1980s Ferrari F40 “Kaido Racer”

April 28, 2022 by admin

While many Americans would quickly label this as Bosozoku style, that is Japan’s youth movement from the 1950s onwards associated with biker gangs and customized motorcycles. Instead, it’s a Kaido racer, which was an even more heavily modified type of vehicle inspired by vintage race cars from the 1980s. Kaido racers – Inspired by 70s and 80s race cars, they’re hard to miss with their ground-scraping ride height, tall extended exhaust pipes, huge overfenders with wide wheels to match and wild custom bodywork. Kaido racer is a broad word used to describe what some people wrongly call a “Bosozoku car” i.e a GX71 cresta on SSR Mark ll wheels that’s very low, has a chin spoiler on the front and a slit spoiler on the rear with some FET Kyokuto decals, this is what a Kaido racer actually is.

Shakotan is a word you’ll hear by many of the Japanese public used to describe a Kaido racer, but the word itself means low car, and can be used to describe modern low cars too. Haiso is a style of Kaido racer that is more or less a 1980s VIP car. But if you think a slammed F40 may be outrageous, then you had better look away from this new interpretation because it is now way beyond controversial. Also, those unfamiliar with the design ideas get a pretty thorough explanation as to what subculture this appeals to.
