The legacy of JGTC Super GT – TAMIYA COLLECTION FEATURETTE
Motorsport in the Land of the Rising Sun – The history of the JGTC Super GT and its models: Unlike many other racing series around the world, the Japanese Super GT series had not one, but two predecessors. To get back to the roots of the series, you have to look way back. The Japanese Touring Car Championship (JTCC) has been held in Japan since the late 1960s and was initially largely dominated by the first generation of the Nissan Skyline GT-R. When the FIA launched Group 5, this change also left its mark on the Land of the Rising Sun in the second half of the seventies: In 1979,…

Libertywalk’s craziest builds FEATURETTE
Liberty Walk: the people who take “widebody” to a whole new level. Their body kits are like the hot sauce packets of the car world – love them or hate them, they definitely add some flavour. Liberty Walk was founded by Wataru Kato at the age of 26. The business was initially run on a small car park where only a few cars could be displayed.

Tarmacworks Alfa Romeo Giulia QV GTA / GTAm FEATURETTE
500 pieces? No problem! Alfa Romeo presented the Giulia as the GTA and GTAm in mid-2020. This means fewer kilos and more horsepower than the basic Quadrifoglio version. However, not for too many customers – and at enormous prices. Fortunately, the price of the Tarmacworks model is better. The limitation of 500 units also only plays a role in the real vehicle; the models look a little better. With the emphasis on “a bit”, because the first releases in the red car colour went like hot cakes. Now Tamacworks has launched the Montreal Green colour for the GTAm and the Formula 1 special edition for the GTA, more about that…

THE WORLD of WATARU KATO – LIBERTYWALK FEATURETTE
More than just a brand, its a lifestyle… Recently, you often come across the terms “Rocket Bunny”, “Rauh-Welt” or “Liberty Walk”. The terms “Rocket Bunny”, “Rauh-Welt” or “Liberty Walk” simply refer to manufacturers of Japanese body kits, don’t they? Their characteristic style is currently a trend, especially overseas, and involves extreme wide bodies. So-called “bolt-on overfenders” are used here. This roughly translates as “riveted-on mudguard attachments”. However, they are now so much more than ordinary handicrafts designed to last a few years. Rocket Bunny, Rauh-Welt or Liberty Walk have all made a name for themselves in the car scene, even far beyond! Whether positive or negative is up to you!…
