Is it a Hot Wheels toy cars showroom? Are we the size of ants now? Or is it a fantasy come true? It’s definitely real. And it’s every car enthusiasts’ dream come true.
Tokyo is hosting the fanciest car show and the cars are breathtakingly extravagant.
Japan is the hot place to be at right now, and the fiery red flames paintwork and diamond studded cars are the reason. The annual custom-vehicle extravaganza started Friday.

Chevrolet Impala
We all want to spoil ourselves rotten. Buy jewellery, cars. But the maker of this car decided to go a step ahead. He spent nearly two years on the hand-engraving, and the diamond-studded car was created for himself.

Nissan Juke
The concept of this car’s triangular wheels and raised body is to ride any terrain. Said to be inspired by Japan’s natural disasters, designers saw a need to create a car that could go through any environment. Here is the car to feed our adventurous souls and help us drive any and everywhere.

It definitely feels like an episode of ‘Pimp My Ride‘.
