Tokan style · Supercharger Z
The East Coast has a slightly different flavor. Miami is, of course, a trendsetting hub there. Here are two cars built by TOUCAN, based in Miami.
Two cars bursting with Florida power…
They’re here! Active Evolution, Euro Lite, and magazines C6…these brands are familiar sights at car shows. They are all part of the TOUCAN group, a major aftermarket-parts organization. Keep that background in mind as we look at the company’s demo Z.
The Z’s paint—somewhere between orange and red—captures Florida’s hot atmosphere. An Ings body kit and Active GT wing create a wild look. The body-color custom interior completes the TOUCAN world inside and out. The cohesive presentation is exactly what you expect from a demo car.

The interior is customized down to the smallest details. This level of craftsmanship directly affects a show car’s quality.
Supercharged for performance
Supercharger installed!!
The engine bay is simple compared with the exterior, but a Rotrex supercharger paired with NX delivers a huge power boost.
A neatly finished rear view gets an aggressive touch from the Active GT wing. The Ings aero kit is also a good-looking fit!
The wheels are RH CS custom. Brakes and calipers are the company’s Evotion package, greatly improving stopping power.
Customized throughout. A monitor is embedded in the rear quarter window—a technique that could be adapted to coupe-style cars. Ractive auxiliary gauges line the dashboard; their colored illumination is especially effective.
