January 11th (Fri) to 13th (Sun), 2019 @ Makuhari Messe
For car lovers, I've seen a lot of this topic on many news sites and blogs of individuals, I think it's been three days, but I've been there as usual. ,yes"Tokyo Auto Salon 2019"!
I was looking at the calendar saying "I want to go" from the time the advance tickets were on sale, but I was busy with various schedules around here, so I don't know if I can go until just before. It wasn't.
Still, I'm glad I managed to find time and go again this year. Events get tired every day, but once a year, I'm looking forward to it, and the atmosphere of the event really lifts my feelings ^^
Meanwhile, when I bought an advance ticket, the ticket number was surprising (?) [964 777]. Somehow, Porsche is full of lucky feelings!
Once again, I was more excited to go to the Tokyo Auto Salon just by such a simple event (laughs).
The venue is Makuhari Messe, just like last year. It is a large-scale event that uses the East-West & North Hall, the event hall, and the outdoor exhibition hall.
Every year, the number of visitors exceeds 300,000 in 3 days, and the number of visitors to the 2019 Tokyo Auto Salon was "330,666" in 3 days! It's a great number of people.
Tokyo Auto Salon Efficient way to go around
When this many people gather, the venue will be flooded with a lot of people, but this year I was already in the mood to capture the way of walking at the Tokyo Auto Salon, so I didn't get tired of the crowds and I was able to go around. I think I was able to do it.
It's quite natural, but there are "crowded places" and "vacant places" even in the venue, so if you avoid those "crowded places" anyway, you can go around efficiently. rice field.
First of all, the reason for "crowded place"
"(1) Events such as talk shows"↓ (This is when Keiichi Tsuchiya is talking at HONDA)
And the reason for the crowd"② When there is some kind of announcement or shooting"↓
For example, this is the Super GT2020 concept model "GR Supra Super GT Concept Car" ↓ I wanted to take a closer look, but was it just a TV shoot? It seems that it was time for, and it was already very crowded. I ended up looking at it from a distance ...
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing announced that it will participate in the Lexus LC Nürburgring and Supra at this year's Nürburgring 24 hours. Also, TOYOTA will fight in Supra in Super GT from 2020.
And next to me was the "GR Supra Concept Car", which is the concept car of this road car.
Well, and don't forget, it's no exaggeration to say that the most major reason why booths are so crowded is, yes.
"③ When the companion appeared at the booth and it was time to shoot"(Laughs) ↓
Do you understand? Only the yellow circle around the venue is a little crowded.
This is exactly the time when "Companion is deciding the pose", and where did he come from at this time? !! There are a tremendous number of camera boys, and it gets very crowded without pushing (laughs).
This is a situation that you absolutely must avoid (though those who are looking for companions have no choice but to fight here)! Anyway, if I could confirm the exposure of the companion, if I avoided it, I could see each booth in a fairly vacant situation ^ ^
By the way, if the companions were thinking that they would just be taking pictures, the men would say "Please stroke your head" or "Take a picture together", and when you take a picture, that man will be the companion. There were many situations where I was screaming at my tongue, and I was like, "What about that?"
When I saw such a situation, I suddenly met the companion, and the women laughed at each other with the feeling, "Hey, how about this?" (Laughs). Everyone, it's hard ~.
Exhibits at Tokyo Auto Salon 2019
Well, I can't stop, but I'd like to post some photos in no particular order!
First of all, from the American muscle car equipped with the 6.2L HEMI V8 engine sold by Dodge's high-performance division "SRT". Even if it is genuine, an over fender is attached to a wide body, and it is said that it is finished as one with overwhelming power.
"Dodge Challenger SRT Demon" ↓ The inside of this light part is actually an air intake (intake port) called "intake headlight"! !! Unless told, I didn't notice at all ... I was surprised.
Next is the Nissan booth. This is JUKE's "JUKE Personalization Adventure Concept". ↓. A specification in which a caterpillar-like crawler is used instead of a tire. I don't understand anymore! But it's kind of cute. By the way, the reference vehicle price range is 1,975,320 yen to 3,468,960 yen.
"NISSAN LEAF NISMO RC" developed by NISMO racing technology ↓
And here ↓ is "Nissan GT-R with Naomi Osaka player specifications"!
The color of this exhibition car is midnight opal. It's a special paint color that changes color depending on the viewing angle, so I wanted to see the actual car in front of me once, so I'm glad to meet you. It was really brownish or purpleish depending on the viewing angle.
