Rocket Bunny

Drift tuner shop · Japan

Pandem's wilder sibling. Where the cars stop being subtle.

TRA Kyoto's show-focused sub-brand. Same shop as Pandem, different aesthetic, duck tails, swan-neck wings, eye-watering paint. The part of Kei Miura's catalogue that lives at SEMA and on YouTube, not on the practice-day grid.

Rocket Bunny is TRA Kyoto’s original widebody brand; the drift-focused Pandem line came later as its overfender sister. Same founder, same workshop, different aesthetic vocabulary, where Pandem stays edge-of-paddock practical, Rocket Bunny goes to the festival energy of widebody display cars.

The defining visual signatures are the duck-tail trunk lid, the swan-neck rear wing and the exaggerated overfender curves designed to read across a film camera. Famous Rocket Bunny builds, the BMW E92 V2 kit, the FRS / 86 widebody, the FT86 V1 with the orange paint that landed on every car magazine cover in 2013, became reference objects for show-car culture far beyond drift.

The line still sells globally and almost every car-show in the world has a Rocket Bunny build at the entrance. In drift specifically the language has filtered down: even competition cars now wear show-car-coded fitment because Rocket Bunny established it as a paddock norm.
