The Knight in V10 Armour After a decade of teetering on the brink of disappearing into the abyss with so many other iconic marques, Lamborghini under the ownership of VW knew they needed to pull something very special out of the hat. Enter the Gallardo. Named for the 18th century Spanish bullfighting breeder Francisco Gallardo (meaning Gallant), the Gallardo was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva motor show and from the second the covers were whipped off, it was a runaway success and put Lamborghini b

With a 1990s movie portfolio that would put Tom Hanks to shame, the Lamborghini Diablo became the ‘it’ car of the decade. Wherever it went it was admired and whoever was seen in it, well, they had made it. But there was one version of the Diablo that was a little more daring than the others, the rear-wheel-drive 5.7, V12 Diablo. First contemplated in 1985 as a successor to the Countach (another vehicle with a strong film presence) Project 132 had a one-line brief – the car must have a top speed

The best sports saloon....ever Commencing production in 2021 and listing a raft of improvements over the already astonishingly capable M5 Competition, the M5 CS fast became THE ultimate M-Car and global production sold out instantly. Every single one of the only 20 allocated to Australia was snapped up as soon as BMW confirmed availability in our market. Fortunately the car lived up to the hype with the CS being even that much better than the Competition on which it was further honed and revise

The Bat for The Batman Some Lamborghinis are famously named after famous Spanish Fighting Bulls, and this car was certainly named for one of the greats. Named “Murcielago” (Spanish for “Bat”), the first clean sheet design in over 11 years was worthy of being named after the legendary bull that survived a brutal fight in 1879 with such passion and spirit to captivate the audience and be given the honour of retiring and being a leading sire A huge leap-forward in design, ergonomics and performa

At CHROME TEMPLE we feel the the ingredients for collecting success need not be many. Complementing fire breathing high capacity engines and analogue driving characteristics should be strong provenance and true scarcity. With just 100 units produced globally (rarely will you find such a low production number across any marque) to celebrate 50 years of Lamborghini and the most successful model to date, this last of the line Gallardo was the culmination of the very best aspects of the Gallardo.

The Aventador is a car that needs very little (if any) introduction. As the replacement for the Murcielago, which had been a game changer for the brand, the Aventador had to be pretty special. Launched in 2011, the Aventador LP 700-4 was light years ahead of the car it replaced, yet still contained all the ingredients that immediately made it recognisable only as a Lamborghini. In other words, it was utterly mad. The initial version of the 6.5L V12 produced 515kW and was good enough for 0-100 i

When Porsche revealed the first 911 Turbo more than 40 years ago, it swiftly established itself as the new standard for high performance. Four decades of engineering evolution later, Porsche introduced the 911 Type 991 Turbo, a potent and unwaveringly functional model that undoubtedly stands as the ultimate and most practical supercar available today. For a bit extra, you can opt for the more potent and engaging Turbo S. The Turbo S is propelled by a 3.8 litre Twin Turbo flat-Six with Porsche’

Porsche started making turbo road cars in the 70’s with the type 930. These vehicles have developed over the last 50 years into some of the fastest and most desirable road going vehicles on the planet and are arguably the benchmark that all other road cars aspire to be. The combination of performance, power, precision, practicality and driveability is seldom attained by another manufacturer. In each generation of Porsche Turbo there is inevitably a better, faster and more exclusive limited-edit

A timeless and unbroken design crafted by Englishman Toni Hatter and Porsche’s last truly handmade car, combined with what would be the final and ultimate factory refinement of the universally adored air-cooled M64/60 Boxer engine, the Porsche Type 993 911 Turbo is one of the most sought-after and thrilling modern classics rarely available today. Producing an impressive 408 horsepower with the assistance of twin turbochargers to achieve a 0-100km/h sprint time of just 3.8 seconds and featuring

A racing engineer’s car, developed from a racing car that filled trophy cabinets and one of the most raw and unbridled road cars Porsche owners could sink their teeth into, the 911 Type 930 Turbo was and will continue to be an out and out supercar legend. Designed by Ernst Fuhrmann to be Porsche’s halo car, the 930 Turbo was produced from 1975 through to 1989 and constantly evolved over its 14-year production run, with the final incarnation of its kind released in 1985. The pinnacle of Type 93

When the 911 Type 964 was first brought to market, Porsche was keen to emphasise that, although it was patently still a 911, it was, in fact, 87% different from the outgoing model. The new 911 design featured more integrated bumpers and numerous mechanical changes. Displacement was raised to 3600cc, producing an impressive (even by today’s standards) 250hp. Power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard, and the old torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shoc

Over four decades ago, Porsche introduced the world to the first 911 Turbo, an automotive marvel that immediately redefined high-performance standards. Fast forward through forty years of relentless engineering innovation, and Porsche gave birth to the 911 Type 991.2 Turbo, a machine that embodies power and uncompromising functionality. In their July 2017 review, Motor Magazine exclaimed, "It is monstrously fast and capable, with extraordinary brakes and immense grip... Despite its relatively m

If there was an automotive dictionary, next to the term ‘useable supercar’ would be a photo of a Porsche 911. It might not have always been a supercar in the true sense of the world - certainly not when it was first released in the early 1960’s. Even back then, engine power under 100 kw didn’t quite cut the mustard. However, in subsequent decades the 911 morphed into a car worthy of the title, yet never strayed from being a car that practically anyone could drive anywhere, anytime. For many dec

When Porsche unveiled the Cayman GT4, it immediately set a new benchmark for mid-engine sports cars. Today, after years of continuous refinement and innovation, the Porsche Cayman GT4 remains a quintessential icon of performance and style, epitomizing the ultimate blend of speed, agility, and German engineering. Porsche has always been the master of GT cars, and for many purists the letters G and T signify this perfect balance between track-readiness and road-going legitimacy you would find in

With collectors around the globe climbing over each other for an allocation for the new Porsche 911 ST Type 992, it's important to reminisce over its origin story. By the end of 1971 the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512 battles were over and the 5.0 litre (‘big bangers’) had been replaced by a 3.0 litre formula for sports racing cars. Porsche now realised that the development of the 911 for GT racing had become excitingly urgent. So in 1972, the Porsche racing department developed the 911 S into a l

Launched in 1983, the Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera seamlessly combined the traditions of its predecessors with touches of modernity, comfort, and enhanced performance. This model was chosen to commemorate the 25 years of the 911. As a special edition in MY89, marking the end of the 3.2 Carrera production, this particular example stands out as one of only six hard-top 911 3.2 Carrera 25th-anniversary models ever delivered new in Australia. Globally, Porsche sold 875 units, all adorned in 'Marine Meta

Few know it, believing instead that the Cayenne SUV turned Porsche’s tides, but the Porsche Boxster was the car that saved Porsche as it faced financial ruin throughout the 1990s. Not so much of a revolutionary idea, rather one that expanded what Porsche was already doing with the 911, the Boxster brought the brand to a new fashion-forward audience keen on top-down roadster motoring. Such an important model in a brand’s history deserves celebration, enter the 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster 25 Years
