Ten of Australia’s most jaw-dropping cars will take over the precinct, including three standout builds that are guaranteed to capture the imagination of fans.
First up is Dom Luci’s 1975 Holden HJ Kingswood, LITMUP, a vibrant orange icon from Menangle, NSW. A veteran burnout competitor with a Burnout Masters podium finish and a Pro Burnout Series qualifier under his belt, Dom brings both performance and heart to the track.
LITMUP was gifted to him by his late father-in-law after being found abandoned, and rebuilt with the help of family and friends. With his children often trackside, Dom’s story embodies burnout culture driven by passion, family, and unforgettable moments.
Next, Mitchel Hawkins’ 1994 Holden VR Commodore, CAVIAR, is set to challenge every notion of what a street machine can be.
From Wilton, NSW, Mitchel transformed this salmon-pink garage find into a motorsport-inspired showpiece that graced the cover of Street Machine magazine. CAVIAR blends family practicality with bold, creative flair, making it one of the most talked-about builds on the Australian scene.
Finally, Jack Mill’s 2007 Suzuki Swift, SWIFTY, brings a radical twist to the day. Once a humble hatchback, SWIFTY now packs V8 power and sports vibrant yellow paint, earning Jack the Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse Young Street Machine of the Year 2025.
Traveling Australia with his partner Lara, Jack uses SWIFTY to inspire young people and spark conversations around men’s mental health, turning a fun build into a symbol of creativity, purpose, and community impact.
From heart-pounding burnouts to jaw-dropping engineering marvels, Summernats is set to ignite the Wanderers NYD precinct.
Whether you’re a football fan, a car enthusiast, or just looking for a spectacular way to kick off 2026, this is one day you won’t want to miss.
