{{Nihongo|'''HKS Co., Ltd.'''|株式会社エッチ・ケー・エス|Kabushiki-gaisha Ecchi Kē Esu}} is a publicly traded company headquartered in [[Fujinomiya, Shizuoka|Fujinomiya]], [[Shizuoka Prefecture]], [[Japan]] specializing in the engineering, manufacturing, and sales of high performance [[Automotive aftermarket|aftermarket]] and accessory automotive parts and components. With 50 years in business, and global efforts in aftermarket parts and motorsport, the company claims, "HKS is perhaps the most known aftermarket brand in the world".<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=About Us {{!}} HKS High Performance Auto Parts |url=https://www.hksusa.com/about |access-date=2023-01-19 |website=www.hksusa.com}}</ref>
==History==
HKS was formed in 1973 by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, a former engineer for [[Yamaha Motor Company]], and his partner Goichi Kitagawa, while the start up capital was supplied by [[SARD|Sigma Automotive]] (hence the name HKS). The company began operations by tuning gasoline engines in a dairy-farming shed at the foot of [[Mount Fuji]]. Their goal was to design and build high performance engines and components that major original equipment manufacturers could not, or would not, produce.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
In July 1974, Hasegawa engineered and built the first commercialized [[turbocharger]] kit for passenger automobiles. Since then HKS has been developing turbocharger upgrades and bolt-on turbocharger kits that subsequently became the company's core business. HKS also created the first commercially available electronic turbo timer and boost controller, and also pioneered piggy-back fuel computers and aftermarket fuel management tools.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=HKS HISTORY |url=https://www.hks-global.com/en/history/index.html |access-date=2022-12-27 |website=www.hks-global.com}}</ref><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |date=2006-03-11 |title=Area HKS - Import Tuner Magazine |url=https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/0603-impp-area-hks/ |access-date=2023-02-15 |website=MotorTrend |language=en}}</ref>
In 1984, HKS brought in the [[Nara (city)|Nara]]-based tuning and service shop Twin Power Co., Ltd. under the new name of HKS Kansai Service Co., Ltd. as an affiliated partner with HKS. The shop served as a service center, tuning partner, parts distributor, and R&D partner for HKS. In 2002, HKS Kansai Service became a major suspension overhaul and servicing center for HKS suspension customers. HKS Kansai Service also gained their own accolades and accomplishments in motorsport and even began developing their own aftermarket parts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=会社概要｜株式会社 Kansaiサービスオフィシャルサイト |url=https://www.kansaisv.co.jp/aboutus/index.html |access-date=2023-02-15 |website=www.kansaisv.co.jp}}</ref> In 2010, the official affiliation came to a close and the company was renamed to Kansai Service Co., Ltd. but it still maintains a good working relationship with HKS.<ref>{{Cite web |title=歴史｜株式会社 Kansaiサービスオフィシャルサイト |url=https://www.kansaisv.co.jp/aboutus/history.html |access-date=2023-02-15 |website=www.kansaisv.co.jp}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Siu |first=Jason |date=Jan 14, 2010 |title=Tokyo Auto Salon 2010: HKS Kansai Service Alive and Well |url=https://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/01/tokyo-auto-salon-2010-hks-kansai-service-alive-and-well.html}}</ref>
In July 1984, HKS built a new factory in Kamiide, Fujinomiya, not far from the site of the original shop at the Mount Fuji dairy-farming shed. In April 1985, HKS built an additional factory in Kitayama specifically for muffler production for both HKS and on consignment. In 2003, the first HKS Technical Factory was established in [[Toda, Saitama]] and later another was established in [[Sapporo]].<ref name=":5" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=ショップ情報｜TF｜HKSテクニカルファクトリー |url=https://www.hks-tf.co.jp/toda/shop/index.html |access-date=2023-02-15 |website=www.hks-tf.co.jp}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=ショップ情報 {{!}} TF札幌｜HKSテクニカルファクトリー |url=https://www.hks-tf.co.jp/sapporo/shop/index.html |access-date=2023-02-15 |website=www.hks-tf.co.jp}}</ref> These technical factories serve as HKS-owned service, tuning, and development centers, as well as offering the sale of select HKS complete vehicles and parts.<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |title=SERVICE CENTER & AFFILIATES |url=https://www.hks-global.com/en/company/servicecenter.html |access-date=2023-02-15 |website=www.hks-global.com}}</ref> Additionally, a dedicated HKS Service Center was also established in [[Kitakyushu]].

