Mercedes-AMG Project One’s exciting test phase and expected delivery date
The development of the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE hypercar is entering a new phase, so bringing it ever closer to production standard: several pre-production models are now practising their fast laps at the company’s own proving ground and technology centre at Immendingen, unfortunately, that’s some distance away from New Zealand.

Broadly speaking – BMW X6 xDrive30d M Sport review NZ
Generally speaking ‘to have broad shoulders’ is to have the ability to take criticism or accept responsibility (wouldn’t that be nice nowadays) but when it comes to BMW New Zealand’s third-generation X6 SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle), it takes on a whole new meaning.

Less cc’s but more yeye’s – Kia Seltos 1.6L Turbo Limited review

In many ways, much like Audi New […]
Seventh Heaven – new Audi RS 7 Sportback Review
Regardless of any religious connotations, seventh heaven has been described as getting to a place where you’re in a state of intense happiness; a state of utmost bliss and although it may seem a little odd, quite frankly, that’s how I found myself when I got behind the wheel of Audi New Zealand’s new RS […]

The RS 6 Avant-age – Audi RS 6 Avant review
All-new cars that have been designed from scratch are one thing BUT when you combine this fresh new thinking with the advantage of having a quarter of a century of product-specific history and then sprinkle in four-generations of evolution, the result is something rather special – introducing Audi New Zealand’s new RS 6 Avant. The […]
Fits U-in-it – new Skoda KAMIQ review
Czech born vehicle maker Skoda has recently added a new vehicle to its family and now it’s available in New Zealand.
