With the explosion of various JDM models on Douyin, it has aroused the enthusiasm of many car enthusiasts.
So what is JDM? Japanese Domestic Market literally translates "for the Japanese domestic market", but now it has evolved into a modified style and culture.
Mazda MX-5
Japan’s economy was unprecedentedly prosperous in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the purchasing power of the people was soaring. At the same time, the major Japanese automakers were also inflated and began to engage in horsepower racing frantically regardless of cost. I built a fast car with good performance, and I immediately built a car with faster and better performance. But this causes more traffic accidents and higher death rates. Later, Nissan became the object of the first government interview, and then there was the so-called gentleman agreement, which stipulated that the original horsepower of the models sold in the Japanese domestic market should not exceed 280 horsepower.
and the four kings are representative of Japanese performance sports cars in the early 90s. They are Honda NSX, Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7 and Mitsubishi 3000GT.
NSX:
Honda NSX regards Ferrari 328 and 428 as imaginary enemies before and after the development stage. The F1 god Senna also gave many suggestions and later gave him two test cars. The first-generation NSX was launched in 1990. The mid-mounted rear-drive, 3.0 V6 naturally aspirated engine, code-named C30A, has a maximum horsepower of 273 horsepower, a maximum torque of 280 Nm, a titanium alloy crankshaft, forged pistons, an all-aluminum body, and a length of 4 meters 43. The vehicle weighs 1.35 tons. Both the appearance and performance of NSX are worthy of the title of "Toyo Ferrari". Of course, due to higher R&D costs,It is also the most expensive of the four heavenly kings.

Supra: strong
is the fourth-generation Toyota Supra released in 1993. The 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine codenamed 2JZ has two versions: naturally aspirated and twin-turbocharged, naturally aspirated 225 horsepower, 280N·m; the maximum horsepower of the twin-turbocharged engine is 280 horsepower, and the maximum torque has reached horror. 450N·m, four-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension structure, front rear drive, 4 meters long, 1.51 tons weight, 2JZ turbocharged version has great potential for modification, and it can easily reach 5 or 6 hundred. , A thousand horses is also common. So Supra often appears in the 400m acceleration. Supra is also a super straight man among the four kings. He has a domineering nickname called Bull Demon King.

RX-7:
is the third generation of the FD since 1991. FD has a simple and streamlined appearance with cute jumping lights, which is easy to be poisoned. However, under its cute appearance, it has an extremely manic heart. In terms of power: 1.3-liter twin rotors code-named 13B (the volume of each rotor is 654CC), equipped with twin turbochargers, the maximum horsepower is 255 horsepower, the maximum torque is 294N·m, the engine speed can break ten thousand at any moment , Like your wife who loses her temper.It has a front rear drive, a length of 4 meters 28, and a weight of only 1.2 tons. So it is the most brisk and elegant player among the four kings.

3000GT:
strong1 was actually sold in the US market in 1990. It was originally called the Mitsubishi GTO brand in the US One of the cars is also called GTO, so I wouldn’t dare to compete with American father, so I changed the name to 3000GT. It is also a jumper design but lacks the restrained RX-7. It doesn’t matter, Mitsubishi’s technology is strong enough. Let’s take the four-wheel drive model as an example. It has four-wheel steering, electronically controlled suspension, and a 6G72 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine. The maximum horsepower is 280 horsepower. 2500 rpm can burst out 426N·m. Maximum torque. The length of the vehicle is 4 meters 75, and the weight is 1.68 tons. The 3000GT of the four kings has the most advanced technology, but the body is too heavy and suffers a lot of losses.

These are the representatives of JDM, the four kings of the East. Someone has to ask, why is there no GTR?
GTR R32
Because GTR was only the highest performance version of the Nissan Skyline series at the time, and there were four-door touring cars in this series. It was not until 2007 that the GTR became an independent sports car of the Nissan brand, so the GTR (R32) of that year could not be regarded as a sports car in the pure sense. It is a pity, but the strength of the GTR cannot be questioned!
