From the Editor’s desk

NZV8 Magazine was conceived when the passionate muscle car scene was in need of an authority. Thanks to a large population of baby boomers, muscle car and V8 culture is starting to boom again in New Zealand. NZV8 is not only riding that wave, but leading the way by providing world class features on the cars, events and people that make the scene so great. Our passionate writers and contributors are not only knowledgeable in their field, but are also well known, admired and respected. NZV8’s mix of modern and classic vehicles opens it up to a wide audience, and it goes without saying the readership is quite financially secure. If you want to reach a rapidly expanding market, and be associated with the authority behind it, here’s your chance.
