Here’s a little something new we are trying – the latest info on a new car straight from its launch! Okay, so we have to admit this one isn’t quite “straight from the launch”, but we had a few teething issues to deal with. From now on though, they will be!

The third generation Ford Focus RS comes with all wheel drive, over 240kW and dynamics to flatter every driver. XCAR took at look at it and its forebears to see where the magic came from.
The Ford Focus ST is one of our favourite-ever cars here at OVERSTEER and it seems the good blokes at XCAR agree with us – it offers utterly HUGE amounts of adrenaline-pumping thrills for comparatively little money. And that is the beauty of the ST. Well, that and the fact it is very, very orange!
This week’s BLAST FROM THE PAST heads to us from Levin in March 1970 and features the legendary Paul Fahey in his superb FVA Escort. Many thanks to Terry Marshall for the pic.
We got the short teaser last week – this week the XCAR boys bring us their full-length video on the legendary world-changing car that is the Ford Model T.
Here we have a rarity – the first ever XCAR video review from 100 years ago! Bet you didn’t know that digital video technology has been around that long…
We head back to Levin in 1971 for this week’s BLAST to witness Don Halliday in the Halliday Racing Developments Escort during one of his great scraps with Jim Richards in his similar car. As always, many thanks to Terry Marshall!
We head to the legendary Wellington street race in 1996 for this week’s BLAST FROM THE PAST, where Wayne Huxford’s mighty Morand Chevrolet-powered Capri threads its way through the armco-lined circuit. As always, thanks heaps to birthday-boy Terry Marshall for the fantastic pic!
Forget the rally cars, for the latest instalment of his Gymkhana series, US mentalcase Ken Block throws a custom-built AWD 630kW 1965 Ford Mustang around the streets of LA… You NEED to see this…
This week’s BLAST FROM THE PAST heads to us from Wigram in 1976 as Leo Leonard in the PDL Mustang and Allan Moffat in the Chev Monza both over commit and skate down the escape road during a monumental battle. As always, many thanks to Terry Marshall!
