American Touge is a racing-focused story that brings the thrill of touge battles to the biggest automotive setting in the world: Southern California.
Author Alejandro Adam crafted American Touge with a focus on authenticity, paying close attention to accurately portraying real cars and driving techniques. The story focuses on canyon racing, but also features track racing, drag racing, and drifting.
The early 2000s marked the peak of analog sports cars and the height of tuner and import culture in America, making it the perfect era for a story centered on cars and racing.
The story showcases the diversity of American car culture. From Japanese to American to European machines; from daily drivers to high-end exotics. Cars in the book range from a Honda Civic Si to a Ford Mustang Terminator, all the way up to a Lamborghini Murciélago.

DownloadAs a longtime JDM fan, I have always wished for a story like Initial D but set in America. Something clearly focused on cars and racing, without turning into an action movie or a soap opera that has little to do with cars.
Over the years, while waiting for something like this to appear, I started working on my own vision: a story that blends the diversity of American car culture with the spirit of Japanese racing from the JDM golden era, the ’90s. American Touge is the result. A realistic, racing-focused story that brings the thrill of canyon battles to Southern California during peak car culture era, the early 2000s.
I hope this vision resonates with you and that you decide to form part of this journey with me.
