Lotus has chosen the middle of a global pandemic to give the Elise a few classic paint jobs, paying homage to its long and successful racing history. Let’s face it, a lot of people have some extra time on their hands at the moment. While the factories are quiet,
Unlike one or two people on the internet, I have never really had a strong opinion on the Toyota Supra. Not because I couldn’t be bothered or anything like that, I just didn’t see a Supra on my driveway, even the last of the old generation. You know

Quirky hatch-coupe evolves into appetiser for Hyundai performance range. When the original Hyundai Veloster Turbo lobbed into Australia back in 2012, it felt a brave new world for Hyundai. Suddenly, there was an edgily-styled, well-equipped, good value spearhead for the Korean car maker. And with 150kW from its 1.6-litre
Nissan’s Y62 Series Patrol has a new bum, new face and a whole lot more gear to go with it. And boy is it a big boi. A real chonker. You are going to have to forgive me if I tell you that I give no hoots, let alone
New four-door sedan to take on the 2 Series Gran Coupe is on its way. You’re going to have to be patient – it’s a year away. At least. I drove the first Audi A3 sedan years ago. It was a good car, like its hatch sibling and spawned
Hyundai’s long-awaited eight-speed twin-clutch transmission is ready for the road and will be in Australia – in the i30 N – from early 2021. In irritating news, the Hyundai Veloster N is the first N model to score the Korean giant’s new eight-speed twin-clutch transmission. In better news, that same
Munich’s M Performance hatchback, the BMW M135i, has returned. Riding on an all-new platform, it’s not quite the car it replaces. We like a bit of transparency here on The Redline. So I’m going to tell you that my love for the 1 Series extends to having
Toyota’s youth-oriented but Boomer-bought compact SUV has already had its first minor tweak and now includes the series hybrid version. Setting aside the dire name – C-HR means “Coupe – High Riding” – there is a great deal to like about Toyota’s tiny SUV. The price isn’t one of those
The 322km/h Alpina B5 Touring is probably the fastest wagon on earth but also the most comfortable. And you’ve never heard of it. Who doesn’t love a wagon? Hardly anyone and if they don’t like a wagon, they’ve had a bad experience. Still no excuse.
AMG’s four-door rip-snorter is a wild combination of the brutal AMG GT powertrain, a few other Mercs and a hand-crafted bodyshell to fit passengers. It might be called the GT but there is little under the skin to tie the two together, apart from (obviously) the twin-turbo V8. This
Lotus has provided details on its EV hypercar’s configurator and a little more of what customers might expect to see. https://youtu.be/f162vo_M_ok The spectacular new Lotus Evija is mere months away and at the same time, already in production for first deliveries in late 2020.
The Ford Fiesta ST finally returns to Australia with a new three-cylinder engine, all-new everything else and stacked with gear. https://youtu.be/LeeU0bjGUBs What seems like a hundred years ago (September 2013), a comparatively youthful version of me stumbled into my second-ever car launch. The first had been the
