{{DISPLAYTITLE:'''About ''Autocade'''''}}
''Autocade'' started in 2008 as an independent car encyclopædia, and branched out into its first print edition, a [https://lucire.biz/product/autocade-yearbook-2024/ Yearbook], in December 2023. [https://autocade.world A members’ site] was launched in January 2025.

Created by [[User:WikiSysop|Jack Yan]] as a passion project for fellow car enthusiasts, with a commitment to accuracy, ''Autocade'' focuses more on 1970 on. Over the years, it has had many contributors behind the scenes: Peter Jobes, [https://www.aronline.co.uk Keith Adams], Nigel Dunn, and the assistance of ''[https://www.carfolio.com Carfolio]'', an in-depth car specifications&rsquo; database website.

[https://lucire.biz/product/autocade-year-of-cars-2025-hardcover/ The annual ''Autocade Year of Cars'' publication], meanwhile, takes the passion of the encyclopædia and puts it into a print format with interesting reads. The award-winning motoring author Giles Chapman noted, ‘''Autocade'' is in the grand tradition of beautifully produced annuals like ''World Cars'', ''Car Design Yearbook'', ''Autocourse'' and ''Auto Universum'', yet offers a deep read for the road car devotee like nothing else I’ve seen.’ William Woollard, historian, producer, and long-time ''Top Gear'' presenter, said, ‘A genuine collector’s item. You won’t want to put it down.’

Moving forward, we hope to continue enlarging the website—which, at the time of writing, nets a million page views every three months—and create more print and video content. 


==Our approach==

''Autocade'', in its online form, provides quick summaries of each model, written from the point of view of its first home market, rather than being biased toward a single country. It is not meant to replace buyers’ guides such as ''Yiche'' in China, ''Edmunds'' in the USA or ''The Red Book'' in Australia, or information sites such as ''[https://www.carfolio.com Carfolio]''.
