FIRST DRIVE: Audi S1

Maloo goes mental

HSV today released details of the latest bout of supercharged silliness that has gripped them, possessing them to build and released the GTS Maloo – a 430kW/740Nm ute. Yes, that is now a thing, thanks to the frenzied, clearly disturbed minds at HSV in Australia jamming the 6.2-litre supercharged LSA V8 into the company’s already-extreme […]
