Issue 91 December 2012 AED 25 1 On a High Note 2012 started off with a bang, with the glorious, 30th Anniversary of the Tokyo Auto Salon ushering in an exciting new year and promising lots of tuning contents in the coming months. And that was exactly the case as 2012 unfolded, we were over- whelmed by the sheer number of quality tuner and high-performance rides we’ve worked on this year. The most exotic cover story of the year is, without a doubt, the feature of the Rauh Welt Begriff 993 built in Dubai by the legendary Nakai-san himself. Props to Crank & Piston for the materials! Following that, many other hot tuner cars graced the pages of Top Performance, including those from HKS, Manhart Racing, Switzer, TRD, Classic Recreations, Techart, Roush, Vorsteiner, Kahn Design and the list goes on. Combining the best in local projects and international stories, we strived to provide interesting content and catering to a variety of interests. Same goes for the high-performance and exotic car test drives; we’ve had an awe- some lineup that included the McLaren MP4-12C, the new Nissan GT-R, the BMW M5, Camaro ZL1, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi S8, Toyota 86, several Bentleys, Porsches and Mercedes-AMG models. The year was truly filled with memorable drives and race track experiences, definitely one to be remembered.
