NZ Performance Car

Since 1996 New Zealand Performance Car has been the voice of the country’s modified import car scene. It was there to see the first import 10-second quarter mile run, there when the first official drift battle ensued, there when the first show trophies were handed out, and there to bring NZ its very first Super Lap time attack event. Each month the very best of NZ’s modified import car scene is served up. It’s New Zealand’s number 1 selling monthly motoring magazine and is New Zealand’s import performance authority and for good reason…it leaves the others for dust.

IT’S NOT GOODBYE, IT’S SEE YA LATER!

PRODUCT REVIEW

DIORAMA UTOPIA • DETAILS ARE THE VERY SOURCE OF EXPRESSION IN ART. THERE IS A STRANGE, MESMERISING BEAUTY THAT COMES FROM CAPTURING OUR WORLD IN MINIATURE, IN EXACTING DETAIL. WE ARE ALL NO STRANGERS TO AUTOMOTIVE MODEL ART, AND SOME OF THE DETAILS CAPTURED WITHIN THE CARS THEMSELVES LEAVE US BREATHLESS, ALTHOUGH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EXPAND ON THAT? IMAGINE TAKING THAT SAME EXACTING DETAIL AND WRAPPING IT AROUND THE SUBJECT TO CREATE A SLICE OF AUTOMOTIVE LIFE DEPICTED ON A DESKTOP. IF IT SOUNDS GOOD, THEN READ ON!
