Having stepped back from motocross after an accident, Adam Smith has worked hard to translate the raw adrenaline rush of a motorbike into four-wheeled form – and this tuned Audi RS3 saloon is the unhinged end result. Physicists might disagree, but speed isn’t a black and white concept. That fingertip-tingling rush of adrenaline varies wildly depending on what you’re sat in, and the gap becomes even wider once you factor bikes into the equation. Ask anyone who’s grown up on two wheels, and they’ll tell you that the buzz of riding is hard to replicate in a car, but it also isn’t out of reach for ..read more

No, Butsy didn’t need to build another custom Mk2 Focus RS. He’s already got two really cool ones. But being sensible never really blips on this guy’s radar… “This car was meant to be a fast daily, not a show car.” Uh-huh, we should have seen this coming, really. Butsy does have a habit of getting carried away. His idea of ‘not a show car’ is rather different to most people’s. For the uninitiated, Grant Butler (better known to most folks as Butsy) is something of a whirlwind in the Ford modding scene. He collects RS Fords like your grandma used to pick up Green Shield Stamps, and there’s no wa ..read more

Enter the Q767… The world’s largest privately-owned Ford performance specialist, Steeda, has just revealed their first two European-registered homologated Steeda Mustangs. And they did it in style, at the legendary Nürburgring. Steeda’s Big Bet on European Shores Steeda’s Europe Director Robbie Kazandjian grins from ear to ear: “I honestly believe we are offering the only V8 performance sports car that is accessible to the European audience.” And with their aim to take the Steeda Mustang to the top st ..read more

Lexus has launched a 304hp GR Yaris-engined LBX in Japan called the Morizo RR and there’s a manual option! Following the success of the GR Yaris and subsequent GR Corolla (US), Lexus has decided to get in the action and create the LBX Morizo RR. It’s powered by the same G16E-GTS engine, meaning it’s a 1.6-litre inline 3-cylinder turbocharged engine. Only here it produces 304hp (yep, that’s 100hp-per-cylinder), trumping the GR Yaris’s 280hp. For the first time ever on a Lexus model, the LBX Morizo RR will be offered with the choice of a six-speed manual. For those not fussed with three pedals ..read more

Many a modified car enthusiast would argue that there’s no such thing as too much carbon, and for anyone addicted to the mesmerising black weave, this modified BMW F80 M3 will give you the fix you need. The saloon has never been a staple of the M3 range. There was always a two-door, and there was always a convertible, but if you wanted four doors on your mid-size M machine, there was a point where the E36 was your only choice, with the saloon skipping the E30 and E46 generations. It wasn’t until the E90 M3 came along that BMW decided to make it a permanent addition to the lineup, and there was ..read more

The collaborative efforts and deep-flowing passions of family-run Team Hadfield Motorsport have turned this feisty modified Ford Puma into proper race royalty. Collaboration and cooperation. They’re the linchpins here, the essential ingredients in this recipe for success, and they’ve been coursing through the very bedrock of the Puma from the start. You may recall that when this perky little Fiesta-based coupe launched back in 1997 it was available with a variety of engines, and the one everyone really wanted was the 1.7. Why? Because that particular variant of the Zetec-SE was a little bit sp ..read more
