Who is Tommy Kaira?

You may recognise the name from your playstation games!!


Two Kyoto-based engineers Yoshikazu Tomita and Kikuo Kaira set up the Tomita Dream
Factory in the late 60's. This company metamorphosised into Tommy Kaira in the late eighties - a high performance car manufacturing and tuning company.


Although some models have been designed from scratch, Kaira specialises in using a high performance base car from one of the main Japanese manufacturers that is then stripped down and converted to a Tommy Kaira model with the addition of new components and tuning systems.

Tommy Kaira has thus produced models of the Skyline, 300GTO, Subaru Impreza and the 300ZX. The extensive skills and testing of this Tuning house has already accrued Legendary Status for the company amongst other tuners such as Pentroof, Top Secret and Nismo.


Tommy Kaira cars are exceptionally rare and are a regarded as a piece of automotive history!

Rumours are currently circulating that the company is working on the recently released Nissan GTR - a project some have referred to as the mini-Veyron! Suffice to say the results are sure to ro shake up the motoring world once more!
