This style came about in 1983 at the Fuji Speedway Grand Championship. It is a compound word for two prefectures east of Tokyo, Chiba and Ibaraki. Some of the initial characteristics of this style would be cars sporting a deppa (long front spoiler), works fender, and takeyari (bamboo) muffler from this general region.
Other notable parts that Chibaragi cars might include is fender spoilers, vents, silhouette wings, side step, oil coolers and more.


Other Kanto Area Styles
Other styles were popular in this region of Japan and in different time periods as well. I’m going to group these under Chibaragi for now, but might break this out into another page later.
Silhouette + Works




Super Silhouette


Koenig Style + Vents
Koenig Special styled kaido racers were a huge hit in the early 1990s. Narita Racing was one of the teams with a lot of examples of this style. This could either be full custom cars looking like the European counterparts, to a more simple Ferrari Testerossa-styled door fins. This is covered in more detail in the Koenig Specials article.



While I haven’t seen an official name for this, the early 1990s there was also trend for builders to exaggerate the amount of vents on a car and I thought it would be nice to feature some of them.
