Ferrari 355 GTS on Air Suspension -

Tuning supercars doesn’t have to be a gaudy or outrageous experience. Want proof? Just take a look at Tatsuya Yokoyama’s Ferrari F355 GTS. Based in Okayama (a cool 8-hours drive from Tokyo), Tatsuya’s take on supercar tuning is unlike any other in Japan. Teamed up wiith Kazuki Ohashi – otherwise known as @Kazuki_Crossglow on Instagram – the pair have turned their hobby into a business simply known as Madlane Ltd. What’s Madlane? Put simply, these are the kings of stancing supercars.

Tatsuya’s Ferrari 355 GTS is a work of art. It’s the epitome of the 90s, and one of the best-looking Ferraris ever made… which instantly makes it one of the best-looking cars ever. What’s more, the GTS was a model limited to just 2577 units, boasting a targa-style hard top (which could be stored behind the seats) along with a host of other tweaks and upgrades compared to stock.

Custom air struts were developed in-house at Madlane, and while custom struts are nothing new manufacturing them to fit within the ultra-limited arch space of the F355 is no easy task. Less space = smaller bag/damper which, approached badly, can hamper the driving experience. Air Lift 3H management gives Tatsuya that killer stance and ability to perfectly tuck the custom-made Madlane wheels (based on BBS CH centres) within the stock arches. No cutting, no rolling, just precise fitment.

For the interior, a pair of uber-rare Recaro A8 seats replace the stock Ferrari items along with a Momo steering wheel and Air Lift 3H controller.

Then there’s the noise. The 3.5-litre V8 boasts a flat-plane crank, 5-valves per cylinder and a rev limit close to 9000rpm. Combine that with a tubular Kreissig exhaust and the noise is out of this world. This isn’t a ‘mad’ build, but it’s brilliantly thought out and executed.

Madlane aren’t trying to reinvent these supercars – they’re just accentuating the style using modern techniques. These guys aren’t about ultimate speed on track; they’re all about the stance, but with the ability to continue using the cars as intended. And truthfully, how many supercars these days live a life of Sloane Street & garaged for future investment? We’d much sooner see a car being enjoyed and customized rather than simply tucked away.
