As we close out our celebration of machines from the 1980s, it’s only natural that this week’s poll reflects our focus on the decade of excess. After a lengthy discussion behind the scenes, the Speedhunters crew has come up with a list of 25 performance cars which we think best define the ’80s. It’s a [...]
Now that GM has taken the wraps off the all new C7 Corvette, it’s only natural that comparisons would be drawn between it and the new SRT Viper. For this week’s poll, we thought we’d ask you guys which of these two modern American brutes has excited you the most. While the “standard” 450 horsepower [...]
With as busy as we’ve been over here in Japan lately, it seems like Tokyo Auto Salon was ages ago. In reality it’s been just a week since the show closed, and to finish out our coverage it’s only proper that we poll you guys on your favorite car of the show. Here are eight [...]
With Tokyo Auto Salon fully underway today, we thought we’d do as we did at SEMA and ask you guys what it is you look forward to most about TAS. Auto Salon is a massively popular event both in Japan and abroad, and there are plenty of reasons why. Is it the traditional Japanese tuner [...]

As we kick off 2013, I thought it would be fitting to do as we did last year and begin with a poll and discussion about our automotive resolutions for the new year. Surely everyone must have some sort of car-related goal for 2013. Is it buying a new car? Finishing a project? Attending a [...]

Your votes have been counted and the final nominations for the inaugural 2012 Speedhunters Photo of the Year award have been decided. These nominations were chosen by you, and ultimately you will decide the best photograph taken by a Speedhunter in 2012. When deciding how to cast your vote, ask yourself why each photograph deserves your vote. Try to consider the concept of each image along with how it was executed. Let the voting commence…
Without doubt, this was pretty much the most difficult thing I’ve ever had the misfortune of doing as a Speedhunter. When we kicked off the #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER program earlier in the year, submissions were few and far between and quality was generally lacking. However, as the weeks rolled on the numbers picked up but the quality absolutely exploded. Trying to narrow down the thousands of awesome submissions to just fifteen has been quite taxing. If you haven’t made it, don’t be disheartened. You were probably closer to being nominated than you’ll ever know, it was that close. Chins up and keep shooting. For now, here are the nominations…
For all the photography connoisseur out there, this is the one you have been waiting for – the inaugural Speedhunters Photo of the Year award. This award is for the photographs taken by the Speedhunters for Speedhunters. This is quite a vast category so we need your help to narrow down the selection until we arrive at our ten final photographs.
We’ve kept this as straightforward as possible where each Speedhunter has submitted five of his favourite images of 2012. It’s up to you to choose your favourite image by each photographer, so you will be voting more than once. Remember that you’re voting on the photography, rather than the subject. The Speedhunters themselves will be presented in alphabetical (by surname) order, with the first five in this post and the last five in round two. Let’s get this under way shall we…
Pure and clean, old school styles, high on drag or low on ride, we now journey back in time to the early ’70s and beyond in search of the ultimate classics and the award for Oldtimer Car Of The Year. The Singer 911 SoCal is becoming a hotbed for 911 builds, particularly strong in old [...]
Putting the speed in Speedhunters, our motorsport coverage in 2012 was as varied as ever. The nominations for this award have been compiled by taking the top ten most popular motorsport events (based on the largest volumes of web traffic through our doors) and adding in five wildcards which we believed were worthy of nomination. The nominations are …
Next up in our awards voting – Show of the Year. Now “car show” is a fairly ambiguous term, but for the purpose of the 2012 Speedhunters Awards we are defining shows as the large scale indoor events for the automotive, motorsports, classic, aftermarket industries as well as national level modified and custom car scenes.
