While the size of Tokyo Auto Salon Singapore 2013 might not match the one held in Tokyo itself, this is nevertheless still a big show with a massive number of cars filling up the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre. And to share with you folks a piece of the massiveness here, we have prepared a list of the show’s highlights that even we could not get enough of them.
Some of them came all the way from Japan, and others represent the best that South East Asia can offer; these awesome Japanese machines are all gathered here at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre, ready to make the Tokyo Auto Salon Singapore 2013 one of the best auto shows that we have ever attended.

And the one that is almost impossible to overlook is this bright yellow Porsche 911 GT2 from Exoticmods. This particular Porsche is no stranger to Sepang as it was seen joining almost all major events held at this particular track.

As much as we Malaysians complain about our beloved country, we truly are a lucky bunch. We have some of the best roads this side of the world, lenient traffic police that we still complain about anyway even as we cruise down our ‘ways at 160km/h, and we have access to some of the best cars in the world if money is no object.

Spy photographers over at KGP Photography always seem to somehow get their hands on the juciest developments in the industry and the latest one is the next generation Honda NSX seen undergoing testing in and around the Nurburgring, not only that, it has apparently been driven hard whenever it went out on track, and there’s a good reason behind it too.
