Porsche will still concentrate Boxster production at its main Zuffenhausen plant, but any overflow […]

When the new Audi A3 was officially launched at the Geneva Motor Show Audi Australia weren’t willing to divulge their launch plans. Our guess is the new A3 will be on display at the Australian International Motor Show in October before going on sale locally early next year. Seeing as you can’t see the car […]

Chris Harris on the Porsche Boxster S

After his disappointing piece for the BMW M550dX Chris Harris is back in form with this Porsche Boxster S review. For the first time it has him questioning his preference for the mighty 911. That’s some wrap for what he has previously termed a girl’s car. We don’t necessarily agree with that because the Boxster […]

I’m so angry right now!

We interrupt our Geneva-based programming to bring you 380kW of fury. If you’ve seen the latest ep of Top Gear you’ll know that Clarkson didn’t rate the Mercedes-Benz C63 Coupé AMG Black. Well, bah humbug to him; we wish we were one of the lucky 32. Like us, if you want to wallow in self […]

Meet the Aventador J Speedster
