At the Tokyo Auto Salon 2024, Mazda officially launched its motorsports brand, Mazda Spirit Racing with a pair of show cars.

Hyundai is doubling down on its high-performance Hyundai N brand by unveiling a range of N Performance Parts for the Ioniq 5 N at the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon of all places. In effect, they managed to outshine the other significant performance EV SUV at the show—the Nissan Ariya Nismo.

Is Mazda Bringing Back An In-House Tuner In Mazda Spirit Racing?

Is Mazda reviving an in-house tuning arm? That looks to be the case if we were to look at what’s going on at the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon.

The Lexus LBX may come with a standard hybrid powertrain, but that didn’t stop the folks over at Gazoo Racing from putting in something a bit more potent. With the help of Akio Toyoda (aka Morizo), they’ve created the LBX Morizo RR Concept.

All-New Civic Type R To Become Honda's Top-Tier Race Car By 2024

The Subaru Levorg Sport # Is The Closest Thing We'll Get To A WRX STI Wagon

At the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon, Subaru used the annual tuning show to present the Levorg (local market WRX Wagon) tweaked by their in-house tuner, STI. Known as the Levorg STI Sport, it featured handling enhancements led by the brand’s first use of electronically-controlled dampers. Three Tokyo Auto Salons later, Subaru is bringing a sharper version of their fast grocery-getter appropriately named the Levorg STI Sport Sharp (stylistically written as Levorg STI Sport #).

2023 Subaru Crosstrek Boost Gear Embraces The Great Outdoors

Subaru continues to embrace its outdoorsy image with the Crosstrek Boost Gear Concept for the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon. Based on the recently launched all-new Crosstrek, the Crosstrek Boost Gear Concept shows what a potential off-road-centric version of the compact crossover would be like.

Subaru To Show A High-Performance Future Without Its Boxer Engine

Subaru understands that one day, they’ll have to eventually give up on its famed horizontally-opposed (aka boxer) engine as the world moves to the electric era. The world’s first glimpse of that future is this: the STI E-RA Concept.

After the all-new Subaru WRX was shown, there was some trepidation surrounding its design, and how that will translate to the top-dog WRX STI. Not due until the 2023 model year (it is expected to make its global debut sometime in 2022 though), the design direction could be previewed by this: the WRX STI Performance Concept.