The subsidiary HKS USA was originally established in 1982 but shut down operations in 2011, with HKS electing instead to use wholesale distributors to handle their supply chain in the USA.

==Motorsport==
Since the 1980s, HKS has competed in many forms of motorsports including [[Time trial|time attack]], [[drag racing]], [[Japanese Touring Car Championship|JTCC]], [[JGTC]], [[All-Japan Formula Three Championship|F3]], [[D1 Grand Prix]], [[Superbikes]], plus many others. They also sponsor many racers to carry the HKS name and to become part of the HKS team.

=== Time attack and speed records ===
Since 1983, HKS has been heavily involved in developing and racing cars for setting both [[Time trial|time attack]] and [[speed record]]s. In 1983, HKS developed the HKS M300, a highly tuned [[Toyota Supra#First generation (A40/A50; 1978)|Toyota Celica XX]] with a twin-turbocharged [[Toyota M engine#5M-GE|5M-GE]] engine, to set speed records. The M300 became the first ever Japanese automobile to exceed 300 km/h (186.41 mph) with a speed record of 301.25 km/h (187.19 mph) at the Yatabe proving grounds in 1983.<ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=First and Forgotten: HKS M300 |url=https://www.carthrottle.com/post/popj35z/ |access-date=2023-02-08 |website=Car Throttle |date=26 November 2017 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Hsu |first=Ben |date=2015-10-23 |title=TBT: HKS M300 Toyota Celica XX |url=https://japanesenostalgiccar.com/tbt-hks-m300-toyota-celica-xx/ |access-date=2023-02-08 |website=Japanese Nostalgic Car |language=en-US}}</ref>
In 1993, the HKS T-001, a modified [[Toyota Supra#Fourth generation (A80; 1993)|Toyota Supra (A80)]], was developed for time attack and speed trials. It produced over 730 ps (720 hp), reached 344 km/h (214 mph), and set a lap time at the [[Tsukuba Circuit]] of 1 minute 1.97 seconds.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Toyota GR Supra Drift by HKS {{!}} EVENT/CAMPAIGN {{!}} HKS |url=https://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/event/toyota_grsupra_drift/index.html |access-date=2023-02-08 |website=www.hks-power.co.jp}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=HKS T-001 JZ80 MKIV Toyota Supra Development Video | date=15 March 2008 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjB5KGyqKeE |language=en |access-date=2023-02-08}}</ref>[[File:Osaka Auto Messe 2019 (546) - HKS T-002.jpg|thumb|HKS T-002 [[Nissan Skyline GT-R#Fourth generation (1995–1998)|R33 Skyline GT-R]], lap record breaker at [[Tsukuba Circuit|Tsukuba]]]]In 1995, the team began testing with the HKS T-002, a specially tuned [[Nissan Skyline GT-R#Fourth generation (1995–1998)|Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33)]].

The next HKS time attack vehicle, the HKS TRB-01 (an internal codename for "Tsukuba Record Breaker"), also known as the HKS Racing Altezza, was launched at the 2000 Tokyo Auto Salon. It was a tuned [[Lexus IS#First generation (XE10; 1998)|Toyota Altezza]] producing over 600 hp with extensive weight-saving, aerodynamic, and handling methods taken. It went on to set a new lap record at the Tsukuba Circuit of 55.85 seconds, driven by Nobuteru Taniguchi.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-04-22 |title=HKS Toyota Altezza |url=https://www.motortrend.com/features/hks-toyota-altezza/ |access-date=2023-02-08 |website=MotorTrend |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Paris |first=Kevin |date=2018-10-19 |title=Reclaiming the Throne: HKS |url=https://medium.com/@kevin_34602/reclaiming-the-throne-hks-5d578594549f |access-date=2023-02-08 |website=Medium |language=en}}</ref>
The HKS TRB-02, a time attack [[Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution#Evolution VIII|Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII]], was developed in 2003. Taniguchi set a lap record at Tsukuba in 2003 of 55.00 seconds and in 2004 of 54.73 seconds.

For the [[List of motorsport championships#Time Trial or Time Attack Racing|World Time Attack Challenge]] from 2014 to 2016, HKS developed the HKS GT1000+ [[Nissan GT-R|Nissan GT-R R35]]. As the name implies, the GT1000+ produces over 1000 ps at 1200 ps (1183 hp).