Nissan: MOTUL AUTECH GT-R ↓
Besides, this ↓, are the tires in this state even when running? !! Can you run ...? ??
And this is the Super Sports Pickup that the students of "NATS Japan Automobile College" that I wanted to see this time made, the Toyota 86 was lifted up and picked up, and the front was the image of Lamborghini Urus. Track! ← I'm definitely hitting Urus' SSUV (Super Sports Utility Vehicle) (laughs)!
Really, it looked like Urus, and it was so cute ^^ Even so, it's amazing that students can make this kind of thing.
This is a car that says "Hi, Mercedes!". Even so, it's hard to say "Hi, Mercedes" ... In English or Japanese ...
This is the Mercedes AMG GT 4-door coupe 63S 4MATIC. It seems that it has a capacity of 5 people, so it can be a candidate for the next family car in my house ...? !! kana? !!
Daihatsu P-5 ↓ It seems to appear in the animation!
This is Daihatsu's Copen-chan coupe ↓. Cute ^^
There were also several Z-sans.
If you think there was a new Mercedes-Benz G63 with 22-inch foil ...
The mini version of the G class car placed under this G class is ↓, it is the "Mercedes Benz G class 6x6 big radio control" that is the first import in Japan, so it is a mini version of the G class radio control! !! It's amazing! Because it was a radio-controlled model, it had something like a Sony PlayStation controller.
Equipped with 6 motors, it can board up to 110 kg. The MAX speed is 8km / h, and it is equipped with an MP3 player.
In addition, here is ↓ Mitsuoka Motors' Orochi, which was customized in collaboration with Sphere Light and Liberty Walk, and also Kids Kart (Chibi Orochi) with the same specifications! It's too cute ~ ^^
What's more, I don't know, but there are a lot of flashy cars!
The supercars looked sober (laughs)
When I was looking at various flashy custom cars, I had the illusion that the Ferrari 458 Spider ↓ that I saw after that looked sober.
But it's still cool. At the Tokyo Auto Salon, I'm attracted to the flashy cars who are completely done ^ ^
BMW is also cool ~ ↓!
3 Lamborghini Aventadors ↓
Maserati Gran Cabrio MC Stradale Look ↓
Vivid Green Lotus Exige Cup 430 ↓
There was also Tesla. Moreover, it is said that it is "on sale" here ↓
Toyota 2000GT Super Replica ↓. It is one that revived it as a modern version of R3000GT.
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's "TS050 HYBRID" sponsored by DENSO, which won the 2018 Le Mans 24 Hours race ↓
Porsche @ Tokyo Auto Salon
I couldn't see Porsche very much this time, but I could see some of them! Y-squared's Panamera 971 and Macan 95B ↓
Here, Porsche of ZERO design is Cayenne ↓
Besides, I always stop by every year to see the RECARO booth where I sit down once ...
There was also a car wash goods booth, so I just took a look ...
Then, when one of my dreams, "garage house", comes true someday, it's a good idea to put a mirror on the bottom of the car so that you can easily see the underside of the car. I was wondering ^^
It's quick, but I'm glad that I was able to see the entire exhibition at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
I could not see CarGuy's vehicle and other Porsche vehicles exhibited, but it was a pretty satisfying Tokyo Auto Salon 2019.
Also next year, it will be held at Makuhari Messe from January 10th (Friday) to 12th (Sunday), 2020, so I would like to look forward to one year from now.
Oh yeah, as a Porsche lover, after all, when I see the display of "Exhibition Hall 9-11" in the north hall of Makuhari Messe, I think "Oh! 911!" (Laughs). Do you think ??
The endlessly large parking lot of Makuhari Messe is completely filled with cars at the Tokyo Auto Salon and motor shows. At the time of the Tokyo Auto Salon, there were many customized cars parked, so it was a lot of fun just walking around the parking lot ^^
We also participated in the Tokyo Auto Salon with this Nissan Fairlady Z!
It was a very fun time. Really, it will be a lot of eye candy!
Also, on this day, I was able to meet a person who I had never imagined to meet at the venue of the Tokyo Auto Salon, saying, "No way!", So that was also a very happy event. It was one. I was happy to meet you early in the new year ^^
I'm Rika, the author of this article. Ever since Porsche 911 became my favorite car, I've become totally addicted to Porsche, and I can't stop loving Porsche, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are 911 Carrera (991.2), 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992.1), and 911 Carrera T (992.1).
