You might not imagine November being a big month for Speedhunting, but for many of us it’s one of busiest months of the year. Here’s what the team cleaned up from the cutting room floor in November. (Above) Another view of the fully restored XT in the Subaru booth at SEMA. Who else loves the [...]
With the Toyota 86 and the Subaru BRZ now unveiled to the public, it was time for the Scion version to have its moment in the spotlight. Tonight, in the heart of Hollywood, California, Scion put on an invite-only event to debut the fifth car in their line up, the FR-S. And here is the [...]
Before we move to part two of our Porsche Museum tour, I’m going to take you for a quick look around their gift shop. It’s filled with all sorts of Porsche rarities and is perfect fodder for any serious Porka memorabilia collector. The entrance to the Porsche Museum shop contains what must be the coolest [...]
To be honest, I don't know much about this car, other than it looks fantastic. I saw it at the SCCA Double National race back in July and snapped a few pictures of it, but no owners nearby. From what I can tell, it could be a Brabham BT21 Repco, I'm sure one of you [...]

Subaru has released a couple images of the production-spec BRZ just ahead of the car's debut at this week's Tokyo Motor Show. This should hold us over while we wait for Dino's coverage from the show floor. Overall the car looks very similar to the 86, with a few changes to the front fascia separating [...]

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from Rod, telling me that he was planning to join me during the Essen Motor Show. The last few years I have always been traveling alone to the Essen Motor Show, so this was a welcome change. The show gives a fairly accurate picture of the [...]
Unless you’re living in New Zealand and are enjoying the height of the D1NZ drift season, this time of year is slim pickings for us race fans. The sound of unhinged racing engines has fallen silent at motorsport venues across the world. Champions have been crowned, celebrations finished, and post mortems completed. For people like [...]
This past Sunday was hectic to say the least. Most of the day's schedule was going to be taken up by the 86 drive that Toyota had organized, but what about the Gazoo Racing Festival that was being held at Fuji Speedway at the same time? Surely I couldn't just show up there and ignore [...]
Sitting in the pits at the 86 test drive on Sunday was this lightly tuned version of the car for the press to check out. Sitting on 18-inch BBS wheels it was also wearing a subtle but effective aero package. Up front there are lower bumper add ons at each corner with an air guide [...]
With just a couple days left for our month-long collectables mini-theme, I wanted to share one more pair of cars that I recently added to my collection. The wife and I were doing some shopping at the Marukai grocery store in downtown Los Angeles when I slipped these two little boxes into the shopping cart [...]
It's not every day that you come across a Mazda 3 like this. While the 3 may be a popular Japanese family car, they're certainly few and far between when it comes to the drag strip. Initially, owner Kurt Scott only wanted a quick street car. But as is often the case, one thing led [...]
I would like to personally thank each and every one of you who have taken the time to fill out the 2011 Speedhunters Survey. While we have been operating the site based on instinctual observations for the past few years, having you tell us outright about your automotive lives has been a real eye-opening moment [...]
When first asked to help judge the NFS Euro Spokesmodel search, I jumped at the opportunity. In addition to helping out my friends in Team NFS, I was eager to share the experience of a lifetime with the spokesmodel candidates. Along the way, I met a lot of wonderful girls and I have to admit [...]
I'm very happy with the response the 86 Preview post has been getting over the last 24 hours. A lot of you seem to like it, while some not so much. But that is fine, such an anticipated model, in particular one that has such a big job to do, will always generate mixed feelings. [...]
