Porsche TechArt GTstreetRS (GT2)

This is one Porsche for which you’ll need your brave pills
Locked away in the German countryside is an unassuming light grey building. It’s two storeys high, and a sloping car park on the right hand side dips away to a few garages at the back. To drive down the road, you’d probably go straight past [...]

Full Throttle 2 : Day 4

Anthony thought it was a good idea to wake Karl and I up at 4am in the morning – “Hey Guys, Hey guys… check this out! It’s got 10,000 kW and goes from 0-100km in blah blah blah” – “Tony, it’s 4am in the bloody morning!’

We left Friedberg and headed for Frankfurt, briefly dropped in [...]

Full Throttle 2 – Day 3

140km/h, 150km/h, 160km/h, 170km/h… our poor little Ford Focus station wagon was about to explode on the autobahn.

We’ve arrived in Germany and have officially begun our Full Throttle 2 trip. Somehow we’ve managed to fit all our luggage plus all five of us in a poor little Ford Focus stationwagon.

Full Throttle 2 – Day 1

It’s exactly 12:01 am on Saturday the 25th of April and Karl is frantically packing the secondary backup camera next to me, “camera, check, wide angle lens, check, batteries, check”. Full Throttle 2 is on.

Last year in February we went to Europe and drove the Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Supperleggera and the Aston Martin DBS, so [...]

FT2: Novitec Rosso Ferrari 430 Scuderia 16M

Novitec Rosso has earned its reputation as perhaps the most well recognised tuner of Ferrari vehicles, having just celebrated its 20th anniversary with its latest creation – the TuLesto.

As part of Full Throttle 2, CarAdvice has secured yet another Australian first drive of the Novitec Rosso Ferrari 430 Scuderia 16M.

FT2: Koenigsegg CCXR

For a short time Koenigsegg held the title as the creator of the world’s fastest production car, only to be overtaken a few months later by the Bugatti Veyron.

Having already driven the Veyron, it was only fair that on our return to Europe we would also sample the current flagship of its record-holding predecessor – [...]

FT2: Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Coupe and Spyder

Our return to Italy also sees the CarAdvice team back behind the wheel of two of the latest supercars from Lamborghini with the LP 560-4 Coupe and Spyder.

In their home country these two cars certainly demand great respect, with one rumour suggesting it is impossible to receive a speeding ticket while driving a Lamborghini in [...]

FT2: TechART GTStreet R and GTStreet RS

In our contact with TechArt it quickly became apparent that these were not merely tuned Porsches we were dealing with, they were works of art with an engine.

Each TechArt vehicle is held in such high regard that while in company hands all unnecessary driving is avoided to keep the vehicles in pristine condition, so naturally [...]

FT2: Veritas RS III

In a day’s time CarAdvice will embark on its most ambitious overseas project yet, driving almost a dozen of the world’s fastest, rarest and most exotic supercars in stunning locations around Europe as part of Full Throttle 2.

The first trip certainly set the bar high, with the CarAdvice team taking the wheel of the infamous [...]

CarAdvice Podcast- Full Throttle 2

Some (stress not ALL) of the CarAdvice team are off to Europe on a car driving quest that should leave you simultaneously impressed, in awe and in a jealous rage.
First up on today’s podcast Tom and Alborz discuss their BMW X6 drive tests.
After the X6 love-in things get a little tense when Alborz announces that [...]

2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage video review

Our journey to the Snowy Mountains was certainly a spectacular one, and with two of the world’s finest looking cars, it was a few days that we’ll fondly remember. Fortunately, we captured the whole thing on video for your enjoyment.
