HISTORY

Founder Kazuhiko "Smokey" Nagata began

his career as a mechanic for Toyota as their
youngest employee. He then became a tuner
and fabricator at Trust/GReddy. As he began
using the Trust shop for his own personal
projects in 1978, the name "Top Secret" was
born, as a nickname for his discreet work at
the Trust facility. His employers allowed this
to continue as Nagata was a highly skilled
employee and valuable asset to the
company.
 A recognizable feature of many Top
Secret tuned cars are their gold paint
schemes. Only cars that Nagata deem to
be the best and most accomplished
projects that represent the epitome of
the Top Secret tuning philosophy receive
this special gold paint scheme.

Top Secret became independent from

Trust in 1991 and set up their own shop
in Chiba. In 1993, the company began
exhibiting at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

Top Secret won the 2007 Tokyo Auto

Salon Championship with its "Final
Evolution" V12 twin turbo Toyota Supra.
At the 2017 Tokyo Auto Salon.
 In 2008 at the Nardò Ring in Italy it’s
about 7.8-mile-long (12.5 Km), the Top
Secret V12 Supra set a top speed of
222.6 mph, powered by a swapped
1GZ-FE with dual HKS GT2835 ball
bearing turbochargers and tuned to 930
hp and 745 lb-ft of torque.
