San-Ei Co., Ltd. announces the release of the July 2026 issue of 'OPTION' magazine, available from May 26, 2026.

This issue features an extensive 80s tuning retrospective covering a wide range of vehicles, from sports cars to sedans and vans. It highlights various owner profiles—ranging from those fully engaging in grip and drift sessions to those dedicated to highlighting the original appeal of their vehicles.

Additionally, the issue fully records 'JDM Chronicle,' a content piece from 'Shin Motor Fan Festa 2026' held at Fuji Speedway. It includes coverage of vehicles from the 'RAYS Fan Meeting,' specifically featuring cars equipped with the 30th-anniversary Volk Racing TE37 wheels.

The mountain pass project, done in collaboration with V-OPT, is set at Mount Haruna. Professional drivers provide full-throttle impressions of the latest demo cars from tuning parts manufacturers.
