Either you love their style, or hate it… Veilside are famous for their aerodynamic and aesthetic enhancement of the vehicle. The name is derived from the owner’s name, Yokomaku Hiranao. “Yoko” means “side” and “maku” means “veil”, which are compounded to form “Veilside”. Hirano was influenced by the 1960s Batmobile and designed along those lines. In 1994, the Supra Combat design was released and took the Grand prize at the Tokyo Auto Salon in the Complete Car category.

Minkara is like a Japanese Cardomain. Use the search field (top right) to type in a chassis model (eg: DC2R) and find home pages of owners living in Japan. It’ll take some time for you to get used to the interface, but it’s well worth the effort!
