Because it is so utterly ridiculous (and awesome) here is a small photo gallery of the Veneno aircraft carrier launch for you to enjoy. And possibly print out and stick on your wall, if you are a 13 year-old boy. Or perhaps a 41 year-old man with a very strong inner 13 year-old boy… Also, […]

The Lamborghini Veneno is utterly ridiculous. So it is completely fitting that it was debuted in the most ridiculous way possible: in Abu Dhabi, on an aircraft carrier. The “reveal” (of a car we have already seen literally millions of pictures of) took place on an Italian aircraft carrier (Italy has a navy?) Nave Covour yesterday […]
The Subaru Legacy turbo wagon has been something of a performance icon in New Zealand since they poured into the country in their thousands back in the Japanese imports days of the early ’90s. Since then the used imports have dried up and Subaru have moved out of their “enthusiast” niche in a concerted effort […]
The Toyota 86 has been widely praised as one of the best Bang-For-Your-Buck packages out there and rightly so – there is little that possesses such a purity of handling for less than six figures and even less that looks as purposeful doing it. But now Toyota has raised the stakes even further by releasing […]
Every time a new BMW X5 is launched there comes the constant reminder from BMW that it is most definitely NOT an SUV. Nope. SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle and the X5 most certainly not that. No, apparently the X5 is an SAV or Sports Activity Vehicle. Yes, apparently there IS a difference. To […]
“A massive improvement” would be the best way to describe the revised Colorado ute and Colorado 7 SUV. And it was an improvement that needed to happen too. When it was launched the Colorado was, well, underwhelming. Holden had taken aim at the venerable Toyota Hilux and while it had made a better ute than […]
I remember when the “new” Fiat 500 first came out. I loved the way it looked, but I always felt strangely unsatisfied by the way it drove. In fact, the same could be said of most small Italian cars. I just couldn’t understand why they didn’t have the same flair and vigour of larger Italian […]
Now, it is no secret that we here at OVERSTEER are fans of the Citroen DS3 Sport hatch. After all, you only have to read our original road test of the automatic version to see evidence of that. That’s right, it was automatic and ONLY FOUR SPEEDS, yet we still fell in love with it. […]
The Range Rover Sport has been a remarkable success for the Jaguar Land Rover Group since its launch in 2005 and that success would certainly appear to be continuing for the all-new model, which has already seen 100 orders placed before it even goes on sale locally. In fact the demand is so strong that […]
Hybrids. They’re the future, buddy. Except they’re not. A feel-good stop-gap between internal combustion and true emission-free motoring, to be sure, but hardly the long-term future. But as a short-term solution, the diesel-hybrid goodness of the Peugeot 3008 HY4 is about as good – and certainly as quirky – as they come. Forget all this […]
