San-ei Corporation (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President: Kenji Suzuki) will release 'OPTION June 2026 Issue' starting April 24, 2026.
March 21, 2026, 15:00 - 23:00. The night car meeting & party held on a scale that exceeded conventional wisdom was 'Red Bull Tokyo Drift 2026'. And held as one of its programs was 'Wangan BASE 2026 powered by OPTION'. Because it was an invitation-only secret event, the level of participating machines that won their entries at tremendous odds was exceptional. This month's special feature brings you the details of this one-night-only event and looks at the specs of the strongest user cars!
Furthermore, the second special feature develops 'Aero Trend 2026', introducing the latest aero parts trends. With the huge whirlwind of JDM happening globally, the aero boom is inevitably reigniting as people seek more unique tuning & customization. Therefore, we directly interviewed representative JDM aero parts manufacturers.
Strongest User Cars Gathering
The magazine's feature picks up machines from the participating vehicles at Wangan BASE, divided into six blocks: Neo-Classic / Custom Car / Orthodox Tuned / VTEC Custom / Import Tune / Special Sedan. Witness the tremendous attention to detail and build quality of each!
Shocking Demo Cars Appear
We introduce not only user cars but also demo cars from tuning parts makers and pro shops. Among them, machines that debuted at Wangan BASE with excessively shocking specs have their detailed specs dug into, so be sure to check them out.
Aero Trend 2026
Introducing the latest demo cars from 7 aero tuners representing current JDM customization: Varis / Kuhl Japan / Voltex / BN Sports / Rowen / Garage Active / Pro Shop Wave. Furthermore, articles introducing the characteristics of each company, such as specific technologies and series explanations, are delivered with plenty to read.
BEST SHOT JDM
The serial 'BEST SHOT JDM' introduces JDM super-tuned cars built in America. Appearing this time is a Lancer Evolution IX generating 790ps.
Booklet Appendix: Wangan BASE Super Tuned Collection
Comes with a 32-page booklet appendix featuring about 250 machines that participated in Wangan BASE! The high level is comparable to the demo car groups at the Tokyo Auto Salon. A must-read for reference when tuning & customizing your own car.
