2024 Intro Bisi Ezerioha and his company Southern California-based company Bisimoto Engineering, need no introduction. For years, Bisi has been cooking up cars which might be each fast and interesting, and back in 2014, Larry and Mike featured certainly one of his most iconic creations – a Honda Odyssey packing four-figure horsepower output. What’s this minivan on steroids all about? Let’s test it out in one other throwback post from the Speedhunters archive… 2014 Feature Bisi Ezerioha knows the right way to construct a quick and completely functional automobile, and the right way to do it with show car-like attention to detail and aesthetics. In…

Introduction For the reason that launch of Unbound Vol. 6: Head to Head, we’ve been riding the Audi hype train to have fun the automaker’s return inside Need for Speed’s digital world. We have now uncovered the in-game updates and even looked back on our top five tuned Audis featured on Speedhunters through the years. But for this week’s theme, we’re taking you all back to highschool… quattro school. You’ll discover a quattro variant of virtually every production Audi in 2024. Yet its origins date back to the Seventies, with engineers Jörg Bensinger and Walter Treser widely credited for pioneering (and being the driving force behind)…

2024 Introduction Last week, we revisited Dino’s 2014 story on the show side of RC drifting in Japan. That feature was a follow-up to our most-read post of 2013, which also took a take a look at the unique events happening at Hobby Garage in Saitama. Today, as a throwback finale for those stories, we’re getting right down to ground level to examine out the crazy custom details that RC drift fanatics in Japan were putting into their scale creations a decade ago. 2014 Feature When faced with the dilemma of which two cars to select of a 40-long collection of meticulously-executed custom…

2024 Intro It’s at all times interesting to see feature cars resurface years after they were posted on Speedhunters, especially once they’ve evolved in a roundabout way. Frank Profera’s Lotus Elise was featured twice – first in 2012, after Larry randomly happened across it (it went on to turn out to be Speedhunters’ ‘Street Automotive of the Yr’ that 12 months) – and on the other hand in 2014, after it received its major ‘Ronin RS211′ re-imagination. In that guise, automotive media interest within the construct really ramped up and the custom turbocharged speedster made appearances all over the place, including a…

2024 Intro Since Speedhunters’ inception in 2008, we’ve featured events from all around the world. A decade and a half later, lots of these are still happening. Others have simply faded away. BLOX Evolution is one among the latter, but that’s to not say the event was a failure. For the few years that it ran, it brought together one of the best of the San Francisco Bay Area’s tuner culture in a big way. So let’s wind back the clock and join Speedhunters OG Mike Garrett in 2014, to see what that 12 months’s BLOX Evolution event was all about… 2014…

2024 Intro With spring now on the horizon within the Northern Hemisphere, we’re looking forward to a different big yr of Speedhunting, which suggests loads of fresh automobile features in between event coverage, shop tours, project automobile updates and more. In the subsequent few days, Dino will likely be bringing us his story on one of the vital talked about cars at this yr’s Tokyo Auto Salon – Liberty Walk’s extra-wide Countach. That got us occupied with one other Lamborghini feature automobile… Well, type of. You’re Oemmedì Meccanica’s Fiat 500, which not only looks nuts due to custom bodywork that makes…

As we’ve seen over the course of the last week, there are a lot of sides to the Tokyo Auto Salon. And we’re not only talking in regards to the giant annual tuning event itself, but in addition the opposite gatherings held around Japan’s capital city that coincide with it. One in all our favourite ‘events’ outside of TAS is literally outside TAS – the Makuhari Messe carpark. In fact, this isn’t actually an event, but given what you will discover parked up at any time during all three days of Tokyo Auto Salon, it’d as well be. After spending…

Tokyo Auto Salon isn’t Tokyo Auto Salon without all of the hype of a Liberty Walk automobile reveal, and for 2024, Wataru Kato and his team delivered all of the energy with one other ’80s supercar icon at the middle of all of it. We’ll get to the LB-Works Lamborghini Countach in a moment, because that was just one in every of a lot of Liberty Walk cars on display on the Makuhari Messe last weekend. Liberty Walk shared space with Tag, Bullet, and Sphere Light brands, with a complete of 100 staff working across the large booth over the course…

Twelve months ago, once we looked back at our most-read stories of 2022, there was an anomaly. For the primary time in Speedhunters’ history, our ‘top 10′ story list was completely dominated by event coverage. Well, 12 months on, history has repeated itself. But exactly which event posts made the cut? Let’s take a look back at your favorite stories of 2023… 10 / The Modified Machines Of IAMS Despite having debuted in 2018, 2023 (the event’s third running) was our first time covering the International Amsterdam Motor Show (IAMS) on Speedhunters. Due to some amazing IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER reader submissions, we were in a position to keep…

F40 Snow Drift If Speedhunters ever made a vacation movie, you understand there’d be a vibrant red Ferrari F40 drifting within the snow in Japan. But we don’t must dream about that, because back in 2016 it actually happened. The F40 at the middle of all of it belonged to Takeshi Kimura of Automobile Guy, and with director Luke Huxham, Abandon Visuals and Red Bull all involved, the resulting video was epic to say the least. Dino went behind the scenes of the shoot in Tokyo and Nagano, and today is the right day to revisit his story. Comfortable Holidays from The Speedhunters! 2016 Feature…
