#carspottingblog Game Over: Cars with engines above 3,000cc can no longer be imported into Indonesia now. (and might be declared as non street-legal)

Updated: 09 Dec 2024

Yup. The nightmare has started folks. You can now say bye bye to any kind of new exotic cars in Indonesia.

This means, no AMG models, BMW M Models, Audi RS models, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsche 911 models, McLarens, Aston Martins and more. Certain luxury SUVs and sedans will also be affected.

Even though Indonesia had a nice share amount of exotics, it’s now game over. It’s also now all about time before cars with engines above 3,000cc were declared not street-legal (rumor), which would somehow only making JDM cars (e.g. Skyline GT-Rs and Supras) the only things that will still be street legal.

RIP Indonesian Exotic car scene ???-2018

If somehow cars above 3,000cc were declared not street-legal in Indonesia, these will be the only nice cars you can spot in Indonesia’s streets. JDMs will be the most (except 350Z, 370Z, R35 GT-R and NA2 NSX), as seen below. (A big difference and upside down as what used to be Indonesia’s car spotting scenery, which was exotics)

There are a few manufacturers that may be able to get through after reducing the displacement via a shorter stroke, and alfa Romeo doesn’t have engines bigger than 3 litres that I know of right now, but this regulation will really hurt the expensive car market in Indonesia

But Alfa Romeo had ceased operations in Indonesia.

They once sold the Alfa Romeo 4C but no one bought them! Your chance to see an Alfa Romeo in Indonesia is the older models, I’ve only seen a 1960s Giulia, a Duetto Spider and the 156.

I can only imagine that when this goes into effect, the upper class and government officials will keep their cars and even buy more cars (ex: Bugatti Chiron) though there is a “ban”
