The Car Scene In Pakistan
I’ve been going through recent posts of being a petrolhead in certain places like India for example and I don’t expect it making a good image for the adjacent areas. Here in Pakistan, the car scene is very different.

No One Is Discriminated.
You Hardly Find Ricers Here
No stanced cars, no useless widebodys or big wings. Everything is just fine!
The Diversity Is Epic
From Supras to Civics, we’ve got them all.
We've Got Proper Project Cars Here
There’s not just adding a cold air intake or throwing in a fart can here, there are proper tuners and racers. Rotaries, V8s, Turbos, All Motor 4 Bangers.
The Love For Rallying
People come from all over the country to see these special rally stage events like Jhal Magsi and Cholistan Rally events which take place anually and people prepare their rides for them all year round.
People Here Love JDM
These are usually 800-1000 Horsepower Evos, Supras and RX-7s.
Availability Of Parts
Yes, we don’t have international tuning houses here but we easily import whatever we need.
Our Love For Civics Is Unconditional
We don’t give a c*ap of what you think of them, we love our Civics. We don’t rice them, we build them with passion.
We're More Fond Of All-Motor Rather Than Forced Induction
Most race cars here are naturally aspirated because we believe in raw engine power, not forced induction.
Everyone Knows Each Other
Our country is not big. We are all familiar with all the good cars and their owners no matter if you both are on the different ends of the nation. It creates a sense of unity and brotherhood amongst Car-Guys.

Seems like a cool scene! Over here everyone puts huge exhausts under golf’s
Croatia?
I have just seen, that you’re Dutch. Sorry. :D
In Herzegovina we love all kinds of BMW especially e30, and you can find a lot of sick 4x4’s and VW
As a fellow Dutchie i can confirm that….
Amazing! Recently I found a IG page from American car enthousiast in Iran. Great to see that passion for cars makes borders invincible
Oh there are cr*ploads of ‘murican cars in Iran, I visit Iran quite alot since my mums family is Iranian. I think I will go again in may and then I’ll write a article about Iranian car culture.
Are there any 60-70’s muscle cars actually? Anyways, superb article!
Yes my life own relative owns a 67 charger and 62 Bonneville and that’s just one of many in our country
yeah, there are, but they’re very expensive if you find one in good condition.
Theres a couple of 70s chargers which were inspired by FnF ofcourse……people LOVE classic mustangs here…i live in the capital and ive see 2 ‘64 mustangs and a 70s shelby mustang.
Oh and i also saw a 2009 mustang gt once . And theres a couple of 2009 camaros aswell
TAFO <3
I enjoyed this, well done.
So much BS. I’ve been on and off visiting Pakistan for the last 4 years. The country is huge. There is tons of discrimination in terms of elitism, rich guys tend to hang out with rich guys, i.e. those with nice cars are in their own friend circles. There are thousands of ricers out there, people lack clean taste. But the occasional car show brings out a decent variation, from Beetles to GTR’s, which is nice. It’s also great to see poor car guys do their best to enjoy whatever they have.
What I’m most sursprised by is actually the old muscle cars, that’s a fun thing to see. Lots of old Benz and Beetles. I spotted an old Peugeot hatchback once, first and only French car I’ve ever seen.
You feel lucking seeing the only Peugeot in Pakistan … Just try to digest the fact that there is only one GTR in the whole of India.
Must be in your circle. We have young boys to old married people here from hatchbacks to 2.5 Crore Rupees worth Luxury SUVs. This isn’t something new around for me. And as for riceism, meet me up the next time you’re here. I’ll give you a nice tour.
And as you mention about spotting Peugeot. Here’s a G23 All Motor Peugeot of a friend’s from Aim Racers. One of the fastest All Motor 4 Banger of Pakistan
How come i’ve never experienced any of the things from the list? I’ve imported cars to Pakistan and I can’t say that I agree with anything on the list?
the rice part is just not true .our rice has a hard time staying on our plates.
also,dumb stickers on everything .i mean everything .trucks,cars,rickshaws,buses.
Yes they do exist, corvettes, dodge an mustang are of ‘em!
Heres a nice little video too

Dear Pakistan, how come your are right next door on the map but your car market is leaps and bounds ahead of India ? …The most powerful car we can get here is the 145bhp Fiat Punto Abarth, and you guys are just chillin with your 700+bhp Supras and RX7s
We only have like 4 or so supras in Pakistan although there are alot of RX-7s
bro this is only cuz these cars are imported by people they are not sold their at all.
Keep calm and work hard . who knows you might have a supra soon ?
We got many supras , more than 20 R34 GTR’s , RX7’s are uncountable , Two nismo tuned R35’s , and the rest of R35’s are allmost stock. I my selfgot a R33 GTR , there are dozens of those too here .if you ever come here tell me will take you to an auto show.. :)
