Today OVERSTEER is proud (and a little bit hungover, but that’s another story) to launch our NEW short road tests feature! Really short, that is. In fact, 140 characters or less short. That’s right, we are now doing road tests via Twitter. Possibly the first (we haven’t really bothered checking) and only website to attempt […]
Rolls-Royce today revealed a new picture of its forthcoming two-door coupe version of the Ghost – the Wraith.

The first of three specially commissioned short films goes live today, depicting the McLaren brand in a way never seen before as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. Instead of focusing on the high-tech, high-octane world of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team, or even the Group’s new Automotive division and its groundbreaking 12C […]
McLaren’s new hypercar, the P1, has made its first public appearance, driven by none other than 2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button. Button drove the new, still disguised P1 during a drive-through of several cars from McLaren’s history at the launch of the company’s MP4-28 F1 car. Although a very low-speed run, it was […]

He may well be a grumpy old shit, but Terry Marshall is also one of the best motorsport photographers there is. He has sent us a collection of shots from the two first Toyota Racing Series and NZV8 rounds at Timaru and Invercargill and, quite frankly, they were just too damn good not to do […]
