The Genesis of Evesukso
Our Early Beginnings
“We honor both our founding (FND 2009) and establishment (EST 2024) dates to capture the full journey of our vision. Founded in 2009 by six-year-old me, Evesukso began as more than a dream—it was a calling, ignited by a boundless imagination and a drive to create something extraordinary. For over a decade, that vision evolved, gained depth, and strengthened with every design, every concept, and every new goal.
Officially established in 2024, when I was 20, we filed for paperwork to turn that childhood dream into a living reality. Recognizing both dates is essential to our story, honoring the years of ambition and growth that led to Evesukso’s launch. This journey isn’t just about building cars; it’s about building a legacy that’s rooted in passion, perseverance, and the promise of something greater.” - EJ
The Fateful Dream(s)
"As a child, my imagination often wandered to places that felt otherworldly, where the vibrant hues of purple oceans, green landscapes, and orange mountains stretched endlessly across a planet all my own—a planet that embodied freedom, speed, and endless horizons. This dream world, a hue-shifted extension of Earth. only 1 mile away, was where I first envisioned the name "Evesukso" and the concept of the Skiondis, a car like no other, sleek and powerful, with sharp lines and a unique color that glistened under ethereal lights. I remember the first time the name "Evesukso" echoed in my mind, feeling foreign yet perfectly fitting, sparking a passion that would grow and define my life’s journey. One particular dream, vivid in detail, placed me in an opulent car showroom with a vast red carpet underfoot, high-end cars surrounding me in gleaming rows, each illuminated by natural light streaming through expansive glass windows. Amidst the renowned luxury of brands like Porsche and Mercedes, there it was—the car of my dreams, unlike anything else I’d seen. This car embodied the essence of Evesukso, merging the imagination of my dream world with real-world craftsmanship and performance. The awe I felt wasn’t just admiration; it was a powerful sense of destiny, as though I was seeing the blueprint of a future I was meant to create. That dream became a compass, leading me not only to build a company dedicated to innovation and craftsmanship but to realize a legacy rooted in freedom, individuality, and community. In this journey, Evesukso is more than a brand; it’s an invitation to others to step into this imaginative world and experience the beauty, speed, and elegance of a car crafted not just to drive but to inspire..." - EJ
A Father’s Passion For Cars Passed Down
EJ’s passion for cars was deeply influenced by his father, who shared his love for high-performance vehicles. Growing up, EJ was surrounded by an impressive lineup, from Mercedes convertibles to the roaring Maserati GranTurismo, and later, a Ferrari California and a Lotus Elise. Each car became a chapter in their shared automotive journey, with EJ often behind the wheel, feeling the thrill of the raw power beneath him. The most cherished memories were made in these cars, especially the Porsche 911 Carrera and 718 Boxster GTS, which embodied the precision and elegance that EJ grew to admire. Trips to the Porsche dealership became a routine, where EJ’s excitement was fueled by Lauren, the welcoming front desk attendant who made every visit feel special.
Beyond their love for cars, EJ and his father were regular participants in the Rides to Remember charity event, where EJ’s father would give children battling illness the ride of a lifetime in his Ferrari. This event left a lasting impact on EJ, showing him that cars were more than just machines—they were a source of joy and unforgettable experiences. EJ himself got to ride in some of the most thrilling cars, including a stripped-out, straight-piped 350Z that gave him an adrenaline rush like never before. The roar of the engines and the smiles on the children’s faces solidified his belief that cars could create powerful, meaningful connections.
Another major influence on EJ’s journey was attending the Atlanta International Auto Show with his father, an annual tradition that allowed him to immerse himself in the latest automotive innovations. The futuristic designs and conversations with industry professionals sparked his imagination and desire to create something of his own. A pivotal moment came during the Porsche Cayman S launch in 2012, where EJ witnessed the perfect blend of design and engineering. These experiences, along with his father’s passion for performance and craftsmanship, laid the groundwork for Evesukso Automotive, driving EJ to build a brand that reflects the excitement, creativity, and precision he grew up admiring.
A Mother’s Love, and Arts & Crafts
“The car that inspired Evesukso was based on one of my favorite toy cars, a Hot Wheels 'Super Tsunami,' drawing its design from the legendary MK4 Toyota Supra. With the help of my mother, I painted this car a deep purple with a distinctive flame design on the side. This wasn't just any flame—it was an orange flame with a green border, a design that became symbolic for me. We used colorful nail polish for our painting sessions, turning each toy car into a unique masterpiece. These painting sessions were more than just a creative outlet—they were moments of bonding and storytelling. My mother would share her love for arts and crafts and tell stories about her late father, who shared the same passion for creating beautiful pieces. She often remarked that I had inherited his craftsmanship and determination to finish every project. These sessions were filled with laughter, learning, and a deepening bond, forming a mini lineup that symbolized the humble beginnings of Evesukso. Each toy car represented a different vision and potential future model for Evesukso, capturing the spirit of creativity and innovation that drives us to this day."

What does ‘Evesukso’ Mean?
The name, Evesukso (eev-sook-soh) was, believe it or not, nothing. purely a six-year-old’s gibberish. a fictional exotic car brand name chosen simply because it sounded cool and foreign to me.
However, Over time, its meaning has evolved tremendously. its a Japan-glish word that blends ‘Eve’ in English, and ‘Sukso’ which blends 2 words in Japanese:
咲く (Saku): Meaning "to bloom" or "to blossom", reflecting our flourishing nature.
速 (Soku): Meaning "speed". How fitting, right?
By blending these Japanese words with the structure of "Evesukso," we create 2 meaningful interpretations:
Eve-Saku: Combining "Eve" (beginning) with "Saku" (to bloom), it signifies "the beginning of the bloom" or "beginning of the blossoming era."
Eve-Soku: Combining "Eve" (beginning) with "Soku" (speed), it symbolizes "the dawn of speed."
Practical usage:
EvesUkso from "咲く" (SakU)
EvesuksO from "速" (SOku)
