I’ll start with an apology. Ultimate Stance 2024 was almost a month ago, so this gallery is overdue. But there’s a good reason for the delay, so bear with me. Ultimate Stance is known in the UK for three things: a diverse range of show cars, a lively atmosphere, and, most importantly, marking the end […]
2024 Intro A couple of weeks ago, we revisited a Mk3 Volkswagen Golf, featuring all-wheel-drive and a Precision 6266 turbocharged VR6 engine, pushing over 550whp. True to the spirit of Gatebil, this Golf was engineered for all-out performance. For this week’s throwback post, we’re revisiting a different type of Golf build. In fact, in the world […]
Expressways, motorways, highways, or autobahns – whatever you call them, they all lead to adventure. These roads connect cities, carve through landscapes, and offer drivers the freedom to travel. But wherever there’s a great road, there’s likely to be a patrol car silently keeping order. Between 1968 and 1974, Japan’s expressways were policed by one […]
Some cars leave an indelible mark on all of us – cars that transcend the boundaries of fandom and become icons in their own right. And yes, I mean all of us. If you don’t have even the smallest soft spot for an R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R, I’m calling bulls**t, respectfully. There’s no way you […]
If you’re a long-time Speedhunters reader, you’ll know that I have a deep fascination with car spaces. I’m always excited to see how enthusiasts from around the world blend their love for cars with their passion for architecture. I’ve made a point to visit as many private car-centric spaces as possible since first checking out […]
Growing up with dreams of becoming a car designer, the first-generation Toyota Celica coupé was one of my all-time favourite designs. In fact, I still have an A3-sized drawing of a green Celica GT, complete with over-fenders, stashed away somewhere. But I don’t think my 10-year-old self could have ever imagined a build quite like the 1976 […]
Strangely enough, I’ve had my fair share of nights spent around cars at this point. And no, I don’t mean drinking and driving – that’s about as stupid as it gets. I’m talking about parties and events revolving around cars. Last Thursday was supposed to be a relaxed night with a couple of mates – […]
For years, Toyo Tire’s Treadpass has been home to some of SEMA’s most jaw-dropping builds. This year’s display was no different. Many are calling the 2024 SEMA Show the event’s most impressive in years – thanks in no small part to the variety of cars on display and, generally speaking, the quality. The Treadpass is […]
2024 Intro For many in Japan, mid-November signals that winter is just around the corner. For a select few, however, it marks the countdown to the start of a new time attack racing season. In just a few weeks, Tsukuba Circuit will host the second HKS Hiper Challenge meet of 2024 – the first major time […]
It has dawned on me that ‘The European mind’ can’t quite grasp the scale of the SEMA Show. 4.6 million square feet (honestly, who even measures in kilometres?) of cars, vendors, and sheer automotive freedom – it’s outrageous, especially for an industry that remains a very niche market in a global sense. Yet somehow, this […]
