It was here, then it left. Now the Renault Megane Renaultsport 265 is back, this time with a new face and an increase in spec. What is the same is the mental amounts of fun the little fast Frenchie is on the road. We headed out to Hampton Downs race track just to make sure… […]

Recently we popped over to Ford HQ in Australia to see just what they would be doing there after production of the Falcon stops. Quite a lot, as it turns out. You see Ford Oz is a “Centre of Excellence” in the wider Ford world, meaning that they take the lead in the design and […]
After lots of teasing Renault has finally released pictures, video-gamey style video and specifications of its spectacular Renault Sport R.S 01 that will make up a large part of the French manufacturer’s motorsport plans in the near future, including being the basis of its own one-make racing series. Built on a Dallara carbon monocoque chassis and […]
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class was previously the smallest Benz you could get. But now an entire family based on the new A-Class has popped up below it in the range to take care of the “entry level” duties for the brand, leaving the C-Class to get on with its happy spread into both middle-age and mid-size […]
When Jaguar announced it was going to build the final six lightweight E-Types it started building in the 1960s and then, well, forgot to finish the run, we here at OVERSTEER were interested, but not that excited. That was until we saw the finished product. Then we realised it wasn’t a product, it was a […]
We rather liked the Holden Trax when it was launched late last year, but we weren’t exactly in love with the venerable 1.8-litre petrol engine that did reluctant, noisy duty under the stubby bonnet. But now Holden has stuck a modern engine in the cutesy Trax – the 103kW/200Nm 1.4-litre iTi turbo four-cylinder petrol that […]
The Jeep Wrangler is no stranger here at OVERSTEER, in fact we would go as far as to say it is one of our all-time favourites, despite (or, indeed, perhaps even because of) its glaring – and, quite frankly, blatant – shortcomings as a road-going vehicle. Off-road, however, it is utterly unbeatable, and this, along […]
The Nissan Qashqai was subject to a lot of ridicule for its silly name when it was first released, but the jokes stopped when we all got used to it and everyone realised that it was a thoroughly excellent car. Now there is an all-new version of the car that has been a big success […]
One make racing series star and a sexy new sports car, the Renault R.S.01 has finally been revealed, sort of, in this short video teaser (and the photo below) from Renault. We think it looks pretty sexy, what do you think?
Car names. It is a tricky art getting it just right. Coming up with a name that invokes the spirit of the car is a very hard thing to do – the Ford Probe, for example, failed quite badly at that when, instead of invoking images of a cutting-edge machine used for space exploration, it […]
