Kiwis are legendary around the world for dambusting the status-quo with their ingenuity and originality. New Zealanders split the atom, invented the jet boat, jumped off perfectly good buildings with a bungee rope tied round their ankles and, now for dessert, they've taken hot rodding to an elite level. Kiwi television program The Red Shift showcases that fresh entrepreneurial spirit by providing the only spotlight on the world-class
hot rodding talent down-under.

In each and every episode The Red Shift delivers a monster serve of events coverage as well as top shelf feature cars. The program presents a unique take on the build of a 50s custom, a ride that will be given away at the world-famous Beach Hop, the biggest nostalgia festival in the southern hemisphere. Fast, stylish and sexy - with a side serving of great Kiwi music, metalwork and mechanicals, The Red Shift is a high octane fix for the petrolhead - those arrived and those aspiring.
