Kia Picanto GT 2019 Review

The Kia Picanto GT has moved the benchmark for very small warm hatches. I’m not shocked, just very, very pleased. When I started this site, I decided that it would cover performance cars. And what did I think was a…

Range Rover 2019 Review: SVAutobiography Dynamic

The Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic has a very silly name but with all those words comes plenty of power, tech and gorgeous comfort. Sometimes you have to wonder where it will all end. In my work for mainstream car site…

Lotus Evija Unveiled – 2000 Electric Horses

New Lotus Evija electric supercar packs 2000PS and some startling performance figures. British sports car maker Lotus is on the move following its acquisition by Geely (who also own Volvo and Lynk&Co among others). The company has been drip-feeding this…

Nissan Leaf 2019 Review

The 2019 Nissan Leaf is a late-starter here in Australia. So late, in fact, I drove it almost two years ago around the streets of Yokohama on a short preview drive that only gave me a bit of a taste….

Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T 2019

Ferrari’s GTC4 Lusso replaced the FF a couple of years ago. In a series of very amusing events, it has taken me this long to get a hold of one. I specifically wanted the twin-turbo rear-wheel drive Lusso T because…

Mercedes-AMG’s new M139 pumps 421 horsepower

I think it’s fair to say that the Mercedes A45 AMG packs the most powerful four-cylinder in a production car. The M133 in the noses of the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 (anything else?) parps up a massive amount of power…

Lamborghini Giro Perth: 48 Hours On The Bull

Early starts are a two-edged sword. On one hand, they offer a refreshing beginning to any day, with a beautiful sunrise, morning coffee and the opportunity to plan ahead with little interruption. On the other hand, the extra shut-eye is…

New Gordon Murray V12 Supercar: the T.50

This is going to be something special, and it ought to be for £2m a pop. Designer of the still-amazing McLaren F1, Gordon Murray, has released the initial sketch for the T.50. Hopefully that’s a working title, because it’s not…

BMW M8 Competition: It’s On

Another day, another new BMW, this time it’s the M8, which we reported on a few months ago. I know the site is starting to feel a bit like a BMW fan channel, but hey, I don’t schedule the product…

Alfa Romeo Giulia Q 2019 Review

When I were a lad, many moons ago, an Alfa GTV 105 Series caught my eye. I didn’t know a lot about cars because we weren’t a “car” family. I didn’t know what it was, but saw the Alfa Romeo…
