An eclectic mix of past and present wowed the crowds at Autosport International 2024. Here’s our full report covering all the modified car action.
While its predominantly race cars from all manner of series on show at Autosport International, we managed to dig out all of the coolest modified cars from the event. Particularly impressive was GT-R Driver’s Club line-up of each generation Skyline GT-R, with clean examples of all, plus the few wild builds complete with Liberty Walk-style bodykits.
On the newer side of things, Jay Cannon’s ridiculous McLaren 720S was on show, as well as Matt Armstrong’s twin-turbo Lamborghini Gallardo, built in partnership with Need for Speed. Matt also had his current rebuild on show, a McLaren 720S, which might be missing a few more panels…
It was my first opportunity to get up close and personal with the bonkers McLaren Solus GT. Built for the racetrack, it’s a futuristic design that captures the imagination.
Elsewhere, we spoke with Tony Lamb and his immaculate Datsun 240Z complete with a gearlever lifted straight from a fighter jet. And no, we’re not joking. Keep your eyes peeled on the YouTube channel for the video feature of that.
Now, what’s better than an R35 GT-R? How about one that’s been completely stripped down and rebuilt up as a Time Attack monster. Yep, we’re talking about Jack’s monster-spec GT-R that obliterates competition on track. With a built, strokered 4.1-liter engine from the specialists over at Litchfield, and a spec sheet longer than your arm, it’s a 1000bhp+ R35 that sticks to the track like no-ones business. Again, be sure to keep your eyes peeled on the YouTube channel for the full feature in the future.
The guys over at Monster Energy delivered on the goods once again, with star drifter Baggsy showing off his fresh GT86 build. Have a peek at the size of the turbo plumbed into the 2JZ. The result? 1000bhp…
And if you’re after class and performance in one scrumptious bundle, well, Petrolheadenism’s Lamborghini Murcielago has you covered. Elsewhere on the stand, a beautifully finished, widebody NSX sat next to a familiar Datsun 280Z and a big power Skyline GT-R R34.
We’ll be updating this report throughout the event, so check back for updates.
