Words: Peter Anderson Images: Blake Currall Co-pilot: Mark Dewar It's been a while since the Mustang nameplate was so sacrilegiously slapped onto the rump of a car that was a) not a two-door booted coupe and b) electric. Everyone got mad – I mean, seriously, get a grip – but
We start with a wild electric Hyundai, an elderly M, an elderly SUV and an immortal Honda. For Top Gear magazine, Jethro Bovingdon tests the new Ioniq 5 N-based RN24. Jethro is a bit anti-EV (don't @ me, he admits it) so it's interesting to see what
A personal obsession from the other Czech car company you may not have heard of, another Citroën, some cool Dakar cars and three incredible McLarens. Years ago I read about the rear-engined V8 Tatra 613 in CAR magazine and I am fundamentally obsessed with it more than three decades later.
This week we've got an epic drive through South America, some retro racing from 1973, a ropey video about the Alfa GTA 1300 Junior, Ford's biggest failure and racing's biggest failures. Canadian couple Matt and Stacey (not sure you could be more Canadian with
Another Porsche video (but by a legend), a crashtastic off-road video, an insane engine swap, a second insane engine swap and the reason British Leyland died. Or one of the reasons, anyway. Very good friend and one-time (so far) contributor to The Redline, Scott Newman, has his own YouTube channel
Words: Peter Anderson Images: Matt Garrard Like the 911 before it, I had never driven a Corvette until this mid-engined monster. There are several reasons for this, chief among them being I'm from Australia, lived my whole life here and the Corvette was not sold here in right-hand
Well a happy new year to you all and if you're new here, welcome! Say hi in the comments. We'll kick off the year with a video from a channel I nearly skipped because it looked a bit too cringey for my liking, an iconic V12
The last Weekend Watches of the year is upon us and it starts with a rarity (a video from me), a busted Merc SUV, another wacky Swede, a gorgeous Italian and one from the archive. It's been a while, even since the Cupra video, and I'm
Words: Peter Anderson Images: Blake Currall and Matt Garrard Co-pilot: Mark Dewar Lotus has had many owners, some consequential, others just treading water. In the Before Times (2017), Chinese automotive giant Geely – still not yet really a household name outside of China – added Lotus to its group of brands. I&
The last WW before Christmas and I've got some bangers lined up. We've got why a once-popular racing series isn't, 10 race cars that should have got a better shake, a classic Targa race and a not-so-classic Holden. JakeSimRacing has a story on why
Hasn't this week just blown by? For your weekend pleasure, we have the story of a storied French car maker, a less-storied but fascinating carmaker, an even more obscure story of a forgotten car company, I break the rules of this edition with a video I just really
Well, it has been a little while, sorry for the break in transmission, had actual paid work happening. First up, a car I saw a lot of in my youth, a list of cars that you might find interesting, another car from my youth and a car Top Gear gave
An old burping Saab, a dubstep V10, another BMW (sorry), why a certain car is such a good driver's car and what to look for in a Focus ST. Aging Wheels buys a classic two-stroke Saab and, naturally, hilarity ensues. The Straight Pipes tackle my favourite BMW M
Jaguar allegedly broke the internet today, or they did according to a particular type of internet and media personality. Ahead of the launch of a design concept in a couple of weeks, the company released a spot called "Copy Nothing" to show off the new branding. As you
An affordable EV comparison, a shouty German brand is unveiled, impossibly stylish man interviewed, off-roader starter guide and an electric cop car. M'colleague Alex Misoyannis of Drive.com.au has put the BYD Dolphin and MG4 head-to-head in the under $40k EV battle. Best $40K electric car in
Renault's new small electric car has really caught my eye and I've posted about it and the Alpine A290 hot hatch as well. I've posted about them a lot. What gives? I am a hatchback fan. I love them for their size – particularly the
A V12 diesel Audi that can seat five, cool cars for cool guys, cheating cheaters, an age-old question answered and a new electric Alpine. Drivetribe brings us the story of the diesel V12 Audi Q7, one of the more surprising cars to come out of Ingolstadt. James Pumphrey from Speeed
Today we have a pretty awesome Maserati revival, a Tesla stuck between a rock and a hard place, crushing disappointment for GR86 fans and Tesla running out of buyers for its worst model. The really rather excellent Keith Adams at CAR has news of a Maserati restomod that I was
Last time I gave you a lot of background on Musk's and Tesla's bad behaviour over the last decade. This week, a bit more of that but a lot more of why the Cybercab in particular is bad and why the We, Robot event was a
Another great interview from CAR, this time Alfa's CEO, CAR's Luke Wilkinson interviewed Alfa's upward-moving CEO at the Paris Motor Show. I quite like this chap because he seems to have both saved Alfa from the Marchionne madness (yeah, fight me) and has sensible
It has been well over a (busy) week since Tesla's We, Robot event was held on the Warner Bros movie lot in Los Angeles. The idea of the title apart from being totally on-brand lame in a way only Musk and his companies seem to manage, was to
Sorry for the quiet week on The Redline, I've been moving house and wouldn't you know it, there's not a lot of time for website-ing! This weekend we have some of the real good stuff. A car almost too wacky to be an Alfa,
Another new car brand launches in Australia, BYD's head of European Operations has some things to say, new Prelude and Celica coming, Alpine A390 going Stateside and a Renault 5 review. Chinese brand Deepal is coming to Australia through Subaru and Peugeot importer Inchcape. Predictably it's
Another week has flashed by and I've dug up some primo weekend content to watch during the ads on the Bathurst 1000 if you're too cheap to have Kayo or Foxtel (like me). Scotty's Corvette video looks pretty good, we've got an
