  • What are tuner cars?

    Tuner cars are production cars their owners modify for more performance and more personality: an ECU tune, a turbo or supercharger, suspension, wheels, aero and paint. The scene grew up around Japanese imports like the Supra, Skyline GT-R and RX-7, and today tuners build everything from BMW M cars to Porsches. TUNERS covers the cars and the builds, starting with JDM.

  • Does TUNERS cover supercars?

    Yes. TUNERS has a dedicated supercars section next to sports cars, Porsche and motorsport, covering the cars that set the benchmarks, how they're engineered and what they mean for everyone building something faster. Whether you're into a modified Civic Type R or a mid-engine exotic, TUNERS covers both.
