Market overview

Asia's specialist and ultra-low-volume activity is spread across three distinct clusters: Japan's motorsport and performance divisions (Toyota Gazoo Racing, Honda Racing, Nismo, Lexus, Infiniti); China's emerging boutique and premium EV specialists (Nio, Xpeng, BYD/Denza, Leapmotor, Kosmera, Techrules); and South Korea's Genesis and its Genesis Magma Racing performance arm. UAE-based W Motors adds a Gulf hypercar presence. Volumes span from low-series performance divisions through to single-digit boutique hypercar builds, with the Chinese cluster the fastest-growing but still early-stage.
