The Tokyo Auto Salon (TAS) is the first in a long list of motor shows that we’ll have to keep tabs on for the rest of the year. It’s coming soon this January, and Tom’s Racing has already announced its lineup for the Makuhari Messe-based auto show. Needless to say, Tom’s 2023 TAS booth will be full of sports cars and, surprisingly, a stunning sedan.
One of the highlights of Tom’s booth is the Century – a very formal four-door that is usually used to transport Japanese government officials. For the TAS, Tom equipped the Century with performance bits and subtle exterior additions like an exposed tailpipe and BBS wheels.
