Celebrating five years of The Road Rat with a blockbuster edition, featuring not only Angus MacKenzie’s brilliant breakdown of Enzo Ferrari’s belligerent final act, but Jason Barlow on the last 911 GT3 of its kind; Richard Meaden on Red Bull’s pit stop sovereignty; Stephen Bayley and Adam Gompertz on the art of ICE; Noelle Faulkner on Rolls-Royce Coachbuild; Christopher Butt on the Korean Design Revolution; Paul Horrell on size; Matt Master on the McMurtry; and Paolo Tumminelli on Giampaolo Dallara.

The 14th edition of The Road Rat is dedicated entirely to celebrating the greatest race of them all — Le Mans. We’ve ripped up the format of the publication, replacing it with a photo-driven scrapbook of the 24 Hours capturing its many moods and punctuated by The Road Rat’s traditional long-form features by writers like Richard Meaden, Dutch Mandel and Stephen Bayley plus commissioned visuals from the likes of Ashley Border and Paul Howse. Includes a 16-page appendix of all the winners.

Edition 13 is a unique collaboration with Norman Foster, arguably world’s greatest living architect. Topics covered include: The lasting influence on Porsche of the 356; how aerodynamics has obsessed car makers since Walt Chrysler hired Wilbur Wright; the E-Type and Pagoda effect; how the great artists see cars; how the Fiat 500, Mini and BMW 600 put Europe on wheels; homes for cars; the great factories; and how to stage the greatest car show of all.

Edition 12 of world’s most beautiful car magazine. Inside, on 244 high-quality, art-grade mixed papers, you’ll find: the astonishing origin story of the hot-rodding movement; the last Ferrari sportscar to race at Le Mans; how the XJ-S is shaping Jaguar’s future (and the Grandsphere concept, Audi’s); why F1 drivers look the way they do today; plus Sebastian Vettel and Edoardo Weber.

Edition 11 of The Road Rat features the BMW M colours on the front and back covers and over 20 pages of BMW M1 origin story by writer Richard Meaden. Also between the covers there’s Maserati, Matra, Ford F-Series pickup, Enzo Ferrari’s original V12, unseen images from Goodwood in the 1950s, and Paul Bracq, designer of the W113-series Mercedes SL, in the regular Retrospective feature.

The tenth edition of The Road Rat. Featuring VFX artist Josh George’s stunning ‘digitally sculpted portrait’ of Enzo Ferrari on the cover and a detailed examination of the Commendatore’s complex relationship with son Dino and the car that carried his name in place of Ferrari’s. Plus Porsche, IndyCars, Lotus, Giugiaro, Saab and Villeneuve.

The ninth edition of The Road Rat features former Motor Trend editor Angus MacKenzie’s deep dive into the extraordinary Honda NSX. Inside there’s also Richard Meaden on European Touring Cars, Martin Scorsese, Jerry Seinfeld, Bentley’s R-Type Continental and Prince Jefri of Brunei. 

Award-winning writer Jamie Kitman spent three months interviewing
 dozens for his profile of Elon Musk. Plus why everyone wants a bit of 
the Ferrari 250 SWB. And… 70 years of Toyota Land Cruisers, the 
bizarre tale of Nissan’s ‘Frontzilla’ Le Mans car, Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, 
faded old French garages, ’50s advertising and when ‘boxy’ was sexy. Free sticker set allows you to censor strong language on cover.

Issue Seven sees The Road Rat disassembling the greatest of all sports car myths – that of the Porsche 911. Gordon Murray opens 
up his notebooks on the development of what may be the last 
great ICE sports car, the T.50. Plus muscle cars, Mercedes’ Großer 
and the German industry’s problematical Kleine, Jag’s internecine supercar battle, Bill Mitchell, BMW’s design departure, Brabham’s rock and roll years, and the lost British 24-hour race.

The sixth Edition of The Road Rat is something of a diversion as it features a theme — Italy. We wanted to something to recognise the suffering, way back at the start of all this, of a nation that, as enthusiasts, is something of a Promised Land. So prepare to learn the psycho-geography of Turin, the dining habits of Enzo Ferrari, the sheer brilliance of small Italian cars and a look inside the astonishing mind and archive of Giovanni Michelotti.
