Electric Technology Car News: Ordinary auto shows are not enough? Tokyo Modification Show will let you know what a beast is

The major auto shows every year are events that car fans cannot miss. However, for fans of modified cars, the models exhibited at ordinary auto shows cannot hit their pain points. Only car modifications can make them excited.

Car modification is a derivative of car culture. It is not only a display of creativity and personality, but also contains unlimited business opportunities. Although there are various restrictions on vehicle modification in China, it still cannot stop car fans from being enthusiastic about modification culture. But today we will take a look at the grand events in the modified car industry.

Tokyo Auto Show Japan can be said to be a country with the strongest folk modified car culture. The Tokyo Auto Show held every January originated in 1983. It is a cultural concept of "consumer vehicle personalization" established by Daijiro Inada, the first editor-in-chief of "Option". It was originally named "Tokyo Exciting Vehicle Show". The show has a history of more than 30 years and is a world event for modified products, sports and classic cars. The Tokyo Auto Show can be said to be the largest event for modified cars in Asia. As a pioneer of Asian modified car culture, Japan's policies on modified cars are much more relaxed than those in China. It can be said to be a holy place that countless car fans yearn for.

The most popular method in Japan is to modify the original small-displacement, low-powered vehicles into "speed elves" by installing superchargers and other power-enhancing components. This modification has become a culture, a major feature of the Tokyo Motor Show, and is reflected in movies and comics.

Another major feature of the Tokyo Modified Auto Show is the infiltration of the two-dimensional culture. It is not uncommon in Japan to paste your favorite comic characters on the car. Even the models are wearing anime costumes. In addition, the Tokyo Modified Auto Show has a lot of off-site activities and a strong participation rate. This is the most attractive part of the modification show.


The SEMA Modified Auto Show in the United States is held in Las Vegas in early November every year. It was first created in 1967. SEMA is the English abbreviation of the Professional Auto Parts Market Association. This modified auto show can be said to be the world's largest automotive specialty product trade event. Its overall style has a strong American cultural color. The participating models are mainly muscle cars such as off-road and pickup trucks, showing the rugged and wild charm of American style. If the Tokyo Modified Auto Show represents the trend, then the American SEMA represents wildness. The auto show has three exhibition halls, including modified cars and accessories of light trucks, racing cars, RVs and other models, and a tire area.


SEMA has three main features: 1. The overall style of the show is heavily influenced by American culture, and American car modification plays an important role in it; 2. Many product cases full of novel imagination and creativity gather here, and most of the modifications are completely unconventional. 3. Brand modification and private modification complement each other, and the two compete for the lead, with stars shining.

The Essen Modification Show in Germany is held at the end of November every year. It was founded in 1968. This modification show is mostly participated by European manufacturers. Most of the models at the show are from European car brands, and occasionally American and Japanese manufacturers go to the exhibition. As a modification show held by a major automobile country, it naturally attracts the attention of many people. Compared with the trend of Japan and the wildness of the United States, Essen, Germany has only seriousness. Each brand quietly displays its own works, and there are not even many sexy and hot models. But this is a good thing for car lovers. What you can see at the Essen Modification Show are all monsters of the beast level tuned by big manufacturers. Those with less than 500 horsepower cannot enter the inner field for display.

Of course, in addition to the three major car modification exhibitions mentioned above, more and more modified car activities are being held domestically and privately, which is absolutely exciting for car fans who love modified car culture.
