The Road Rat is a fairly new journal that attempts – very successfully, we think – to overhaul the conventional model of the car magazine.

And we stress ‘overhaul’ rather trying soup the thing up. It’s less interested in technical detail and performance. The Road Rat instead firmly believes there are many interesting and untold stories located in both the past and the present, on the road and on the race track. And, most pleasingly, The Road Rat is a proudly analogue thing: a lush, beautiful, valuable, collectable and exquisitely crafted magazine.

About Edition 24, ‘The Art of Engineering', from the publisher:

‘The Art of Engineering’ is an ode to the sublime creativity and technical mastery of the greatest automotive engineers. Featuring characters such as Mauro Forghieri, Bruce McLaren, Norbert Singer, Phil Remington, Soichiro Honda and Adrian Newey.

This highly collectible edition’s cover is a three-part spectacle:

1. A standalone technical illustration of a 1963 precursor to the Ford GT40, hand-folded and wrapped around the main cover.

2. On the reverse of that, a giant photograph of a 1969 GT40 Mk III.

3. On the main cover, a seductive detail of that same car.
