Gran Turismo IRL -- Rowen & Tommy Kaira // DSG Blog

In continuing with our blog series about the JDM legends and classics, don't miss out on the History of Tommy Kaira and as it's known today, ROWEN. Most of you probably know them from playing Gran Turismo, but these guys are definitely legends in the JDM scene

Cool, i definately remember the Tommy Kaira Evo's from Gran Turismo 1 & 2 I loved those cars...but basically the real Tommy Kaira is retired and their name is being used to start new business now, so the parts we see today arent really Tommy Kaira?

*Edit- Oopps i made a mistake that was the TOMMY MAKINEN Evo vi I was talking about is that someone else???

Ya! Tommi Makinen is a famous Finish rally driver who won a bunch of championships behind Mitsu Evo's in the 90's. They had a Tommi Makinen Evo

Well, the good news is Rowen is not changing anything Tommy Kaira did so you're getting the same ultra high-quality stuff, just under a different name. Personally, I would have kept the same company name but I understand when you make a multi-million dollar business purchase, you want to have it under your name. I think some pretty amazing stuff is going to come out of Rowen actually.

Cheers,

I remember falling in love with the Tommy Kaira bugeye WRX back in the day. Cool post to learn more about them.
