So why are so many older cars not being used? There are thousands of Classics, Muscle cars and Hot Rods, not to mention Supercars, that spend most of, if not all of their time in the garage. WHY is that ?? You cannot beat seeing an older car in action. Why do you think historic racing, classic rallies and reliability runs are so popular the world over? Just seeing an older car in everyday use will get you looking!

Representing the ultimate and most extreme track-only Ford GT ever, the new Ford GT Mk IV by Ford Performance and Multimatic is a radically advanced supercar delivering max performance with its unique body, powertrain and suspension.

Moreover, it is to deliver unconstrained performance, exceeding that of any Ford GT to date. The Ford GT Mk IV has a unique twin-turbo EcoBoost engine, racing transmission, aero-focused exterior design, and chassis with a longer wheelbase for greater on-track handling.

Drag racing is the cornerstone of any American octane-filled breakfast and as American as well Apple pie. American Apple pie.

So I would love to set the record straight right here and now apart from the crappy English Girling brake systems, the steering box that bolts to the right-hand side chassis rail rather than the K-member and the fact that its a right-hand drive car. Its 100% Plymouth. And No! It is not an Australian car either. Please feel free to share this with absolutely everyone. Article and Photos by Etienne Fouche

Beneath the sculpted bodywork lies a Ford Performance Aluminator 5.2 XS V8, delivering a potent 580 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. Power is channelled through a Bowler Tremec T-56 Magnum six-speed manual, married to a Centerforce clutch, before reaching a Strange Engineering 9-inch rear end. The soundtrack is pure Detroit muscle, enhanced by custom Ringbrothers headers and a Flowmaster system with Super 44 mufflers.

But only 197 Kenmeri Skyline GT-Rs ever made it out of the factory. Not because there were fewer than 200 couples called Ken and Mary willing to buy a Skyline, but for a few other reasons.

Not least was the oil crisis and, in Nissans own official reasoning, stricter emission standards, but the C110 generation Skyline also fell short of the C10 in its own right.

Hyundai Motor announced the plan during a Design Talk in Seoul, featuring Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro. This is along with Luc Donckerwolke, the chief creative officer of the Hyundai Motor Group, and SangYup Lee, executive vice president and head of Hyundai Motors Global Design Centre.

RINGBROTHERS UNVEILS CUSTOM 1,200-HORSEPOWER 1972 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZER “BULLY”. This extensive restomod build features a 6.8-litre LS3 V8 topped with a massive 3.0-litre Whipple supercharger, heavy-duty off-road suspension, a “floating” interior and much more.

Ringbrothers, the world-renowned custom car builder and parts manufacturer, has unveiled its latest custom creation, STRODE. A thorough reengineering of iconic American muscle, the 1969 Chevy Camaro is a complete, ground-up build utilizing extensive carbon-fibre construction and components merged with a modern drivetrain, chassis and suspension. With only two parts of the original Camaro used, STRODE took over 6,500 hours to complete and is a testament to the high-end design, engineering capabilities and rigorous build quality of Ringbrothers.
