PERFORMANCE CAR REVIEWS
Driven: Audi A7 Sportback
If Audi’s new A7 Sportback is a sign of things to come from Ingolstadt, then there’s reason for optimism
Merc’s New C63 AMG Coupe
Mercedes-Benz has released images of the new C63 AMG Coupe, which is based on the new C-Class Coupe range
2013 HSV Gen-F range review
HSV Gen-F / Holden Special Vehicles – We road and track test the 2013 F-Gen HSV, the best high-performance rear-drive V8 Australia has ever built.
Mercedes-McLaren SLR 722 S Roadster review
The car with all the potential, but none of the drive.
Audi SQ5 review
Audi SQ5. Finally, a mid-size SUV with balls.
Volkswagen Golf Mk IV GTI vs Mk VI GTI comparison review
We put VW’s early and late-’00s hot-hatches up against each other to get an accurate look at how far the GTI has come.
Peugeot 208 GTi review
Peugeot has resurrected GTi badge and has created a cracking compact hot hatch worthy of wearing it.
2015 Audi RS Q3 review
More power and more kit for Audi’s updated hi-po SUV
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder review
Removing the LP560-4’s roof merely adds to its allure
Mercedes-Benz E500
We genuinely liked the last (W211) E-class and not just for the mad AMG versions that came with it
1999 Subaru 22B STi: Greatest Impreza ever
Built to satisfy new world rally championship rules, the 1999 subaru STI 22B is the greatest impreza road car ever
2008 Ford Focus RS review
A turbo Ford Focus?
Opel Corsa OPC
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but probably not for the Holden faithful. Even the dumb kid in class could’ve predicted that re-tuning and re-branding cheap, crappy Daewoos was a stupid idea. Replacing a soundly-engineered car (the XC Barina) with a blatantly inferior product (the current heap parading under the same name) was a brave move – especially when the logical follow-up, Opel’s Mk4 Corsa, is such a quality effort.
VW Golf 118 TSI
Don’t be misled by VW’s confusing name strategy: there is a GT model hiding in the new Golf Mk VI.
Nissan R35 GT-R Spec-V review
The dark horse…
Mazda MX-5 Review
With 20 years of production creeping dangerously close to one million units (855,000 at last count), and a claimed 178 awards under its belt, the world’s best-selling open-top two-seater has plenty of reasons to smile. But the facelifted third-genner cracks a Botox grin like it’s rocked in the door at 6am after a night of dance-party tomfoolery. Or woken up and found Jennifer Hawkins cooking it breakfast. Or perhaps both.
Lambo LP650-4
If the SV is the Murcielago’s final fling as a coupe, will this garish limited-edition special be its farewell as a roadster? Inside word is: don’t bet on it, because the big Murchey still has two years to run.
Porsche Cayenne Diesel
Stuttgart jumps on the lean, green and oily bandwagon.
Maserati Quattroporte S
New V8, ZF auto and clever engineering make this Maser a winner.
Mazda 3 SP25
Bigger engine and a revamp, yet the sporty 3 remains much the same.

We drive Mazda Australia’s fire-spitting turbocharged RX-8 Targa car

First drive of the new supercharged Jaguar super sedan
