The Road Rat. World's most beautiful car magazine

Edition 6 was one of the first issues we gave over to a single theme: Italy.

Turin and its particular hold on the imagination. Enzo Ferrari and what he ate. Small Italian cars, and why so many of them are so brilliantly judged. And Giovanni Michelotti, whose mind and archive could probably have filled an issue on their own.

The result is less a tour of Italian motoring than a look at the obsessions, appetites and ideas that shaped it.

Only a few copies of Edition 6 remain. At the other end of the shelf, Edition 24 is now available to pre-order, complete with a special cover treatment. We suspect copies won’t hang around for long.

One is nearly gone. The other is just arriving.

Both are available now via theroadrat.com.

Dated 12 June 1963 and marked ‘CONFIDENTIAL’, this Ford engineering drawing depicts a proposed road-going sports car – part of the thinking that would lead to the GT40.

For Edition 24 of The Road Rat, The Art of Engineering, we’ve reproduced it at four times the width of our regular cover. It is hand-folded and wrapped around the magazine, so the drawing reveals itself as you open it.

Turn the whole thing over and there’s another GT40: a 1969 Mk III, one of just seven road cars built, photographed across the reverse. Beneath the wrap, the main cover picks out a detail from the same car. Curious?

Edition 24 is available to pre-order now.

Edition 14 was our Le Mans issue. All of it.

Not just the winners and the obvious heroes, but the long night, the morning after it, the food, the beer, the bugs, the city beyond the circuit, the Americans, the front-engined cars, the thermal-efficiency oddities and the human business of staying awake and staying fast.

So we changed the magazine to suit the race: part scrapbook, part photo essay, part long-form Road Rat, moving from our view of the centenary through Porsche 917s, Ferrari 499Ps, Henri Cartier-Bresson, McLaren F1 GTRs, Tom Kristensen, the Porsche 919 Hybrid and, yes, a very special Jaguar D-Type.

It is now sold out, which is pleasing for us, but less so if this reel has just persuaded you that you need one.

A subscription is the safer strategy next time.

Bugatti made engineering look like sculpture and the Type 59 is arguably the clearest proof.

In Edition 5, we went deep into Ettore Bugatti’s world: the obsessive finishing, ingenious details and uncompromising thinking that made even a wheel, axle or carburettor linkage worth stopping to stare at.

Limited copies of Edition 5 remain, so shop now via theroadrat.com.

And if Molsheim has its hooks into you, our latest issue, Edition 23, is a Bugatti special, with more to feed the obsession.

“Nothing is more powerful than a culture whose time has come.”

In Edition 15, we went to Seoul to understand how Hyundai stopped following the automotive establishment and began setting its own terms – from Giugiaro’s Pony Coupé and the pixel logic of IONIQ to the gloriously improbable N Vision 74.

The answer turned out to be bigger than cars: Korean curiosity, discipline, speed, memory and an unusual willingness to change what no longer works.

Edition 15 is sold out. If you missed it, consider that a useful warning.

Edition 18 was our attempt to understand what happens when the term ‘supercar’ is no longer enough.

Ferrari 250 GTO. Porsche GT1. Mercedes-Benz SLR. Gordon Murray T.50. Seven decades of cars shaped as much by people, culture and obsession as by horsepower.

At its centre is a spectacular 34-page portfolio by Benedict Redgrove. And on the cover, the T.50 – a car very much in the spotlight still, and a fitting reason to revisit the issue.

Jon Claydon’s T.50 story can be read in full at theroadrat.com via the link in bio.

For those who want the whole thing in print, limited copies of Edition 18 remain. Surrounding editions of The Road Rat are now sold out.

Japan’s economic miracle gave the world the Walkman, Shape Pants and, rather unexpectedly, the Nissan Pike cars.

The Be-1, Pao, S-Cargo and Figaro were born from a moment when Nissan decided that engineering alone wasn’t enough. Designer Naoki Sakai called the idea ‘future memory’: cars assembled from fragments of the past, but aimed squarely at a new kind of consumer. Cute, clever and deliberately scarce, they anticipated the retro boom by more than a decade.

In Edition 5 of The Road Rat, Jason Barlow tells the wonderfully unlikely story of how one of Japan’s biggest carmakers went looking for a new design language – and found it partly in Tokyo fashion, European cars of the Fifties and Sixties and the strange power of wanting something you can’t quite have.

Appropriately enough, Edition 5 is now in limited supply.

“A formally harmonious product needs no decoration; it should be elevated through pure form.”

Anatole ‘Tony’ Lapine’s view of design, and a useful way into the Porsche 928: a car conceived as the future, shaped by Detroit as much as Stuttgart and finished inside with Dawson Sellar’s gloriously disorientating Pasha cloth.

Too strange to replace the 911. Too interesting to dismiss.

In Edition 4 of The Road Rat, Stephen Bayley unpicks the 928’s complicated origins and asks a more troublesome question: was it, perhaps, the last true Porsche?

Order now while limited stock remains.
