PERFORMANCE CAR REVIEWS

First Fang: Ferrari California T

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG review
The sensational Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG ‘Gullwing’ is so much more than a tribute to the brand’s glorious past. It’s a modern classic.
First Fang: FPV GT-F
It’s here! With 351kW, the GT F is the fastest Falcon ever. Unfortunately, it’s also the last Falcon GT ever. So is it a fitting farewell? Or just a tarted-up GT-P?
2010 Audi RS5 review
The RS5 should be just like the glorious old RS4 only sexier and better. But is it?
First Fang: Porsche Panamera GTS
A collective groan must sweep through the engineering department whenever the product planners emerge from a meeting exclaiming “We need a sports limousine!” All the premium car makers are it, attempting to meld the seemingly contradictory qualities of a sports car (agile, lightweight, involving) and a luxury cruiser (big, comfortable, refined) with varying degrees of success.

Mercedes-McLaren SLR 722 S Roadster review
The car with all the potential, but none of the drive.
