MotorManiac 2025: Bigger, Wilder, More Legendary
MotorManiac 2025 showcases a combination of core activities that define its identity, including:
- Autoshow
- 2-Step Competition
- Limbo Competition
- Frenemies Bboy Competition
- Car Parade
With over 600 cars from various categories such as JDM, MDM, Continental, and Supercars, Motor Maniac this year is far more special and unique compared to previous editions.
According to Mikhail Faizi also known as Mike, the organizer of Motor Maniac, he emphasized, “If you miss this edition, you will truly miss everything.”
More Than Just Cars, This is Culture
MotorManiac this year is not just about motor style, but reflects a culture that connects the automotive community, music, and street lifestyle.
The difference in MotorManiac this year is that we are bringing more than one activity.
To deliver a brand-new experience, MotorManiac introduces the concept of an automotive carnival, where showcased cars will parade in rolling groups, rather than being displayed statically as in previous years.
As the highlight of this year’s event, visitors were also entertained with a concert featuring top local artists such as Alyph, Eemrun, 53Universe, and Dannqrack.
In addition, many local streetwear brands hyped up the event, including Super Sunday, Abstrax, Headers, and Choii Motorsport.
Not forgetting diecast enthusiasts and car model fans, MotorManiac this year also presented a Diecast Expo featuring exclusive collections.
