MOTOR is Australia's premiere performance car publication, with two major crowns for automotive manufacturers : 'Performance Car of The Year' and 'Bang For Your Bucks'. The 2009 winner of 'Bang For Your Bucks' was the Subaru Impreza WRX sedan, which took over from the FG Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo ute. While the 2009 Performance car of the Year was won by Porsche's 911 GT2, the 2010 Performance Car of the Year will be revealed in the January 2010 issue. In 2009, MOTOR also added to its przie pool with the Castrol Edge Hot Tuner Shootour, won by Peter Fitzgerald's Porsche 911 Turbo, as well as the $10K Challenge, won by 'The Westies' (journalists Shaun Cleary, Paul Cockburn and Damion Smy)with their rebuilt 1974 VW Beetle. MOTOR's balance of reportage, witting writing style and credibility sees a line-up of local and international journalists including David Morley, Paul Cockburn, Michael Taylor and Nathan Ponchard under the editorship of Andrew MacLean. MOTOR magazine was originally published as 'Modern Motor' from its inaugural issue in May 1954, the name derived from the publishing house that produced it, Modern Magazines. Colloquially, the title was abbreviated to 'Motor', and subsequently the word 'Modern' was dropped from the title to become simply 'MOTOR' in 1992.
