Notably, the JDM-style group (abbreviated as Japanese Domestic Market) appeared in large quantities and created the center of attention of the meeting.
JDM is a term used to refer to models and components manufactured exclusively for the domestic market of Japan. In addition to the origin factor, JDM also represents a unique car-loving culture, including a model style, racing inspiration and a sporty operation style.
At this event, the JDM group of cars was present quite diversely. The most prominent are the 5 rare Nissan models, including the 2 Nissan GT-R R35.
The GT-R R35 is the successor to the Skyline GT-R line but is no longer part of the Skyline product line. The vehicle has a structure of 2 rows of 4-seat seats, a front-mounted engine near the center position and 4-wheel drive. The body structure of the vehicle combines steel, aluminum and synthetic fiber materials to increase stiffness and reduce weight.
This model is developed based on the PM platform, which is an improved version of the FM platform that appeared on the Skyline and Nissan Z line. The GT-R R35 is equipped with a twin-turbocharged VR38DETT engine, a twin-clutch transmission and the ATTESA E TS Pro drive system. This is also one of the first commercial vehicles to use a start-up control system, while operating with a 4-wheel drive system with a rear-mounted transmission.
In addition to the GT-R R35, the event also has 2 Nissan 370Z models, one silver and one red. Both use a 3.7-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine, producing 320 horsepower and 365 Nm of torque. The rear-wheel drive system combined with a 7-speed automatic transmission brings suitable performance for those who love pure sports cars.
In addition to the Nissan group, the participating cars also include Subaru BRZ, Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4, Porsche 911 Carrera, Mercedes-AMG G63 and many other cars. The event shows that the multi-style car enthusiast community in Ho Chi Minh City is growing with more meetings organized on a larger scale and methodically.
