Road & Track is an automobile enthusiast magazine in the United States, founded by two friends in 1947. It is owned by Hachette Filipacchi Magazines and is published monthly.
Road & Track focuses on both production and sports cars, and is the only automotive magazine that gives more than a passing glance to motorcycles. This is no small coincidence, since it is the sister publication of Cycle World and the two magazines share offices and some editorial staff in Newport Beach, CA.
Compared to other major American automobile magazines, Road & Track (often abbreviated R&T) focuses much less on sport utility vehicles, and much more on auto racing. Past race car drivers often contribute material, including Paul Frere and former Formula 1 champion Phil Hill.
Their trademark stylized ampersand (&) is the title of a monthly article showcasing the latest developments in future cars and prototypes. Other monthly features include "Road Tests" and "First Drives" of the latest production cars. Editor-in-Chief Thos L Bryant, Engineering Editor Dennis Simanaitis, and popular Editor-at-Large Peter Egan all have monthly columns.
In 2004, Road & Track developed a new magazine concept titled Speed, which focuses on the aftermarket tuning trend.
Like most auto magazines, Road & Track has issued an annual Ten Best list, but this list hasn't been published for years. Car and Driver, also owned by Hachette Filipacchi Magazines, publishes this list today.
