I know this is a pretty bold statement, but this is probably going to be the coolest thing you see all day. Hell, if you’re a Porsche fanatic like myself, it might be the coolest car you see all month. What I’m talking about is the legendary Urban Outlaw Magnus Walker’s latest creation, the car [...]
Both Paddy and myself pretty much died and went to heaven when we saw the trio of quattro cars at Ultimate Dubs last weekend. The vehicles owned by James Dorey, Dave Rowe and Hamish White have all been home-built. A truly mind blowing amount of dedication has been put into these Audis and I am [...]
Don’t blame it on us if we come across as being repetitive, but it’s actually Nissan’s fault. It seems Mizuno-san and the R35 development team weren’t joking when, back in 2007, they announced the GT-R would continue to be fine tuned until the very last year of its production. So here we are, six years on [...]
One of my favorite things about the Speedhunters universe is the vast diversity of content that gets presented on this site. In fact, I still check out Speedhunters every day just to see what kind of cool stuff my colleagues are getting up to. The great thing about having such a wide range of cars [...]
As a FWD Honda owner and enthusiast, I really hope you guys out there are enjoying our FF mini-theme like I have. For the rest of you, at least it’s almost over! In America I’d argue that the Honda Civic is probably one of, if not the, most-tuned Japanese vehicle around; and as such, often [...]
Don’t worry, I will not be launching into any chat about that terrible runaway train movie* with Denzel Washington and that dude out of My Name Is Earl. No, this is an Unstoppable story of a different kind. This is a much more interesting one that features a Volkswagen Golf GTi and a guy named [...]
The Audi TT-RS racecar which tackled the Thunderhill 25 Hours at the end of last year in the hands of Calfornia-based 034Motorsport looked standard enough, mighty wings aside. There have been TT racers before, after all. But wasn’t it missing a badge? One beginning with Q? Ending in O? ‘Uattr’ in the middle? I hope [...]
There are a few cars in the world that completely transcend the automotive genre – cars that absolutely anyone can recognise, whether or not they are car geeks. Ignore supercars, as they’re a false-positive when it comes to judging true popularity. I’m talking about cars that the average person on any given global street would [...]
I’ll admit it. I’m guilty of having ignored the Porsche Boxster. I’m not one to usually to do this sort of thing, but I let the somewhat questionable image the car had developed get the better of me. I was always aware of the fact it was a revered driver’s car, but its somewhat unmasculine [...]
McLaren’s P1 is getting closer and close to the final production version following its dramatic reveal at last year’s Paris Motor Show. Over the following months, new images have been slowly trickling out of the McLaren Technology Centre, taunting us with more and more little details. Getting access to the car itself seemed virtually impossible [...]
I’ve been pondering on how to approach the BMW M6′s review for about a month now. Munich’s latest M-powered super-coupe has left me deeply impressed but at the same time a little confused. I say this because if you think about it there really isn’t a car out on the market right now that compares. And [...]
BMW have undertaken a major change of platform for their 2013 North American sportscar campaign – the latest chapter in an illustrious history on the continent that stretches back over 40 years. Ahead of the introduction of the E80 next year, the outgoing E92 M3 model has been honourably retired after four seasons on point [...]
The Group A era, from the 1980s through to the 1990s, gave us a lot to be thankful for. On racetracks and rally special stages all over the world, fans were treated not only to some of the best racing ever seen, but afterwards, if they wished, they could drive the cars home. Not the [...]
Lamborghini is unquestionably one of the most fascinating car manufacturers around, with a brand identity unlike any other. You’d be hard pressed to come across someone who hasn’t heard of them or who couldn’t do a crude drawing of their favorite Lambo, yet very few people will ever actually own one. Their reputation therefore is [...]
There’s naturally a direct link between the cars that I had as toys and model kits as a child in the ’80s and the cars that still stop me dead in my tracks today. I loved my 1/43rd rallycars (Audis, Saabs, Lancias), my 1/32nd Peugeot 205 T16, Matchbox Porsche K3s and fleet of F1 cars. [...]
