Rewind: The Cars Of October

Having half the Speedhunters team in Las Vegas for the annual SEMA Show can only mean one thing – we’ve made it to November!

Given it’s the SEMA season there are some big feature car stories planned for the days and weeks ahead, but before we lay those on for you we need to take one final look back at October. Below you’ll find the 12 feature cars that made up the 10th month of 2014 – and they’re an eclectic bunch of machines too!

Once you’ve caught up on any features you might have missed (clink the links to be directly taken to the story) let us know which car was your favourite in the comments section at the bottom of the page…

Oh my god, there are so many options. The only ones that I dont like too much are the Kudzzilla and the Ratbant. The rest are all amazing and awesome. I cant decide between the finnish Audi, because im from Finland myself and the hp/liter number is just out of control, The Common Snapper S30Z, because its the best looking car, even though its a got a Wankel heart, and the Speed Industries Impreza, because its simplicity and performance in a great looking package. Also Anti-Lag. BoomBoom

@Teebaz i know your pain!

10

Ratbant!!!! :D

11

I'm in love with the TVR. So it gets my vote.... Also, will speedhunters be bringing back the poll voting?

12

I enjoyed reading about Shun Ohgishi's garage in Shiga and of his Honda Life Step Van. It was also fun reading about American-style hot rods in Japan with the feature on Kudzilla.
But I think the article that I found myself most fortunate to have read was about the Weld FR-S. This particular build was very inspiring to me. Also, the pictures in this feature keep you wanting to read more.

13

Speed Industries Impreza,  Speed Industries Impreza, and just  Speed Industries Impreza :p

14

I'm gonna choose the TVR. That one is one of a kind!

16

^Gotta side with this.

18

I will choose Varis Subie Imprezza. I mean look at the mod, its awesome and very JDM!!

19

I can't choose just one.......

21

Weld FR-S. The thing is a work of art. no fucks given.

22

20B Nissan S30z! I like the difference from the mainstream ones!

23

Apart from the auto box (which is forgivable as it's a demo car) the Varis WRX takes it for me. Not to diminish any of the others, it's just that the overall look appeals to me.

24

TVR without a doubt!

25

The RS6-R. It's just crazy, in all the right ways.

26

The GC8 STi

27

The Ratbant or Kudzzilla!

28

Altezza

29

The little Honda, you just don't see that kind of car elsewhere in the world.

30

TVR

31

For me The ABT RS6-R. I have daughters and I think that would be the best way to carry them around without losing style and aggressiveness. Although all these cars are spectacular in form and function.

32

Ratbant, because it's just different, and the last car in this world that you would expect to be modified.

33

The abt rs6 is the car is take first hands down. Perfect car perfectly modified. And the red carbon.....

34

As a parent, the ABT RS6. Hands down, the baddest family car ever. To paraphrase what I said in the comments, I'll take mine in a semi matte combat grey colour (like a B-1B bomber) with black carbon.
As a hoon, the TVR Sagaris... Seriously, I've loved that car from when it was first bequeathed upon the world. Side firing exhaust and all.

35

the weld frs. i love the way they did to the engine ..

I love the Weld FR-S but the 20B S30Z just takes the cake for me, the 20B is one of my all time favourite powerplants, and the S30 is one of my favourite cars.

Anti lagging impreza.. childhood dreams

Bring back the poll

44

Speed Industries GC8 Impreza for me!
