Nitro: The cult magazine for American cars and Custom culture

Since 1981, Nitro has established itself as the benchmark magazine for all enthusiasts of American cars and Custom culture in France. A true pioneer of the genre, the magazine has never deviated from its editorial line: highlighting the finest specimens straight from the USA, and showcasing the latest trends in this unique automotive movement.

Every two months, Nitro offers a captivating journey into the world of roaring V8s, gleaming chrome and muscular lines. Each issue is an opportunity to discover mythical models, muscle cars, hot rods, vintage pick-ups and lowriders, restored or customized with passion. Thanks to detailed, richly illustrated reports, the reader plunges into the heart of the workshops, shows and gatherings where these icons of the road are born and live.

But Nitro is much more than just a catalog of beautiful machines. The magazine also honors those who, in France and abroad, keep the heart of the Custom movement beating: tuners, collectors, coachbuilders, talented engine builders, enthusiasts’ clubs and simple amateurs who devote their free time to bringing their American dream to life.

Throughout its pages, Nitro explores the technical aspects of preparation and restoration, shares expert advice and reveals previously unpublished anecdotes about the history of these legendary cars. The magazine is also a witness to the Custom scene in all its forms: exhibitions, concours d’élégance, drag races and emblematic festivals.

With an authentic tone and a passion unchanged for over 40 years, Nitro continues to transmit the love of beautiful machines and the freedom they embody. For all fans of big cars, custom bodywork and American car culture, Nitro remains the must-have magazine.
