CAR is the online edition of CAR Magazine, Britain’s oldest monthly motoring mag.
It’s the UK’s best and fastest online motoring news service, providing a constant stream of scoops, first drives and official pictures of new cars. With this December 2007 relaunch, you’ll also find more video content and a new community area, as well as our legendary GBU data section – The Good, The Bad and the Ugly – identifying the car industry’s heroes and zeros.
Initially launched on 1 August 2007, CAR Online currently reaches up to 350,000 unique users a month, generating around 3m page impressions. The website is run by Tim Pollard, CAR’s associate editor.
CAR Magazine is published on the last Wednesday of every month, by Bauer Automotive. CAR originally launched in 1962 as Small Car and Mini Owner, swiftly expanding its focus and simply becoming CAR.
The magazine has a history of innovation. We invented the group test, pioneered the drive story and coined the phrase 'supercar' – and all three remain staples of CAR. The magazine is also renowned for its photography, writing and design: in 2007, CAR won two top design awards and has the UK's Journalist of the Year gong from the Guild of Motoring Writers.
And CAR is global. As well as CAR Online and the UK magazine, we have nine foreign editions: Brazil, China, Greece, India, Mexico, Middle East, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Thailand and Turkey. Through all its media, CAR interacts with more than 600,000 consumers each month.
