Octane Magazine
Launched in 2003, Octane has redefined the classic car magazine by revolutionising what both readers and advertisers can expect from a classic motoring title.
It has consciously distanced itself from other magazines in the sector via unparalleled writing, photography and design, and by treating the cars as works of art rather than commodities, and the audience as knowledgeable adults. As well as top-class readers it also boasts motoring A-list contributors, with the likes of Jay Leno, the planet’s most high-profile petrolhead, and Le Mans legend Derek Bell writing monthly for the magazine.
The English-language version of Octane is truly global, being bought by more than 30,000 people in 40 countries. It is the number one imported magazine across Barnes & Noble’s entire 700-plus shop North American estate.
In addition, there are five licensed editions of Octane – in Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, France and The Netherlands.
