Voltex plans to debut a front and new hood at Tokyo Auto Salon 2026. Long overdue since they were one the first to offer high quality GT wings for the platform.

"First we will display the protomodel of the front spoiler and engine hood at the auto salon, and of course we will have several types of wings ready for you to see"

SPOON COMPLETE AERO PROGRAM has completed the prototyping stage

Spoon Note;

“As the next evolution of the CIVIC FL5, we are developing new side and rear aero components, and the project is now entering its final stage”

I like how they incorporated the canards without doing some weird European bullshit that would increase the fuck out of the car’s radar cross section

December 26, Press release: A new car from ARTA: the ARTA GT FL5 will be introduced at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 at the AUTOBACS Booth

Translated

At ARTA, we've poured all our knowledge and passion cultivated on the circuit into this car, which we've spent time crafting. The "ARTA GT FL5" will finally be unveiled. The "ARTA MUGEN CIVIC TYPE R-GT #8" will also be on display.

Transforming everyday life into a "driving stage"—

This is our challenge to bring ARTA's racing mindset to you.

Please come and witness this historic moment at the venue.

■ UNVEIL & TALK SESSION (PRESS EVENT)

Prior to the public unveiling, an unveiling ceremony for the media will be held on Friday, January 9th at 11:15 AM. Three iconic figures from ARTA will take the stage to discuss the project in full detail.

Aguri Suzuki (ARTA General Manager)

Keiichi Tsuchiya (Executive Advisor)

Tomonori Nojiri (ARTA Driver)

*The ceremony starting at 11:15 AM is for media representatives only. After the ceremony, members of the public will be able to view the exhibit vehicles up close.

■ CONCEPT: The "Three Essences" Embodied by the ARTA GT

With this project, we sought more than just dressing up the car. How could we bring the excitement of the race track into your garage? We've condensed that essence into this car.

01. TRACK TO STREET

Technology and design honed to the utmost on the circuit are brought directly to the street. The essence of precision and speed honed in the racing world permeates into everyday scenery.

02. BROUGHT TO YOUR GARAGE

Bring a refined racing spirit into your garage. It's not just about owning it, it's about living with the heartbeat of your machine. Every time you grip the wheel, you'll feel its soul in the palm of your hand.

03. CRAFTSMANSHIP

Unwavering form born from skilled craftsmanship. From the choice of materials to the finishing touches, everything is purposeful and imbued with passion. See for yourself the incredible precision and beauty that resides in every detail.

The "ARTA GT FL5" is the culmination of our belief in "refined functional beauty."

ARTA Civic Type-R Custom Car Project Launches

During the 2025 SUPER GT talk show, General Manager Aguri Suzuki and Executive Advisor Keiichi Tsuchiya announced the progress of the ARTA new custom car project.

And at the recent talk show at Suzuka Circuit, concept sketches for an ARTA custom car based on the Civic Type-R (FL5) were finally unveiled for the first time!

ARTA CIVIC TYPE-R (FL5) Concept Sketch

The front mask features a large opening to increase downforce and cooling efficiency.

The over fenders incorporate ducts with air outlets, and the rear is fitted with an impressive diffuser and a large swan-neck GT wing.

The car's functional beauty is reminiscent of the ARTA MUGEN CIVIC TYPE R-GT, and it features a number of gimmicks that bring out the limits of performance not only on public roads but also on the circuit.

This project is being developed primarily by Aguri Suzuki and Keiichi Tsuchiya,

with the aim of creating a car that satisfies both in appearance and performance and releasing it into the world.
