Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur drew to a close with some 100,000 visitors and car fans visiting the three-day show held from 8-10 August at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom the big smiles, laughter, excitement and tremendous display of energy by visitors at the show, which was later reflected in thousands of social media postings depicting the good time they had meeting their tuning legends and seeing a line-up of extraordinary cars, the hard work we put in has more than paid off! The success of any show is not purely based on numbers, but even more importantly is the impression you leave on visitors and whether they are happy and satisfied. I would like to thank everyone who visited the show. Your continued support and shared passion are what fuels this show as we endeavor to make it bigger, better and more exciting every year,\u201d said Jason Yap, the Chief Executive Officer of Element X Strategies, the Sole Official Licensee of Tokyo Auto Salon in Malaysia. The show is held in collaboration with San Ei Corporation as the owner of the Tokyo Auto Salon intellectual property, and the Tokyo Auto Salon Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was only the third year of the show being held outside of Japan and we are also honored to have the support of so many iconic and legendary Japanese tuners who not only came, but brought their world-famous builds and a diverse collection of merchandises for all their Malaysian fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would also like to thank and record my highest appreciation to all the exhibitors and participants of Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur. We believe in the same vision and I sincerely hope that together with the participation of more local companies in Malaysia and the region, Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur can also evolve to become not only a B to C (business to consumer) platform, but also B to B (business to business) platform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s show also attracted the participation of Nissan; Goodyear Tyres; Castrol; EXN Lubricants; Liqui Moly; Utama Motors; Raxer Wheels; Dodson Motorsport (manufacturer of motorsports transmissions); Rimbunan Kuasa auto parts; Exedy Malaysia; United automotive professional tools; Go Pro; and local tuners and accessories players the likes of Vision Auto (HKS, Tom\u2019s, AlphaRex, Monster Sport); RS Auto Accessories; Pandem; Street Garage; F Tuned Suspension; the House of Type R; Qartel; and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the show remains as a satellite show and only a fraction of the size of Tokyo Auto Salon in Japan, Yap said the objective of Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur was never to replicate the original show but to create an identity unique to Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur will never be Tokyo Auto Salon Japan but we strive to retain the core qualities of the show, the vibe and what it represents to the world outside of Japan. Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur continues to infuse elements that will make the show uniquely Malaysian. This year we introduced several new elements which included a Mini TAS which is an area dedicated to die cast models and an area for Malaysia\u2019s Finest Tuners to give Malaysian companies a platform to showcase their craftsmanship, new and existing products as well as capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is so much of talent and expertise in Malaysia and it is our hope that Malaysia Finest Tuners will grow into a stage for local companies to unveil their latest products and innovations moving forward. We\u2019ve also retained unique elements such as the car auction which is envisioned to one day become the sought-after platform for a diverse collection of modified cars to exchange hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mini TAS turned out to become a definite hit with visitors \u2013 done in collaboration with The Model Car Show Malaysia (TMCS). Several limited edition models were launched during the show which included a Matte Frost Yellow Toyota Supra MK4 Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur special edition, the J\u2019S Racing-Hyper Race Motorsports S2000 and Tomica\u2019s collection of 1\/64 cars specially for Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Luimpur 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, merchandise booths set-up by visiting top Japanese tuners and local exhibitors also found themselves swarmed with customers from the very moment the doors to the hall opened at 10.00am daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
