A recent tracktest at Tsukuba has shown that both the new Evo X and new STI are slower than their competitors with the new Subaru Impreza STI posting a faster last time than the Evo. Could this be the end of the Evo’s dominance?

Not quite sure what to make of this one although I do quite like the rear aero wing definitely not liking the lamp covers! the modifications include a new custom exhaust front and rear bumpers and the new rear spoiler. As far as I can tell it’ll be unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2008

Having sat unwanted and unloved in Kyoto for a number of years the garage NP35′ of Nagano, Japan completed a full restoration of this beautiful 1971 KPGC10 Skyline GT-R Very few exist outside of Japan currently and this is the only one in the UK although not currently road legal. Hopefully i’ll be able to take a look at this piece of history in 2008.

Although not a full replica the car features several period and rare tuning parts from Japan, the car being being built as a trackday car.
