Magneto Issue 29 has landed – and our cover star is the legendary Porsche 959.

Born from the Gruppe B study and culminating in Komfort and Sport series production, the 959 rewrote the supercar rulebook: four-wheel drive, self-levelling suspension, adjustable ride height, sequential turbos, ABS, run-flat tyres and Kevlar. Not just an ‘ultimate 911’ – an icon.

Gordon Murray Automotive’s new GMSV division has unveiled two exciting new cars at Monterey Car Week, one of which is the S1 – a tribute to the McLaren F1 GTR/LM reimagined with modern aero.

Highlights include a front-clam central aerofoil, roof intake, split rear wing, McLaren F1-style lamps and a central quad-tip exhaust. It’s road-legal but unapologetically focused: solid engine mounts, lightweight materials and stiffened suspension underline the intent.

A 4.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 delivers 690+bhp and revs to 12,500rpm, paired with a six-speed manual. Just five will be built for a single client, with deliveries from 2026.

Magneto magazine

Magneto is produced by the very best, most knowledgeable writers and most creative photographers, printed beautifully on high-quality paper. It features the most important and interesting cars, events and people, serving up unmissable content at a quality never before seen in the collector car world. If only the best cars will do, then only Magneto will do as your magazine of choice.

Magneto was created by David Lillywhite, Award winning editor and one of the most experienced classic car editors in the world, and Geoff Love, one of the foremost publishers in the sector.

David started in motoring media in 1992, the perfect outlet for his knowledge and enthusiasm for collector cars old and new. After time on Practical Classics, Classic Cars, Bike and a period as a freelance writer and consultant, in 2003 he co-founded Octane magazine. David stayed with Octane to its height in summer 2017, by which time he had become editorial director, overseeing not just Octane but also new launches Vantage (Aston Martin) and Enzo (Ferrari). In 2017 he became launch editor of AutoClassics.com which, in a few short months, became a global marketplace for classic cars and a trusted authority for the latest news and features. As Editorial Director for Hothouse Media, David is responsible for delivering the best content across a wide range of publications, events, and websites

Geoff joined the Automotive division of EMAP as publishing director before launching Octane as MD in 2003. The subsequent success and sale of Octane to Dennis Publishing led Geoff to become a director at Dennis, where he was responsible for the digital transformation of Evo, as well as leading a number of acquisitions and the launch of the International Historic Motoring Awards and Vantage magazine. A move to The Motorsport Network saw Geoff as president of their European Automotive Division and MD of Autosport Media, and subsequently CEO of AutoClassics.com. Now he’s heading up Hothouse Media, the publishing company behind Magneto.
