This funky little thing is a revival of the MINI Rocketman Concept, first seen in Geneva last year. Turns out we got a sneak peek at this London 2012 themed Rocketman early last month, complete in the colours of the British flag. BMW has paid a lot of money to be an official sponsor of […]
Here at AUSmotive we were pretty excited when Mercedes unveiled its new A-Class at the Geneva Motor Show back in March. We liked the almost experimental approach to its styling, even if, on reflection, it may be a little fussy. We applauded Mercedes for being brave and stepping outside the norm in order to chase […]
According to the nice voiceover lady in this video the One-77 is “The pure essence of Aston Martin.” Whether one chooses to believe that or not, it cannot be denied that the One-77 is a big car. Both physically and metaphorically. With 750hp available from its 7.3 litre V12, Aston proudly boasts the One-77 is […]

Lamborghini has sold its soul to the SUV devil and come up with this Urus concept, revealed in Beijing today. Although, for now it’s something of a vision statement for a probable launch in 2015.

Henry Catchpole was given the gig at Evo to test the new Porsche Boxster S. He’s no Chris Harris, but does offer some worthwhile insights.
