We\u2019ve attended every year since Speedhunters\u2019 inception in 2008, and this time is no different, with a big team on the ground ready to bring you the best, the unexpected, and the downright outlandish. How will Tokyo Auto Salon 2025 stack up against previous shows? We\u2019ll soon find out, but in the meantime, let\u2019s wind the clock back 10 years\u00a0to revisit Dino\u2019s highlights from the 2015 event.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p><span id=\"chapter-2015-feature\" class=\"sh-post-chapter-break\">2015 Feature<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The general idea behind Tokyo Auto Salon is to bombard you with as much car-related goodness as possible\u00a0\u2013\u00a0something the event does very well.\u00a0It\u2019s precisely what the Tokyo Auto Salon\u00a0is all about; you wander like a kid in a candy store through hall upon hall, guided solely by the sight of\u00a0something in the distance.\u00a0You may spot a cool slammed VIP ride a few booths up, but then you are distracted by a new set of brakes that you need to take a\u00a0closer look at.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday and Sunday, just moving around the halls of the Makuhari Messe can become a proper chore, such is the number of people that visit TAS over the weekend. 2015 was a huge success for the annual tuning show \u2013 the halls filled with record numbers of displays and almost 310,000 visitors through the doors over the three-day event. Yep, modifying is<em> far<\/em> from dead in Japan.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"TAS2015-Mishmash-01\" data-attachment-id=\"228683\" data-go-fullscreen=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/speedhunters-wp-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/16210032\/TAS2015-Mishmash-01.jpg\" data-can-print=\"true\" data-attachment-url=\"https:\/\/www.speedhunters.com\/2015\/01\/the-great-tokyo-auto-salon-mishmash\/tas2015-mishmash-01\/\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/speedhunters-wp-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/16210032\/TAS2015-Mishmash-01-1200x800.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>So, let\u2019s begin our tour at the\u00a0RAYS stand \u2013 one of the first places I always stop\u00a0off at\u00a0to see what\u2019s new for the year. It\u2019s where I spotted this Mazda Atenza sitting on new Variance V.V.10M wheels from RAYS\u2019\u00a0Versus line. The stance and show-orientated movement have forced\u00a0Japanese wheel manufacturers to push themselves to stay on top of current trends with new and\u00a0innovative wheels, and these are a\u00a0perfect example of that.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"TAS2015-Mishmash-13\" data-attachment-id=\"228695\" data-go-fullscreen=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/speedhunters-wp-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/16210032\/TAS2015-Mishmash-13.jpg\" data-can-print=\"true\" data-attachment-url=\"https:\/\/www.speedhunters.com\/2015\/01\/the-great-tokyo-auto-salon-mishmash\/tas2015-mishmash-13\/\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/speedhunters-wp-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/16210032\/TAS2015-Mishmash-13-1200x800.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Sitting in front of RAYS\u2019 main display area was this new TE37 design.

Blitz\u00a0also went to town\u00a0on the new Daihatsu Copen, dressing their demo machine up with a set of Enkei mesh wheels and some\u00a0R35-inspired aero treatment.

It\u2019s such a pretty-looking compact wagon, and it would have had so much\u00a0potential had it not been ruined by only being available with a CVT transmission. HKS has attempted to make the most of the car by developing some adjustable dampers, a full exhaust system,\u00a0and some\u00a0electronic upgrades to extract a little more power from the 300hp\u00a0FA20 turbo motor under the hood.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"TAS2015-Mishmash-48\" data-attachment-id=\"228730\" data-go-fullscreen=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/speedhunters-wp-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/16210032\/TAS2015-Mishmash-48.jpg\" data-can-print=\"true\" data-attachment-url=\"https:\/\/www.speedhunters.com\/2015\/01\/the-great-tokyo-auto-salon-mishmash\/tas2015-mishmash-48\/\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/speedhunters-wp-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/16210032\/TAS2015-Mishmash-48-1200x800.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>However, it was <em>this<\/em> that I couldn\u2019t keep\u00a0my eyes off.
