Fast Car magazine is a UK-based car magazine covering the modified car market and car culture. It was the first UK magazine focusing on this genre. It is owned by Future Publishing, based in Bath, Somerset. The magazine is published 13 times a year.
Fast Car started as a performance car magazine, but now specialises in readers interested in Japanese, European cars and the car culture genre.
The Audited Bureau of Circulations (ABC) reports that Fast Car's sales peaked at 127,620 copies in 2003 [1]. Historically, Fast Car traditionally sold fewer copies of their magazine than Max Power (which closed in January 2011 due to poor sales). However, Fast Car has been the market leader in this segment since 2007.
Its most recent ABC audited circulation figure was 26,107.
[edit] History
The magazine was launched in Orpington, Kent, UK in April 1987 by Security Publications Ltd as an evolution from a short-lived publication called Power and Style.
