Born in 1990 in Takatsuki, Osaka, WALD International is Japan’s benchmark for ultra-premium automotive refinement. Revered as the “couturier” of Toyota and Lexus, the house fuses Japanese artisan discipline with Germanic engineering rigour to deliver upgrades that are “born from the donor, yet beyond it”. Year after year WALD is listed among the world’s top-ten luxury tuners.
### 1. DNA & Positioning
WALD targets the **global high-end retrofit market**, sculpting body and soul for Century, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, AMG and Porsche. Its **VIP-style** triad of lines—**Executive** (board-room elegance), **Sports** (track-honed aggression) and **Black Bison Edition** (Black-Bison performance)—offers everything from aero-kits to full-vehicle commissions.
### 2. Design & Craft
- **Language**: chrome-spear hex-grilles, laser-cut diffusers; 2025 **Desert-Series Black Bison** delivers a two-state wide-body (off-road & asphalt) via a tri-layer front bumper and adjustable flares.
- **Materials**: millimetre-perfect 3-D scan fit, aerospace pre-preg carbon (–35 % mass, +40 % impact strength), flow-formed forged wheels tested 6-8 months to JWL & TÜV limits.
- **Certification**: TÜV, JWL, VIA plus China GB/T 26278-2021 compliance for street-legal peace of mind.
### 3. Technology & Portfolio
- **Power**: in-house ECU & valved exhaust lift the GLE 63 S to 720 PS and 0-100 km/h in 3.2 s.
- **Chassis**: KW co-developed 16-way dampers, AP Racing 6-pot 380 mm discs.
- **Intelligence**: the 2025 **WALD City S7** concept adds 360° AI monitoring, voice-CUE and adaptive air suspension.
Scene-specific packages—board-room Alphard, dune-ready LC300, Nürburgring-sharpened 911 GT3 RS—prove versatility without compromise.
### 4. Global Reach & Service
Thirty flagship outlets span Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America; 16 authorised centres in China alone. Clients configure in 3-D, enjoy a 2-year/50 000 km warranty (lifetime on select parts) and track-side support at events such as D1 GRAND PRIX.
### 5. Cultural Impact
From **Best Import** honours at Tokyo Auto Salon to Harvard case-study fame, WALD turns metal into mobile art. Through the **WALD MANIFESTO** cultural platform it collaborates with artists and designers, asserting that “we do not build cars—we create legends.”
