics and potential for modifications. Influenced by Japan's rich street racing and motorsports culture, JDM cars have achieved legendary status, driving demand at auctions, car meets and automotive events, where their rarity and distinct style make them standout icons.
This year at the SEMA Show JDM Showcase, four companies are showcasing six vehicles straight from Japan. Leading the lineup is KUHL Racing, renowned for their past presence at the Tokyo Auto Salon, showing a Toyota (A90) Supra equipped with their latest Super Overfender Kit. And representing hybrids, KUHL Racing will also bring a sleek, slammed Toyota Prius that features a new body kit with new fender arches.
Another JDM based tuning company FULLTECH, which has been focusing on the Toyota GR86, is bringing two GR86 models: a more extreme version featuring a GT style full overfender kit inspired by Super GT racecars, and another with a narrower kit that accentuates the stock body perfect for street driving. For fans of bold designs, RESULT JAPAN is showcasing a super-wide aero package for the Toyota GR86.
Lastly, LITTLE PANDA will be presenting a fully tuned Nissan Skyline R33GT-R, which is an iconic JDM favorite. From hybrids to fully tuned masterpieces, experience the unique style, quality and innovation from these exclusively Japanese tuning companies.
