Here on Speedhunters we're constantly striving to bring you new things, new cars, new events. But sometimes it's good to look back and appreciate just how we've got to where we are. It is easy to dismiss old cars as, well old . Odd-looking. Not exciting. But as soon as you get up close to something like this 1922 Aston Martin I think it's clear just how special and relevant they are. An invention that is now over 120 years old, the motor car quickly evolved to the stage where there...

While walking through one of the halls at the recent Essen Motor Show I was very surprised to see a bunch of rally cars from yester year. They were part of a display that celebrated 100 years of the Monte Carlo Rally. The Motor Show had selected a few cars that won the rally in its 100 years of existence. I've made a small selection of the cars present beginning with this Subaru Impreza. The Subaru on display was oddly enough not the one that won the 1997 Monte Carlo Rally. The car you see here...

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from Rod, telling me that he was planning to join me during the Essen Motor Show . The last few years I have always been traveling alone to the Essen Motor Show, so this was a welcome change. The show gives a fairly accurate picture of the different styles and scenes in Germany and was a good opportunity for Rod to see it in person for the first time. So after a small detour to pick Rod up at the Düsseldorf airport, we arrived at the giant convention center...

Unless you're living in New Zealand and are enjoying the height of the D1NZ drift season, this time of year is slim pickings for us race fans. The sound of unhinged racing engines has fallen silent at motorsport venues across the world. Champions have been crowned, celebrations finished, and post mortems completed. For people like me, this isn't necessarily a good thing. I absolutely love car racing in all its various forms, so any month without the smell of race fuel is not something to...

Those of you who frequent our Facebook page may have already caught this video of this incredible Bulgarian built Audi Quattro S1. Because of the massive reaction we received, we thought it would be rude not to share it with you here too. The turbocharged five cylinder song of the Quattro S1 has to be one of the best sounding forced induction engines. Turn your speakers way, way up. Sit back and enjoy ...

When I first saw this car in 2005 I instantly fell in love with how it looked and I had to have it. There were some basic mods like lowering springs, nice wheels, and some exhaust tips installed, and in my eyes, it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen....

Rod has already alluded to how important you, our readers, are to us. This month has seen a huge response both in the comments section and the Speedhunters' inbox with suggestions and tips for some really cool street cars and sleepers . One past Speedhunter contributor from Greece, Kostas Sidiras , was in touch to share this, well, absolutely mental Audi S3. Although the large front mount intercooler is a bit of a giveaway, the figures still leave me smiling. 0-100KM/H (62MPH) in 2.8 seconds...

The shadows are lengthening for the FIA European GT3 Championship, as the series draws to a close for 2011 with a pair of races at the legendary Zandvoort track in the Netherlands. Last month at the Slovakiaring Mercedes-Benz became the latest marque to win (with victories in both races in fact) and joined Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche as race winners this year. It shows just how close the racing has been – as usual – in GT3. So the focus now changes to the matter of the...

This car is arguably one of the most iconic cars from Scandinavia and probably one the most recognisable cars from the Gatebil events. Before travelling to Norway for the Gatebil Rudskogen event, this was the one car I lusted over and prayed to the automotive Gods that it would be present. I'll tell you this - if you think it looks insane in photos, you should try standing beside this beast. Some say that the car was built as a tribute of sorts to the legendary Group B Audi S1 but in my opinion...
