In 1999 Motor Trend Television needed a facelift for it's new presence on Speedvision (now SPEED network). To achive this, new graphics were created and a new "high energy" show open was edited with emphasis on the magazines 50th anniversary. It wasn't long before MTTV became Speedvisions highest rated television show! Several episodes were also recognized with national awards.

At the time, C. Van Tune was the Editor-In-Chief of the magazine and called the newly edited open "The coolest intro for any show on television." The sample frames to the left are from the show's re-designed open.
