Classic Motorsport & Sports Cars
Quarterly Print
A chronicle of the machine and the people who drive them
Speedster Magazine is a print quarterly dedicated to the grease, the noise, and the unapologetic romance of classic motorsports and sports cars. Subscriptions purchased today will begin with our upcoming Summer Issue, shipping in June.
Speedster is a perfect-bound enthusiasts' magazine printed in the USA on heavyweight, uncoated paper. It is designed for the tactile reader—built to be collected, archived, and left on the coffee table or the workbench.
In every issue, we explore the vintage car world through five core lenses:
- The Machine: Deep-dive chassis histories, provenance, and the engineering of the hero metal.
- The Drive: Visceral, sensory travelogues tracing the greatest driving roads.
- The Race: Archival retrospectives honoring the rivalries, danger, and legends of the golden era.
- The Concours: The culture, the master craftsmen, and the lifestyle surrounding the hobby.
- The Market: Data-driven intelligence for buying, selling, and identifying future classics.
Latest Feature
The Bespoke V12
Gordon Murray originally wanted Honda to build the engine for the McLaren F1, but their refusal paved the way for a legendary, bespoke BMW V12. Engineered by Paul Rosche, the S70/2 featured individual throttle bodies and produced so much heat that it necessitated 16 grams of pure gold foil lining the engine bay. A masterclass in instantaneous throttle response.
"To this day, I believe it is simply the greatest naturally aspirated V12 ever made."
- Gordon Murray
Frequently asked questions
What is the format of Speedster Magazine?
Speedster is a premium, quarterly print magazine. Issue 01 features 96 perfect-bound pages printed on heavy, 100lb uncoated art paper. It is designed to be collected and kept on your coffee table or garage workbench, not thrown away after a single read.
Is there a digital or PDF version available?
Speedster is strictly a physical, print-only publication. We believe these stories are best consumed with ink on paper, away from screens and algorithms.
How often does Speedster publish?
We are a quarterly publication, releasing four distinct, heavy-stock issues per year (Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring).
Do you ship internationally?
At this time, no. Shipping is strictly limited to the United States for now. As an independent publisher, our first priority is ensuring perfect domestic fulfillment before we take on the complexities of global shipping. We know the analog motoring community is worldwide, and we are working hard to open up international shipping for future issues.
What exactly is the "Founding 100"?
It is an exclusive, limited-edition offering for our earliest backers. By purchasing one of the 100 available spots, your name will be permanently printed on the Founding Members Page at the back of Issue 01. It is a way to directly fund independent automotive journalism and secure your legacy in our inaugural issue.
