Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 - The P-Cars


Porsches seem to be a staple diet of the Japanese, walk down the streets of Central Tokyo and chances are, a Porsche will drive by almost every 10 minutes. With so many Porsches porking around, it was somewhat strange to not see many 911s at the Auto Salon.

Old is gold as some say, and Goodyear had a lovely RUF at their booth. You just can't beat an old school 911.


Especially one in RUF trim and 2 hot models standing alongside.

FatLace had a super sexy RWB, christened the "Spearmind Rhino". More on this car in a future post.

The current trend of aftermarket modifications seem to be targetted more at sedans and SUVs/MPVs, so no surprises that the P-cars featured at the Auto Salon consisted mostly of Panameras and Cayennes. The Panameras benifitting the most from these aftermarket additions. Making them go from looking pretty hideous to being actually pretty. HRE had a white Pan-am...

...and Wurde displayed a black one.


Even Junction Produce brought out a Panamera. Can't VIP a Porsche? Think again...



Techart showed off 2 Cayennes...

...while Hamann made do with one.


Most of the 911s on show were competition cars as the above Itasha'd 911 from Dijon Racing showed.

As always, you can never go wrong with the Hankook girls.
