Peter Anderson takes the new Land Rover Defender, fresh off the boat, for its first run on Australian roads (and muddy tracks). https://youtu.be/5q3m7_ao3SY You know the old joke. The second album is always the hardest. Land Rover knew that so put off the second Defender for
The new burping hyper hatch from Mercedes, the AMG A45S, is everything the old car was with one extra feature – fun. Now, before you kick off, the old car was fun, but not in the way I like. It was a bit like a mini Nissan GTR. Not the Nismo
Hyundai’s Kona electric SUV lapped the Lausitzring for a sleep-inducing thirty-five hours to cover over 1000km on a single charge. Hyundai doesn’t do things by halves these days. Two pure EVs and a whole new electric brand from having neither of those things two years ago. What’s
You might have caught me scolding BMW for not doing a fast wagon and it seems I’m a powerful man in this town (along with a zillion other people). The next M3 is surely going to be an absolute belter of a machine with the twin-turbo straight-six already seen
The Kia Stinger GT Carbon Edition is, as you might have guessed, a special version of the Korean company’s giant-killing sport sedan. The Stinger is, as you already know, an awesome car. It is also criminally under-bought despite its critical acclaim and general buzz. You can safely ignore those
We get a taste of the 488’s replacement, the Ferrari F8 Tributo, around Sydney Motorsport Park on a cold, clear winter’s morning. The Ferrari ownership experience is one most of us will never even consider let alone do. But, sometimes, an invitation lands in your inbox inviting you
Ferrari’s new 2+ GT, the Roma, evokes the 1950s with its La Nuova Dolce Vita tag line and a gorgeous new design that looks much better in the flesh. Well, when I say it has landed, I mean that there is one in the country. A left-hand drive Roma
The Audi RS6 Avant has always been a firm favourite of the fast wagonista. The latest iteration is loaded with stuff and tech, but does it still hold the crown? https://youtu.be/noj_2a49efY Don’t forget to like and subscribe while you’re there! The A6 Avant has
The Audi R8 RWS was by far my favourite of the R8 range and it seems a lot of people agreed. It’s back as the R8 RWD and I couldn’t be happier. Audi’s R8 has found a very special place in my heart as it’s the
Since its release, the Audi RSQ3 has been one of the nuttiest cars on the road and the road is all the better for it. There’s a new one now, and it’s very good. Some years ago I sat in the driver’s seat of the RSQ3 and
The 2020 Mini Countryman PHEV is – I think – the only plug-in hybrid compact SUV on the market today and certainly the most fun. The Countryman – heck, the whole Mini range – cops a lot of stick for being too big or too this or too that. Nobody is ever happy. And
We return to Jaguar’s pioneering I-PACE before its impending update and in light of the imminent arrival of the Audi e-tron. I have been fortunate enough to have already driven the I-PACE, not long after its launch and again at Sydney Motorsport Park. Doing 200km/h in near silence
