Coinciding with the Easter holiday, the "HK Autofest 2026" opened on April 4 at AsiaWorld-Expo Hall 1, running for two days. The event adopts an innovative "auto show × car meet" format, bringing together classic Japanese modified car displays, industry expert talks, professional sim racing experiences, family-friendly workshops, and a car boot market, creating the city's largest indoor automotive cultural carnival.
The festival officially opened to the public at 11 a.m., drawing large crowds of car enthusiasts and families on its first day. In addition to local visitors, many international tourists attended, with diverse interactive experiences energizing the venue.
One of the key highlights is the "JDM Legends Gathering," featuring five of Japan's most iconic high-performance cars. Exhibits include the Skyline GT-R and the Honda NSX.
