What is a JDM performance car?
1 Answers
JDM performance cars refer to performance vehicles modified in the Japanese style, not a specific car model, but a category of vehicles. Here is an introduction to JDM performance cars: JDM belongs to Japan's modified car culture, which became popular starting from the 1990s. It took decades to go from obscurity to widespread acceptance. As of August 2019, modified cars still belonged to a relatively small niche in China. Due to policy reasons in China, there are many restrictions on car modifications. When modifying a car, it usually involves changing the body kit, spoiler, wheels, and the color of the car body. If there are requirements for performance, the car's ECU program can also be rewritten to increase the vehicle's power. Of course, if the car's ECU program is modified, 4S shops generally do not provide warranty services; it is important to note that car modifications must be done at reputable modification shops and registered with the vehicle management office to avoid unnecessary trouble. As of August 2019, modified versions of the Mitsubishi EVO, Nissan GTR, and Honda Civic on the market can be considered JDM performance cars. Generally, performance cars have strong power, with horsepower usually above 250, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of less than 6 seconds. JDM performance cars, based on the original factory settings, are modified with Japanese-style body kits, spoilers, and wheels to make the car's appearance more Japanese.
