Democracy is a powerful thing, and it’s because of you guys that I present the following car feature.
Late last year when we did our Speedhunters Awards, we included a category for Reader Cars of the Year – a group that included a huge selection vehicles from across the world.

In the lead up to the N24, Toyota’s own Gazoo Racing/GRMN has just unveiled the “GRMN Sports FR Concept”. While the typically Japanese sounding name doesn’t explain much, this factory-tuned GT86 is sure to get the enthusiast community buzzing.

With Jonathan Moore away with the European Speedhunters contingent preparing for the N24, I’ll be handling the Week in Pictures for the next two weeks.

Cosmetically, the car is absolutely mint. While It looks [...]
It’s the weekend and that of course means it’s time for a drop of desktops – in my case a selection of images from Toyotafest in Long Beach. I’ve uploaded images of this gangster looking Lexus GS… …a view of gorgeous Celica LB. How about a high res tribute to the most VIP car of [...]
In order to streamline the site and make things easier on you guys, we decided to conveniently locate the desktop wallpapers from each week’s car features in one place.
