MOTOR Magazine March 2019 issue preview

March is nothing short of a power trip for MOTOR!

If you thought that the FG X Falcon wasn’t a fitting enough send-off, we strap ourselves into Premcar’s 483kW equipped Falcon Holy Grail that promises to be Ford’s forbidden modern GT-HO.

Then we attempt to tame Tickford’s 530kW supercharged Mustang, spend a whole 24 hours in the 1103kW Bugatti Chiron, and roll-out the red carpet for a very special 449kW visitor to the MOTOR Garage.

You can find our gorgeous mags at retailers around Australia. Or you can subscribe and save yourself some cash, there’s even a digital subscription.

Subscribers often receive their mags earlier, depending on the postal system, so you’ll get to see what MOTOR has to offer before anyone else.

Or, if you want to give us feedback and see behind the scenes, you can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram where we interact with our followers regularly.

Enjoy!
