While the [Tokyo Motor Show](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tokoyo motor show) is a stage for the world’s manufacturers to strut their production models, the [Tokyo Auto Salon](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tokyo auto salon) allows designers and engineers to stretch their legs with custom hardware. This year, Mazda is bringing 10 special models to the Tokyo Auto Salon, including a custom version of the recently-released CX-5.
The custom CX-5 wears special paint, a lowered ride height and unique wheels for a significantly sportier appearance. Likewise, the company’s [Demio](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mazda demio) also receives a little attention, and visitors to the show can expect to see the Demio 13 Skyactiv Smart Stylish bow alongside the CX-5. The pint-sized hatch makes use of a few aero treatments including a front underspoiler, side skirts and rear underskirt.
The new Axela Skyactiv will also be on display, complete with a body kit of its own, along with a sharp-looking set of wheels. Visitors can take a closer look at a pair of custom Roadster models as well, including the Black Tuned version and a racing-spec version called the Jimba-Ittai, or Rider and Horse as one. We like the sound of that. Hit the jump to read the full press release.Continue reading Mazda previews driver-focused Tokyo Auto Salon showcars
