Witness “China’s Modified Auto Power” — start here!
The 2025 International Automobile & Motorcycle Sports Culture and Personalized Mobility Exhibition (abbreviated as APAxpo Foshan Modified Auto Show) grandly kicked off today at the Foshan Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. The three-day exhibition (September 19–21) is a spectacular event that will ignite a wave of automotive culture across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
It represents a brand-new debut of Chinese modified auto culture on the global stage — spanning from professionalism to trends, and from competition to industry, it fully unleashes the boundless vitality of automotive culture.
This exhibition has gathered over 1,000 top-tier global modified auto brands, more than 3,000 customized modified vehicles, and covers an exhibition area of 100,000 square meters. Nearly 100 concurrent events are held, and for the first time, the number of celebrity guests, super enthusiasts, and industry KOLs deeply participating in the exhibition has exceeded 300.
The exhibition content includes various events such as off-road, drifting, driving control, and car beauty skill competitions; debut shows for modified cars, car models, and new products; in-depth industry forums, fan meetings with super enthusiasts, car gathering activities, and cross-border linkage events. Additionally, there are industrial upgrading exhibits covering off-road modifications, outdoor camping, trendy car beauty, and performance modification upgrades. It can be said that both the hardware and software strengths that embody “China’s Modified Auto Power” have reached the top domestic level, allowing visitors in the Greater Bay Area to witness the diversified new ecosystem of China’s modified auto industry.
The once ambiguous boundaries are being replaced by new rules of standardization, professionalization, and internationalization. A trillion-yuan industry is accelerating its growth in the Greater Bay Area.
This is not only a trading platform but also a cultural intersection.
As an industry bellwether, APAxpo is building a “Global Car Enthusiast Community”, upgrading automotive modification from a mere product display to an all-new ecosystem of cultural exchange and user interaction. Culture is the “soul” of modification, and customized modified vehicles are the carriers of car enthusiasts’ emotions.
The exhibition originates from culture and feeds back into the industry. APAxpo’s rise today reflects changes in user demand, and it also asks enterprises still engaged in modification in traditional ways: Have you seen the new direction?
At the “GTR Ultimate Sanctuary” themed salon and fan meeting, distinguished guests Tamura Hiroshi and Sean Lee (Li Hongsheng) attended in person. They joined a lineup of influencers including Sir Zhou, Zaozao Nico, Binbinzi, FCCPARK Sasa, and 007 Auto Repair Shop to discuss the inheritance of JDM spirit, the rise of China’s Modified Auto Power (CDM), as well as the challenges and opportunities for automotive culture in the new energy era.
The event featured not only an influencer talk show but also surprise blind boxes and photo-taking interactions. Did you miss out?
The passion for auto modification burns not only on the stage, but even brighter on the competition field!
Hailed as the “Oscars of Car Beauty”, this championship is co-created by APAxpo and CeramicPro. Over 200 emerging auto service stores compete head-to-head, with SCARCITY—an acclaimed master brand from Japan—serving as the official polishing product for the event, providing quality assurance for contestants’ professional operations.
Top car beauty experts from across the globe have gathered here, including those from Mainland China, Hong Kong (China), Taiwan (China), Malaysia, the Philippines, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. This is your one-time chance to witness the world’s top-tier capabilities in the car beauty industry!
Their exhibition-exclusive models are not merely product displays, but also an elevation of the Greater Bay Area’s label as a “model industry distribution hub,” carrying the innovative momentum of the global model manufacturing core. This is a tribute to the core driving force at the forefront of the global industrial chain, and more importantly, a perfect integration of industrial foundation and consumer vitality.
These competitions have transformed APAxpo from a mere exhibition into a comprehensive carnival that combines professional competition and trendy experience.
What defines a top-tier legendary car in your mind? This year’s APAxpo has assembled a plethora of “treasured legendary cars” from around the globe—those rare, hard-to-see legends have finally “emerged like divine dragons.”
The lineup of modified cars is “unbelievably thrilling”: from the “Four Kings of JDM” (RX7, Supra A80, R34, NSX) to three generations of the “Japanese God of War” GTR appearing side by side; from the Fast & Furious-themed VeilSide Nissan 400Z to the classic E46 GTR from Need for Speed, and even the “nuclear bomb-painted” Cybertruck and DarwinPRO fighter jet-themed exhibition car. Every single one is enough to make car enthusiasts scream with excitement.
The first day was a spectacular success with an overwhelming crowd—streams of people filled the inside and outside of the exhibition halls, and the event took over social media feeds. Automotive modification culture is sweeping the Greater Bay Area like a prairie fire. Do you want to experience this excitement too?
APAxpo is more than just an exhibition; it is an eruption of a cultural wave. It allows China to no longer be just a “supporting role in the global aftermarket,” but to stand as a “cultural leading role” and showcase China’s modified auto power to the world.
