If you are interested in cars there’s a good chance you’ve dreamed about this scenario. You wake up in the morning, have a cup a coffee and walk out into your backyard. Of course it’s not really a backyard but a giant workshop and a big storage yard loaded up with race cars, stacks [...]

Back in the late 1980s before the term “viral video” even existed, Peugeot released an amazing short film called Climb Dance. The professionally produced film featured the company’s legendary 405 T16 GR during its victorious charges up Pikes Peak. As part of Peugeot’s return to Pikes Peak this year, Climb Dance has been remastered and re-released. Nearly 25 years later, the film absolutely stands the test of time. It’s simple and to the point, and perfectly conveys the madness that was Pikes Peak in the ’80s.
Watch and enjoy.

One of the most fascinating things about working as a Speedhunter is taking a look at the way different types of cars are interpreted across the world. A car with a massive following in one part of world might be virtually unknown in another – and that’s most certainly the case with Famoso Speed Shop’s [...]
As car enthusiasts, I’d say there are generally two different ways in which we acquire new vehicles. First off, there’s the traditional route where we have a specific model we seek out – often looking at numerous examples and doing much contemplation before we decide to hand over our hard-earned money for the right car. [...]
When Lamborghini unveiled the Veneno a couple months ago, that car seemed like the ultimate symbol of what the company is capable of in terms of technology and design. Well, with the new Egoista Concept unveiled this weekend as part of the brand’s 50th anniversary celebration, Lamborghini may have outdone themselves. Lamborghini describes the car [...]
As you might know, Wörthersee is much more than just a gathering of the crazed folks from the European dub scene. The VW Audi Group itself plays a big part in the event and often uses it as the place to debut some of its most exciting new cars and concepts. Among the debuts this [...]
When I set out last Saturday to round up some cars for a Spotlight-O-Rama post from Toyotafest, I wasn’t specifically looking for a selection of vintage cars. But as I made my way around the show, it just seemed that all the cars drawing my interest were from the 1980s and earlier. I guess the [...]
Am I alone in thinking that seat swaps are some of the funnest motorsport-related videos to watch? In this clip, BMW Motorsport got together 2012 DTM champ Bruno Spengler and 1989 DTM champ Roberto Ravagila with their pair of M3s for a little fun at Hockenheim.
The whole thing is pretty interesting, but the sound of the E30 alone makes this video worth a watch!

It could just be a coincidence of course, but for whatever the reason, this year’s Toyotafest seemed bigger and better than ever. The feeling was evident [...]
I’ve talked in the past about how some of my favorite events to cover are the ones that feature a wide variety of cars. I think you’ll agree with me that as much as you might like a certain model of car, seeing 50 identical ones in a row can get boring pretty quickly. It [...]
