Dino visits the Madlane headquarters in Okayama Prefecture, a quiet countryside town far from Tokyo’s hustle. The shop itself is immaculate and thoughtfully designed, with a spacious showroom and a meticulously organized workshop. Center stage is the stunning 935ML, a custom build unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon, surrounded by rare Porsche parts, vintage BBS wheels, and motorsport memorabilia.
Inside the workshop, Dino explores the heart of Madlane’s operation. Kazuki and his team are hard at work on several customer builds, including a 964 stripped for maintenance, a 930 Turbo with custom BBS wheels, and a 993 RS Cup car undergoing a full restoration. Every detail matters here—from the color-matched tool cabinets to the temperature-controlled engine room where flat-six engines are rebuilt with watchmaker precision.
Dino is especially impressed by Madlane’s approach: blending the stance and style of classic Japanese tuning with the engineering excellence of Porsche. The shop is filled with rare parts, project cars in various stages, and even a few surprises out back—like a true Kremer Porsche, a Ferrari Testarossa getting air suspension, and a battered but iconic Ferrari F40 nose ready for display.
Kazuki’s obsession with detail and history shines through in every build, and his reputation has drawn customers from all over Japan, shipping their prized cars hundreds of kilometers for his expertise. The video captures not just the cars, but the passion and philosophy behind Madlane: a relentless pursuit of perfection, a deep respect for automotive heritage, and a willingness to push boundaries in the pursuit of something truly unique.
For anyone who loves Porsches, Japanese car culture, or the art of custom builds, this episode offers a rare look inside a shop where creativity and craftsmanship come together in spectacular fashion.
