Re: New Suzuki Jimny in 2018 Undisputed star of the 2019 Tokyo Auto Salon - Suzuki Jimny Quote: Unashamedly honest and affordable - that’s the key to the Jimny’s success | Quote:
Every year there’s always a car tuners can’t get enough of. In the past it was the Lexus LC, Toyota C-HR, and Mazda MX-5, but hadn’t seen anything quite like how the Jimny took over TAS.It was as if a case of Jimny-fever had spread throughout TAS and there was no stopping it.
| Quote:
Jimny-fever has reached its peak when even Suzuki themselves presented a pair of off-road concepts at TAS.
|
Continuing on the lifted theme was the NATS Jimny Adventure. Made by the Nihon Automobile College, it was the students’ take on how they’d envisioned the ultimate all terrain Jimny. Quote:
All the various takes on the Jimny was they all either maintained the same ground clearance as the original car or were raised.
|
Liberty Walk stand, with their Jimny kit, it got a lot of attention. The LB kit turns the Jimny into a G-Mini Quote:
They had received over 40 orders for their Jimny kit in the three days TAS was held
| Quote:
Half the orders came from overseas customers
|
Many G-Mini looks from many designers, the OEP222 also did the mini G-Class look for the kei version of the Jimny. Quote:
Perhaps it was because of this it took home the prize for the Kei Car Custom category.
|
Another award-winning custom Jimny was the Black Bison kit by Walt International. Quote:
This got the top prize for the SUV division, with DAMD’s Little G Sierra being the runner up, which as guessed from the name is another G-Class lookalike.
| Quote:
DAMD also has a Defender lookalike kit hilariously called the Little D, as well as some amazing interior options for their Little G and Little Ds.
| Quote:
The Jimny took home a lot of prizes this year but as cool as the Black Bison was, it was the Jimny next to it that really caught the attention.
|
And many more..pink and white Jimny .. and the craziest Jimny was the ‘Monster Jimny'. Quote:
The 1:1 car, erm, truck even came with a more affordable 1:10 RC version, too Presumably that’s the one they’ll sell
