A lot of people don’t realise that Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring are only separated by around 65 miles of public road. So within the proverbial stone’s throw, you have arguably two of the greatest racing circuits on this planet. On one hand you have Spa, probably the greatest grand prix circuit there is [...]

Can you believe that it’s May already? I don’t know about you, but I’m really hoping we can adopt a 36 hour day sometime in the near future. There’s so much to be done, and so little time to do it. Thankfully, we can help you squeeze some Speedhunters into your life with one simple [...]
It was quite difficult to settle on a theme for this week’s exotic poll. These days, there are so many cars that blur the lines between performance car and supercar, so we decided to go back in time a little to an era where things were a little bit more clear cut. To kick off [...]
I like to spend my Sundays immersing myself in car culture. I like to sit down somewhere quiet, and take my time reading some of my favourite publications. If there’s live race coverage on the TV, I’ll try to factor that in as well. Last weekend though, I had a thought. What if the areas [...]

The recent launch of Porsche’s 991 GT3 has set pulses racing the world over. However, there was a slight sting in the tail of this announcement: this would be the first GT3 not offered with a traditional manual gearbox. Porsche has been quick to calm potential customers’ fears saying that the new PDK (Porsche Doppel-Kupplung) [...]

Looking back at the cars that made it on Speedhunters in March, the only thing most of them have in common is the fact they were featured here. It’s testament to our commitment to explore all areas of car culture around the globe. Where else will you see a ’29 Ford Model A and a [...]
This weekend, Formula 1 headed to Sepang Circuit for the second round of the 2013 season, and what unfolded was a race filled with both on-track drama and some very uncomfortable moments between team-mates. The biggest of these was of course between first and second place finishers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber of Red Bull [...]
As we continue with our selection of Americana-themed reader polls this month, it’s only appropriate that we square off the most iconic American V8s against each other. We’ve gathered up ten different V8s engines which span several different brands and over 80 years of automotive history. Which will rise to the top? That’s for you [...]
When I think of the pure awesomeness of America I first think of the usual stuff like bald eagles and apple pie. After that, I think of the SCCA Trans Am series circa about 1970. Was there ever a cooler and more exciting display of badass drivers and badass machines than these storied pony car [...]
As we speed through the month of March, getting closer and closer to the start of the “season” it’s time to stop and take a quick look back at the feature cars of February. From Lambos and McLarens to Datsuns and a ’32 Ford – it was another fine month of Speedhunting. Take a look [...]
As we wind down our tribute for front wheel drive cars this week, it’s only right that we finish up with FWD-themed reader poll. We’ve gathered up some of the most important, popular, and exciting front-driven vehicles in automotive history and now it’s time for you guys to pick the best. Which models made the [...]
In yesterday’s Evo 9 feature from Dubai, I talked a bit about how the Evo’s reputation was built in different parts of the world. Everything said about the Evo can also be applied to its rival the Subaru Impreza and I figured now would be as good a time as any for these two AWD [...]

For today’s weekly Speedhunters poll, the question is a simple one – forced induction or naturally aspirated? Which do you prefer? Is it the sound and power rush of a turbo or supercharger setup or the response of an NA engine? For the purposes of this poll, let’s just assume that horsepower and torque figures [...]

Starting off with a bang. I think will most will agree that’s a fitting way to sum up the selection of feature cars that appeared on Speedhunters during the month of January. Now that we more than 1/12 through the year 2013, it’s time for you guys to pick your favorite of the bunch. Take [...]
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 [...]
