Whether you are deciding on a car or just love wheels for the sake of it,
the supercharged magazine has something for you

If Torque, the magazine, was a car, what will it be?

Try something along the lines of a high-performance, all-wheel drive, multi-seater vehicle with not just off-road capabilities, but is also a boulevard cruiser and track-conquering sports car. It has plenty of horsepower, but is also a hybrid that's contemporary and relevant.

In other words, Torque will be a true Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) in every sense of the term, except the MPV's reputation of being dull.

The latest iteration of the magazine that started life back in 1990 is anything but boring. Keeping with the analogy of a car, Torque's "chassis" and "powertrain" have been strengthened with the addition of two new full-time members to the editorial team, Mr David Ting and Mr Tony Tan. The team of contributors have also been boosted, giving Torque truly high performance levels.

The "bodywork"  have also been extensively redesigned. Here, we are talking about "flared arches" and "chunkier lines" as the magazine is now more than 50 per cent thicker. The September issue, with its additional focus on Formula 1, is a mighty 192 pages thick, up from 118 pages from before. It's a giant among its competition and guarantees top value for the dollar.

It's more stylish too, with the latest design direction specifically made to communicate excitement.

Inside, there are plenty of new features. How about the newly stocked glove compartment, filled with the latest in lifestyle gadgets to suit your every need? With the new MOD section, the magazine is tricked up to feature the latest in the car tuning scene.

Of course, as a cutting edge "automobile", Torque is hooked up to the internet. Features like the forum boards and the editors' blogs have been designed specifically to involve all onboard this superstar of a car magazine.

Take the all-new Torque for a test drive. Better yet, place an order to subscribe now. As they like to say in the car trade, "COE and delivery guaranteed".
