Street Legends- Exploring the world’s most iconic cars

On this episode, we dig into the Subaru GR Impreza WRX STI — the hatchback generation that ran from 2008 to 2014 and split the fanbase right down the middle. Some hated the five-door shape. Others called it the best-driving STI Subaru ever built. We cover the essentials: the 2.5-liter EJ257 boxer, the driver-controlled center diff, the evolution from the softer ’08 car to the sharper 2011 spec-C-i...

In 1995, Honda built a car that redefined front-wheel drive performance forever. The Integra DC2 Type R’s hand-built B18C VTEC engine made 200 horsepower naturally aspirated from 1.8 litres – 111hp per litre, unheard of at the time. Weighing just 1,060kg thanks to obsessive weight reduction, it embarrassed cars with twice the power. It won BTCC championships, became America’s most stolen vehicle,...

Only 43,097 Nissan Silvia S15s were ever built – the final evolution of a bloodline stretching back to the 1960s. The Spec-R’s SR20DET made 250hp from a 2.0-litre turbo four with a ball-bearing turbocharger, paired to a six-speed manual and helical LSD. On track, S15s claimed nearly 70% of all D1 Grand Prix championships, including Top Secret’s legendary 530hp machine that won the 2004 title. This...

Today’s episode: 474kW. 815Nm. 298 units. The HSV GTSR W1 is the most powerful production car ever built in Australia – a hand-built, LS9-powered, supercharged send-off for 30 years of HSV engineering. Specs, lap times, collector values, and the emotional weight of a nation’s automotive legacy ending with a V8 screaming to 6,600 RPM. Street Legends – iconic cars, untold stories.

The Mazda RX-7 FD is proof that greatness doesn’t need big displacement. Powered by the legendary 13B-REW — the world’s first mass-produced sequential twin-turbo rotary — this 1.3-litre machine made 280hp and weighed just 1,280kg. Designed by Tom Matano with curves shaped by wind, the FD dominated IMSA racing, inspired a generation through Initial D, and ended its 24-year run with the iconic Spiri...

The Toyota Supra MK4. Powered by the legendary 2JZ-GTE – a 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six so overbuilt it makes 1,000+ horsepower on stock internals. Chief Engineer Isao Tsuzuki obsessed over every gram, stripping 310 pounds while adding airbags and bigger brakes. It matched Ferrari in acceleration and held the world braking record for a decade. From JGTC domination to Fast and Furious fame, the Supra...

A 2-liter 4G63 turbo four-cylinder in a 1,260kg sedan with Active Yaw Control. Tommi Mäkinen drove it to four consecutive WRC world championships. It won Monte Carlo on debut. It got banned for being too fast. The Evo vs Subaru rivalry defined an era. The Tommi Mäkinen Edition sealed the legend. Built for the stage. Feared on every road. Street Legends — iconic cars, untold stories.

The BMW E36 M3. The quiet legend. Built by Paul Rosche — the man behind the McLaren F1 engine — the S50 inline six made 286hp from just 3 liters. Nearly 96hp per liter. In the early 90s, not even the Italians could touch that. America almost never got it. Too expensive. Then enthusiasts demanded it, BMW listened, and it became the best-selling M3 market in the world. From DTM ambitions to GT champ...

The Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R. The car they called Godzilla. In the 1980s, Nissan was losing. Losing sales, losing races, losing pride. Then a top-secret project called the 901 Movement changed everything. The RB26 twin-turbo engine. The ATTESA all-wheel drive system. A machine so dominant it went undefeated for 29 straight races — and got banned in Australia. This is the story of how Japan built an...
