Here Are The Best Cars From The 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon

The Tokyo Auto Salon started in 1983 under the name “Tokyo Exiting Car Show” (yes, they really should have kept that name!), it was organized by Option magazine’s original editor-in-chief Daijiro Inada and got really popular abroad during the Fast and Furious era.

With the crazy builds, the legendary tuners, and big public reveals, it really was a middle finger to the Tokyo Motor Show. This was in contrast to the very polished and professional manufacturer show. When the Salon first debuted, mainstream Japanese public opinion didn’t think too well of anyone with a modified can and was more likely to associate tuner vehicles with street crime.

Public perception has changed greatly, though the cars remain absolutely wild. I told you about some of the youth projects, the throwback 2000s cars, and the NASCAR-style Mazda truck build.

In the more than 40 years since its inception, the show has also grown greatly in size. Close to 1,000 cars were showcased in total this year, and doing an article per car would take me quite a while to say the least. So how about a good ol’ photodump?

Let’s get going!

The star of the salon was of course Liberty Walk’s Lamborghini Miura. Whether you love it or hate it, it really was quite a sight to behold!
