The Lamborghini Aventador will soon be doing the press rounds and reviews should be coming our way shortly. In the meantime, Lamborghini here’s another collection of YouTube clips, starting with a pair of 700hp beasts driving around Rome and in the countryside. The Rome video is all romance and drama, the countryside clip, though, is [...]

Andreas Preuninger, Head of GT Cars, makes an appearance in this official promo from Porsche to announce the limited edition 911 GT3 RS 4.0. Herr Preuninger reckons, “this might be the best RS we ever make.”

The Toyota FT-86 II is the car which is supposed to reignite the soul of the Japanese auto giant. A rear-wheel drive sports coupe with provocative styling is a pretty good place to start, too. Via their FT86club website Toyota has provided some sound clips of their new hero model. Hmm, we’re sure it will [...]

If you thought the release of official images of the new F10-based Concept M5 was going to be the end of the official teasing from BMW, you were wrong. Okay, we know what the car looks like and Autocar has given us a taste of the performance we can expect, but we still haven’t seen [...]

You’re looking at the dash layout of the 2013 Volkswagen Golf. Okay, it’s not really that exciting we admit, but it does indicate the Mk7 Golf will make a move away from the current four dial layout of the current Mk6 Golf range—which has been in place since the Mk4 model. By incorporating the temp [...]

Caterham has wasted no time in honouring its new pay master by releasing a Team Lotus Special Edition of its bread and butter Seven model. If you’d like to get your hands on one, though, you’d better be quick because there’s only going to be 25 of these made available. The Team Lotus Special Edition [...]

Ahead of tomorrow’s expected announcement we bring you these leaked images of the Porsche GT3 RS 4.0, which now appears will be limited to 600 models.

In a little over six months the Formula One calendar will see the first ever Indian Grand Prix. The world’s latest F1 track is located 25km out of New Delhi in the Buddh district.

While any talk of motorsport biopics this year has centred around Ayrton Senna we recently came across another one that promises to be just as good. Simply called Legacy, it tells us the Barry Sheene story. Sheene was a lovable larrikin with talent and charisma to burn, his life was almost made for the silver [...]

Australian Ford fans suffered long and hard when the Focus RS went on sale overseas in 2009. Jason Plato’s review for Fifth Gear only heightened their anxiety. It seemed unlikely the car would ever go on sale here, leading to one punter from the XR5 Turbo forums to make a regrettable claim about sandwich boards [...]

Here is an old review from Autocar comparing the Scirocco R and Ford Focus RS. It first appeared on AUSmotive back in November 2009. At the time neither car was available in Australia.
