Two of Liberty Walk’s most iconic Japanese builds are set to make a bold statement at the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur 2025, taking place from 8 to 10 August at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC). Flown in exclusively from Japan, the world-renowned tuning house will showcase its radically customised Ferrari F40 and Super Silhouette ER34 — two standout builds that have redefined automotive artistry.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to browse exclusive merchandise from Liberty Walk and meet the brand’s charismatic founder and owner, Wataru Kato, during the event.
The Liberty Walk Ferrari F40, which drew global attention upon its debut in 2023, is perhaps one of the most talked-about modified Ferraris in existence. Known for its extreme customisation, the F40 retains its legendary 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which delivers 471hp and 578Nm of torque. While maintaining its original performance DNA, the car has been transformed with Liberty Walk’s aggressive signature styling, including a full wide-body kit featuring prominent bolt-on fender flares, an aero-enhancing front cowl and diffuser, side skirts, rear diffuser, a large rear wing, and a lowered suspension setup.
The car’s traditional Rosso Corsa red paintwork has been replaced with a striking white wrap adorned with red roundels on the doors, drawing aesthetic inspiration from the A6M Zero fighter planes used by Japan during World War II. The dramatic transformation reportedly led to the vehicle being removed from Ferrari’s official registry, a testament to the extent of the modifications and the tuning house’s unapologetic approach to automotive expression.
Joining the F40 on display is Liberty Walk’s celebrated Super Silhouette ER34 — a tribute to the iconic KDR30 Skyline that raced in the Super Silhouette Formula series during the early 1980s under the hands of Masahiro Hasemi. First unveiled at Tokyo Auto Salon 2020, this ER34 reimagining features a retro-styled red and black livery that has since become a collector’s favourite, appearing on numerous diecast models.
Beneath its dramatically restyled exterior, the ER34 has undergone a serious performance overhaul. Its original RB25DET NEO engine has been replaced by a stroked 3.1-litre L28 powerplant, paired with triple 50mm Solex twin-draft carburettors for old-school racing character. Visually, the car is equipped with an aggressive body kit including boxy overfenders, revised front and rear bumpers, a new bonnet, side skirts, a large rear diffuser, and a towering rear wing. Its stance is enhanced by 18×11-inch Yokohama Advan Racing GT wheels, mounted using hub extenders and paired with air suspension to deliver the perfect blend of classic race car posture and modern show-car flair.
