MOTOR Magazine April 2018 issue preview

Welcome to the new-look MOTOR.

You can buy a copy at MagShop, digitally at Zinio, and find mags at retailers around Australia. Or you can subscribe and save yourself some cash.

Or, if you want to give us feedback and see behind the scenes, you can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

But if you’re already an avid reader, you’re probably wondering what you’re in for. I’ll leave it to MOTOR’s Editor, Dylan Campbell, to explain:

"Since 1954 when the first issue went on sale, MOTOR has reinvented itself countless times, evolving to meet what its readers demand of it through the decades.

In 2018, MOTOR is adapting yet again to take advantage of incoming opportunities presented by the digital age – with the magazine, perhaps unexpectedly, sat at the head of the table.

So that’s the direction we’ve taken your favourite car magazine, the current team of which is the same that’s been around since 2013 – and we’ve been readers of MOTOR ourselves for a long, long time.

We know MOTOR’s DNA. Our new slogan, Power, Performance, Passion, will be familiar to long-time readers. That’s deliberate.

We can’t live without the buzz of driving fast, and we know that’s true for you, too. We live to serve your addiction. And our goal is to give you your fix better than anyone else." - DC
