ERA CAR Nissan GTR R35 Simola – A Hillclimb Beast FEATURETTE
When Godzilla conquered South Africa… His appearance was announced with a lot of noise, dust and smoke: Godzilla, probably the most famous creature from the land of the rising sun! The one and only who came (this time) for a visit to South Africa for a certain mission: one last ultimate hunt! Not for fresh meat as you might expect at first glance, but rather to be on top of the timing sheet and become declared as „King of the Hill“. Nissan’s sharpest weapon has been nicknamed „Godzilla“ for quite some time now, due to the seemingly endless series of successes in circuit races in the 1990s with the legendary…

Tarmacworks Ferrari 488 GT3 BPGT Series 2018 – Special Edition FEATURETTE
A toast to its exclusivity! „It’s shiny, it’s special, it’s fast: Of course because it’s a Ferrari!“, a typical statement when it comes to evaluating the cars from Maranello in the heart of Italy.

Midnight Purple presents people with a whole new set of challenges! Because depending on the sunlight or artificial light, depending on the angle and the shadows, the paint turns green at one moment and suddenly switches to dark purple at another. By mixing pigment powder in a certain process, the colour changes due to the factors mentioned above. It is all the more ingenious when this colour…

Matchbox Collector’s Series – Porsche 550 Spyder FEATURETTE
When nostalgia witnesses a memorable revival… By Matchbox we usually remember at ordinary 1:64-scale road vehicles with plastic wheels at a very reasonable price. As well as the older generation may naturally remember the very classic models that came with the iconic yellow «matchboxes», unlike today’s typical plastic boxes. Those yellow classics were the major reason where the Matchbox brand got its name from. The Collector’s Series launched in 2021 brings nostalgia back to life. Sports cars as well as absolute classics are reissued together with the yellow box in nostalgic font as we know it from the past. The highlight of this series is the so-called “moving parts”, which…
