'''Performance Car''', commonly abbreviated to '''PC''', was the name of a British automotive magazine produced continuously by EMAP from [[Performance Car Magazine/July 1983|July 1983]] until [[Performance Car Magazine/July 1998|July 1998]], comprising issues 184 through to 364 of what originally begun as [[Hot Car Magazine]] in April 1968, prior to the latter merging once ''Performance Car'' was created. The magazine would later be re-established for the month of [[Performance Car Magazine/March 2008|March 2008]]<ref>[https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=499986&i=0 PistonHeads - New Performance Car mag - 1st issue.]</ref> to mild success, but was unable to attract greater interest and would again close at the end of 2009 after a further 22 issues had been printed.

The magazine is perhaps most notable for its hiring of then-freelance journalist [[Jeremy Clarkson]] in 1986, who eventually became a highly successful television presenter.

[[Evo (Magazine)|evo]] would be ''Performance Car''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s spiritual successor, and its first issue even included a ''Performance Car''-themed supplement.
