Lighter, meaner, rawer. This really is a pocket-rocket ‘ready to race’ straight from the Lotus production line.
Lotus has brought into Australia just three 2009 Exige Cup 260 event-ready cars for a lucky trio of track day enthusiasts ready to go to the next level of competition.
Today, Targa Tasmania, one of Australia’s most famous tarmac events, [...]
The R8 was a brave design brief for Audi’s first-ever venture into the world of the supercar.
This is a world dominated by passionate Italian marques and Audi’s German compatriots – like Porsche, and, of course, the stratospherically powerful grunt-monsters from Mercedes.
At a stretch, you might also be able to fit the premium muscle-cars from the [...]
There was an air of excitement surrounding the Lotus stand as the minutes counted down to the launch of the new Evora, the first truly all-new car from Lotus in over a decade.
As the smoke and lights display was deployed to full effect and the silk sheet was slipped back, revealed was the only Lotus Evora in [...]
Pack up your cloth caps and smoking pipes as Bentley is at the Melbourne Motor Show 2009. And, as if you didn’t know, the modern Bentley line-up is all about curvalicious bodies, pampering luxury, brushed-aluminium and wood-grain, and spades of powerrrr.
No new unveilings from Bentley at the Motor Show today, but four stratospherically powerful and luxurious cars on show.
The Bentley Speed [...]
The Porsche stand - sandwiched between opposites, Bentley and Suzuki - has a smorgasbord of German exotica on display. The headline-hitter is the new Cayenne Diesel (yes, an oil-burning Porsche) shoving diesel power into the current Cayenne line-up.
It is only showing its face for the first three days of the show, so if you want to [...]
What would a Motor Show be without some Italian stallions to drool over? There may have been a no-show from Ferrari and Maserati at this year’s Show, but Lamborghini has three of its most enticing thoroughbreds gracing the convention centre.
The talk of the Show from the supercar perspective was the first Australian appearance of the LP560-4 Spyder. The [...]
We first brought you news of the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 back in February last year but now, finally, TMR gets some seat-time in the car to see what the fuss is all about.
Lamborghini’s faster and more powerful updated Gallardo, the LP560-4, was announced at the Geneva Show 2008 as an answer to Ferrari’s F430. [...]
Is beauty only skin deep? Beddy shacks up with a hot Italian to find out…
The Alfa Romeo brand sits in its own space as a sporting brand. It is not a rich man’s toy like a Ferrari, nor does it have the common touch of Fiat. It occupies a unique niche. It’s an enthusiast brand [...]
“Power, beauty and soul”, these were three words that I could have expressed over the course of a few days with the Ford GT. But they were not the first to come to mind.
Try “startling, scary and hold on!” For this is the 2005 Ford GT. Not a mere replica of the 60’s legend, but [...]
Maserati has posted its global sales results year-to-date for 2008 and, despite the worldwide economic downturn, the resurgent Italian sporting marque is keeping its head above the stormy waters. A total of 7,700 Maseratis have left the factory and found their way into customers’ hands in the first 11 months of 2008, an increase of 22 [...]
Not happy with the available options list for the range-topping 911 Turbo? It is common knowledge that Porsche’s additional options list is one of the biggest (and most expensive) across the auto industry. With some models, you can add an additional 50 percent or more to the price with Porsche’s factory-fitted optional extras.
Don’t believe me? [...]
A gloomy fog may have settled over world financial markets but that hasn’t stopped Ferrari from cocking its nose at all the depressing carry-on. It has just released a hugely expensive convertible version of the F430 Scuderia, limited to just 499 examples worldwide.
The F430 Scuderia, you may be aware, is Ferrari’s fastest and most track-focused car of the moment (with an exhaust note to send supercar lovers into spasmic shock). [...]
There are views – supported by countless motoring press articles worldwide - that the Lotus Elise and Exige family are the best handling sports cars in the world. Some even going so far as to compare them to the handling of a Ferrari. A bold statement, but I could possibly be starting to agree.
The Elise [...]
It came to my attention last week that Audi has been working hard to turn the recent Luxury Car Tax (LCT) increase to their sales advantage. Audi you see (they’re not stupid there in Audi HQ) has been through the Australian Government’s new ‘green car’ legislation and found that any car under $75,000 that produces a combined fuel-efficiency [...]
This year at the Sydney Motor Show, prestige brands have been a little lacking with the absence of Porsche, Audi, Lotus and BMW amongst others. But the new ‘Supercar Central’ stand more than satisfies the lust for exotic metal.
There, the delicious Koenigsegg and Pagani sit alongside Elfin, Bolwell, the Gemballa Porsche, Lotus, Bufori, and Morgan supercars; collectively adding up to a total dollar value of [...]
Lotus has unveiled the hottest looking Exige from the factory yet. The specialised sports-car maker has taken the already savage racetrack-ready 2008 Exige CUP, removed weight without compromising its legendary handling and ‘driveability’, whilst leaving the potent 260 HP Toyota supercharged engine well-enough alone for this release. This track-biased but road-registrable (in the EU) featherweight [...]
Hand crafted at Bentley’s UK facility in Crewe since 1998, the Bentley Arnage Final Series is an exclusive final run of 150 cars - created to bid ‘farewell’ to the highly successful Arnage line in the most fitting manner and style. Bentley Chairman and Chief Executive, Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen, explains:
“For 10 years, Arnage has enjoyed [...]
Winner of Drive.com’s Best Performance Car under $60k, the VW Golf GTI receives a special edition tweak and facelift coming soon to Australia. Announced this week by VW Australia through a collaboration with tyre manufacture Pirelli, the car’s tag-line is ‘Power is nothing without control’.
Performance for the Pirelli edition GTI has been given a boost. [...]
The 30th of July 2008 marked a large footprint in the Australian sand for Mercedes, marking 50 years of the prestigious brand here on our shores and a launch of a fascinating site on the subject by Mercedes Benz Australia.
The company has come a long way since it ventured here, far far away from its home in Stuttgart, Germany. [...]
Porsche today unveiled its latest iteration of the prestige SUV that everybody seems to love to hate but worldwide sales figures seem to prove ‘everybody’ grossly wrong. True to form of late, Porsche’s latest Cayenne comes in a series of garish colours; perhaps to prove to the rest of the world ‘your’ Porsche is a [...]
The power-mad engineers (bless them all) of Mercedes sports division AMG, have just released a video to whet your appetite for the new ‘top dog’ of the Mercedes AMG range: the AMG SL65 Black Series.
TMR brought you news of this powerhouse of a machine, stripped down and made leaner for the track, several weeks ago. [...]
