THE THOROUGHBRED: FERRARI F40 LM

THE THOROUGHBRED: FERRARI F40 LM

Wait a second. We’ve had our little Supercar theme and we haven’t even posted a Ferrari? Sacrilege! So, as one final treat to you, and knowing that we would be dedicating a few days to exotics of all sorts, there were a few pictures of one particular car from last weekend’s Ferrari Racing Days event [...]

BLUE THUNDER: THE MASERATI MC12 CORSA

BLUE THUNDER: THE MASERATI MC12 CORSA

Simple question. If you were given the choice, what one ultimate driver’s car would you choose? Of course money would be no object, we are right in the middle of our Supercar Theme so it’s a time to not only look at some pretty wild cars, but also a time for us all to dream [...]

UNOBTAINIUM MAXIMUS: THE BUGATTI VEYRON

UNOBTAINIUM MAXIMUS: THE BUGATTI VEYRON

Unless you live in the Principality of Monaco, even seeing a Veyron out in the open is a rarity in itself. I’ve only ever spotted one on the streets of Tokyo, the rest only seen at motor shows. Ever since its introduction in 2005 it has redefined what hypercars are all about, offering never before [...]

RELENTLESS EVOLUTION: 2013 NISSAN GT-R

RELENTLESS EVOLUTION: 2013 NISSAN GT-R

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 [...]

AN EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW OF THE MCLAREN P1

AN EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW OF THE MCLAREN P1

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 [...]

A CLASS OF ITS OWN: THE BMW M6

A CLASS OF ITS OWN: THE BMW M6

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 [...]

LIBERTY WALK + A VENT + A DOOR = INSANITY

LIBERTY WALK + A VENT + A DOOR = INSANITY

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 [...]

FEATURE, FEATURE, FEATURE. MY 2012.

FEATURE, FEATURE, FEATURE. MY 2012.

  There are plenty of different ways I could do this, but as some of my fellow new Speedhunters have opened with a discussion about how amazing it is here, a point on which we all agree, I’ll move on. As part of my year end indulgences I’m going to discuss the breadth of car [...]

MEMOIRS OF A SPEEDHUNTER: THE LOST FERRARI

MEMOIRS OF A SPEEDHUNTER: THE LOST FERRARI

As I sit here typing up this post I can’t help but look back at this year with a fair amount of shock at the way it passed by with blistering pace. Time is of course concrete in our human definition, yet entirely fluid in our brain’s ability to recollect it. It seems like only [...]

FLYING SOLO, IN THE BAC MONO…

FLYING SOLO, IN THE BAC MONO…

I believe the BAC Mono is what people call a game changer. It certainly is for me. Because what you’re looking at it is very much a road car. A wonderfully focused, exquisitely engineered and executed road car. For one person (at a time) to enjoy. Underneath that bespoke centre exit exhaust, mounted on one [...]

RAGING BULL: THE AVENTADOR

RAGING BULL: THE AVENTADOR

This is the most beautiful car I have shot this year. Period. It’s not very often that the top of the line bull gets a complete makeover, it’s a rare occurrence, a time span usually measured in decades rather than years. So when I got the chance this summer to immortalize Sant’Agata Bolognese’s latest creation, [...]

THE LUXURY ROCKET: NISSAN GT-R EGOIST

THE LUXURY ROCKET: NISSAN GT-R EGOIST

Let me get the clichés out of the way first. The GT-R is an incredible feat of engineering, it’s a physics-defying tool from the PlayStation generation, packed with as much technology as the Space Shuttle, allowing any ham-fisted driver to look like a pro behind the wheel. Ahhh, that’s better! Right, let’s forget about all [...]

WIDER IS BETTER, THE CRAZY JDM WIDEBODY LAMBO

WIDER IS BETTER, THE CRAZY JDM WIDEBODY LAMBO

Art is one of the most diverse words in all of the English language, and it’s certainly one of my favorites. If you ask a dozen people what they consider art, you’ll likely get a dozen different answers. That’s the beautiful thing about art, it’s completely subjective. Many have said that cars cannot be art, [...]

PORSCHE 962C PROWLS THE STREETS

PORSCHE 962C PROWLS THE STREETS

Ever hear the saying “only in Japan?” Well if that doesn’t apply to this particular car, well I really don’t know what does! I’m just going to go ahead and assume that everyone reading this has seen the film that MotorHead magazine produced of this crazy street-registered Porsche 962C and move swiftly along to that [...]

WHEN AWD JUST WON’T DO: BENSOPRA GT-R

WHEN AWD JUST WON’T DO: BENSOPRA GT-R

This white R35 GT-R is probably one of the most easily recognized Japanese demo cars of 2012, a car that over the years has been displayed at Tokyo Auto Salon through its, very ambitious, development process. This was supposed to become Ken Nomura’s next D1 Grand Prix drift machine, a beast capable of unleashing a [...]
