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 […]

Ford has announced the comeback of the Falcon XR8 and, in doing so, will make the awesome supercharged V8 ‘Miami’ engine available in the Falcon for the first (and last) time! The XR8 was dropped in 2010 when FPV moved to the supercharged engine (the old V8 no longer met emission standards), meaning that no […]
The Mercedes-Benz E 63S AMG is an utter beast and it makes the kind of colossal noise that leaves you in no doubt of that whatsoever. To try and capture than noise, we attached a GoPro down by the exhaust and took it for a blast on a country road. This didn’t work, as the […]
Bogan-tastic! With the release of a new Commodore comes the inevitable V8-powered SS version! And with the addition of the FE3 sports suspension-equipped Redline model to the permanent line up, things would appear to be very promising indeed for Aussie performance fans. Except… they have made it VERY quiet indeed. With the bogan in us […]
Here is a great article on Jalopnik.com about one of three Volvo 960 wagons packing supercharged Ford V8s that the legendary Paul Newman had built – one for him, one for a family friend and one for talk show host David Letterman. LETTERMAN: I say to Paul, “Now wait a minute. Paul, I have a […]
When it comes to truly world-class performance machinery derived from lesser, but still brilliant, cars there are really only two names that count. Or, rather, four letters: “M” and “AMG”. The Germans know how to squeeze utterly mental power out of otherwise “standard” cars better than anyone else on the planet. I mean, take the […]
Big, but most assuredly not dumb, the latest Range Rover Vogue is a startling example of what can happen when you have something to prove and the will to prove it. Indian owners, Tata, couldn’t afford to get this one wrong. After all, Range Rover was on a roll and it and sister company Jaguar […]
The first thing you notice about the GL is that it is big. Very big. But don’t let that intimidate you, because lurking inside that huge, towering behemoth is a remarkably capable vehicle that literally does everything it can to help you handle the massive size. The second thing you notice about the GL is […]
Despite its somewhat elderly underpinnings (it is, after all, based on the same – admittedly modified – platform as the S-Type) the XF Jaguar is truly every bit the modern mid-size executive/luxury sedan. With engines ranging from an absolutely brilliant 2-litre four-cylinder engine up to the monstrous 5-litre supercharged V8 in this XFR, the XF […]
The BMW M3 is a legend, regardless of which one you are talking about. This one is the last of the V8-powered E92 coupes and it may prove to be more of a legend than most. The noise and fury of a V8 M3 on full song was remarkable when it first came out and […]
