Hot wheels expo set to rev up with art and music
Porsche 911 GT3 RS cars wrapped to replicate the Hot Wheels vehicles that will be showcased at Art of Speed Malaysia 2025 at MAEPS in Serdang, Selangor from July 26 to 27. — YAP CHEE HONG/The Star BRENDON Vetuskey, a celebrated toy designer from the United States, is set to energise the Hot Wheels Collectors Convention Malaysia at Art of Speed Malaysia (AOS) 2025. AOS is an annual event showcasing various artwork formats in an automotive setting. AOS 2025 – which takes place on July 26 and 27 at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) – marks the third year of collaboration with Hot Wheels, a popular scale model car series. More than 20 international guests from the custom vehicle and creative media scene would be making appearances at the event, continuing the organiser's efforts to promote knowledge- sharing and community building. AOS this year will feature a diverse showcase of custom culture exhibitions, global guests and activities suitable for all ages. New additions to this year's event include a World of Wheels exhibition presented by a special outdoor photo studio for cars and an indoor photo studio for motorcycles — with the latter two offering a chance for owners to have their vehicles professionally photographed. 'This year, we've replaced the usual lucky draw with a 'Kembara Passport' game, in which participants need to complete activities, collect stamps and spin the wheel for a prize,' said AOS Malaysia founder Asep Ahmad Iskandar. Asep says AOS creates a bridge that connects automotive, music and art communities. 'This way, everyone goes home with a gift. 'Some lucky participants will even win trips abroad to countries such as Indonesia, Japan and Thailand,' he said during a press conference at Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort, Kuala Lumpur. Asep said AOS started in 2012 as a small show aimed at bringing like-minded communities together. 'We wanted to create a bridge between different communities. 'Since then, we have built a space that connects the dots from motorcycles to music to art, bringing these different creative communities under one roof. 'We believe art exists in everything and through that, we found a way to bring people together and that is how the name Art of Speed was created.' A 'SoundCircus Takeover' music event will be held at Hall A as part of the two-day AOS 2025. It will feature performers such as Noh Salleh and Restore Iboe, Romantic Echoes, Ruffedge, Luqman Podolski, Fugo and Langkawi Dub Club Sound-System. An online early bird special for AOS tickets is available for a limited time, with the weekend pass priced at RM35 and Sunday pass at RM40. Both passes are priced at RM50 each for walk-ins. Entry is free for children below 12 years old and disabled (OKU) card holders. For tickets and details, visit

So be ready to get your pistons knocking because it's going to be one heck of a ride (or drive). Three custom motorcycles by three legendary builders At a press conference yesterday (3 July), AOS founder and director Asep Ahmad Iskandar highlighted three custom motorcycle masterpieces that will be on display at the event this year. These custom machines, built and designed by their skilled owners, truly stand out among other bikes. They work on their bikes out of passion, and inspire others in the process. The first of them is Yuichi Yoshizawa of Custom Works Zon, with his BMW R18 'Ground 0', which made its debut at the Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2023 where it was unveiled for the first time. If you like what you see, AOS 2025 is where you'll get the chance to check it out up close! The next one in the trio is Masa Sugihara from Luck MC, who is bringing his custom Harley-Davidson Knucklehead chopper to the show this year. A legend in the Japanese custom motorcycle scene, Sugihara's custom chopper features a sleek, streamlined design and minimalist styling he has come to be known for. Last but not least is Australia's Ben Forster a.k.a. @benflathead who is stopping by the show with his custom Harley-Davidson Flathead. His machine boasts intricate carvings on its Harley v-twin Flathead engine itself and the best way to view it is up close, at AOS 2025. Remember, these are just some of the awesome machines you'll get to see at the event. There will be many more custom bikes and cars by some of the most talented builders in Malaysia and around the globe. If you want more, AOS is bringing back Show and Shine with even more cars and bikes. There will be a variety of cars and clubs ranging from classic to contemporary, as well as international entries from other countries. What's new at AOS 2025?
