19 March 2018: Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder revealed

Lamborghini has used the Geneva motor show to launch its latest lightweight weapon, the Huracan Performante Spyder, almost exactly 12 months after the coupe version's debut.



17 March 2016: Lamborghini Miura SV restored for 50th anniversary

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of its iconic Miura SV (Super Veloce), revealed back in 1966, Italian supercar maker Lamborghini has meticulously restored an ageing example of the historic car.

This particular version isn't just any old Miura SV (if there is such a thing), this is the exact vehicle displayed at the Geneva motor show in 1971 on the Bertone stand.


17 March 2015: Mazda CX-3 review

The CX-3 marks the first entry for Mazda in the sub-compact SUV market, but based upon the success of its big brother CX-5 – currently leading medium SUV sales – it would have been mad not to go there.

It's now been four years since the CX-3 launched in Australia, and it's been nothing short of a sales success for the Japanese brand – you see them everywhere!



19 March 2014: Porsche Boxster GTS, Cayman GTS revealed

GTS versions of the convertible and coupe duo head to the top of the respective line-ups and fit a tuned version of the S models' 3.4-litre six-cylinder engine behind the two seats to lift power by 11kW to 243kW (Boxster) and 250kW (Cayman).



21 March 2012: Holden Colorado 7 revealed in Chevrolet guise

The seven-seat Colorado 7 will be a rebadged, localised version of the TrailBlazer, which is based on the all-new Colorado ute.

The Colorado 7 will sit at the top of Holden’s three-tier SUV line-up, joining the mid-sized Captiva 5 and larger Captiva 7.
