Retro Havoc 2026: The Curve Came Alive with Cars, Crowds and Pure Automotive Energy Yesterday

Kuala Lumpur, 7 June 2026 – The Curve in Mutiara Damansara was transformed into a buzzing automotive playground yesterday as Retro Havoc 2026 took over the popular lifestyle destination for its 11th edition. From morning until late night, the event drew thousands of enthusiasts, builders, families and casual visitors who came to soak in the sights, sounds and atmosphere of Malaysia’s custom car culture.

As early as 9am, modified cars began rolling into the venue. Some were clean and classic, carefully restored to their former glory. Others arrived slammed to the ground with aggressive widebody kits, eye-catching wraps and stance that turned heads the moment they entered. The mix of retro machines and modern street builds created a dynamic contrast that kept visitors moving from one display to another throughout the day.

The energy was palpable. Crowds gathered around standout cars, with owners happily explaining their builds while photographers — including world-renowned Larry Chen — moved through the space capturing moments. International guests were constantly surrounded by fans. Kei Miura of Rocket Bunny/Pandem, Toshiya Ichiraku of RWB Japan, and Hyuma Kato & Toshiro Nishio from Liberty Walk spent hours meeting supporters, signing autographs and posing for photos.

One of the biggest highlights of the day was the launch of the exclusive IMX × Garasi Drift × Retro Havoc collaborative merchandise line by Indonesian drift stars Ziko and Dipo. Long queues formed almost immediately after the booth opened. Within just a few hours, the limited items had completely sold out — a clear sign of how strong the demand was from the local community.

Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, the atmosphere remained lively. Families walked alongside hardcore enthusiasts, content creators filmed reels, and groups of friends debated their favourite builds. The presence of high-profile cars from Japan and Thailand, including a special Porsche 993 RWB and the Top Secret Thailand lineup, added extra excitement for those who came specifically to see rare machines up close.

As the sun set, the venue took on a different mood. Lights illuminated the cars, music played in the background, and many visitors stayed on until the event officially wrapped at 10pm. What stood out most was not just the quality of the cars on display, but the genuine sense of community that filled the space.

Retro Havoc 2026 once again proved why it remains one of Malaysia’s most anticipated automotive gatherings. It wasn’t only about polished paintwork or loud exhaust notes — it was about people coming together to celebrate passion, creativity and the culture that continues to grow stronger every year.

For many who attended yesterday, it was more than just another car show. It was a full day of connection, inspiration and shared excitement that they will be talking about for weeks to come.
