When Ferrari unveiled the 348 over three decades ago, it immediately set a new benchmark for mid-engine sports cars. Today, after years of continuous refinement and innovation, the Ferrari 348 remains a quintessential icon of performance and style, epitomizing the ultimate blend of speed, agility, and Italian craftsmanship Unveiled for the 1989 Frankfurt Motorshow, the Pininfarina-penned, mid-engined Ferrari 348 was the highly anticipated replacement for the iconically 1980's 328. With a revis

From the illustrious 250 GTO to the famed F40, Ferrari's supremacy in the supercar realm is unmatched. This tradition is perpetuated by the 812 Superfast, a vehicle that exemplifies the ethos of Ferrari, pushing the bounds of excellence in a way that no other supercar does At its core, the 812 Superfast is a comprehensively reworked F12, incorporating innovations from the formidable TdF. It is powered by a 588 kws evolution of the distinguished V12 engine, a lineage that harks back to the Enzo.

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

Twist the keys to the F430, push to start and select first gear which will stretch out to 8500 rpm, howling to make your shanks shake. Second gear should get you to 100 km/h in about 3.6 seconds and a traffic infringement in four seconds flat. Keep the hammer down through third, fourth, and fifth, and then sixth will tear your face clean off at 315 km/h. Born in a time when Ferrari absolutely dominated Formula 1 under the reign of Michael Schumacher and Kimi Räikkönen, the F430 has pure racin

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’

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

Launched in 2013, the F12berlinetta marked the end of Ferraris 60-year association with Pininfarina and what a swan-song it was. With less than 4,500 units believed to be produced, F12berlinettas are widely regarded as the most complete modern Ferrari, an instant classic and one of Pininfarina's best. The 812 Superfast successor was produced in numbers well in excess of double the F12 making it a far rarer gem. Described as cutting edge, understated and sophisticated, the F12berlinettas interio

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

An extraordinary achievement, the Ferrari 296 GTB stands as a worthy successor to the iconic Dino, exemplifying a marvel of engineering prowess. It serves as a formidable challenge to McLaren, demonstrating that downsizing engines can indeed enhance performance. This vehicle is a testament to Ferrari's expertise in hybrid and electric technology. Amongst its many accolades, the most significant is perhaps this: it's arguably the finest supercar available today. The 296 GTB is a complex masterpi

Not much can hold a candle to the Ferrari F355 and when sermon is in, we praise the 12 or less “pre-airbag” cars that snuck into Australia before the fun/smog police caught performance and innovation empty handed with solutions that didn’t stifle the engines we loved. These Australian delivered pre-airbag cars come to market very rarely and are highly sought after for their unrestricted engine, fuss-free ECU and most importantly, that jewel of a MOMO Ferrari steering wheel that must be one of th

A long time coming With the introduction of the 550 Maranello in 1996, Ferrari revived a configuration not seen since the 1973 Daytona 365GTB. Ferrari had long had a 12 cylinder coupe, however strange as it may seem, none had combined a V12, front engine and 2 seats, it was always two of three, but never the classic combination of the legendary 365. Immediately recognisable as a Ferrari, that gorgeous body was the work of legendary design house Pininfarina who executed both the exterior and in

Styling, exterior, interior, engine, gearbox infotainment- nothing was left untouc

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

Unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motorshow, the Pininfarina-designed, mid-engined Ferrari 348 was the eagerly awaited successor to the quintessentially 1980s 328. With an updated quad-cam V8 engine positioned longitudinally and lower in the chassis, Ferrari managed to install an F1-inspired, transversally mounted manual gearbox. This resulted in a much lower centre of gravity, allowing the weight to be concentrated within the centre of the chassis. The 348 was the first production Ferrari to feat

On its debut Motorsport Magazine remarked, “All the superlatives have been trotted out time and again, but the 328’s impeccable balance, terrific grip and uncanny stability rouse the taste buds of even the most jaded motoring palate”. The Ferrari Type 328 succeeded the vaunted 308 line-up, and when it first appeared in 1985, it instantly became a sports icon of the indulgent 1980’s. Boasting cleaner lines smoothed out by Pininfarina’s designers to make the car appear less aggressive but overal

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

Nothing draws a crowd like a Lotus Esprit, as the longest model run for Lotus it went through more changes in its 28 years than the Elise did in its 25 - it began life with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and ended with a twin-turbo V8, this accompanied with stunning looks (most famously from the pen of Giugiaro, but then refined by Peter Stevens and Julian Thomson) allied to stonking performance and beautiful Lotus handling made the Esprit plenty of fans over the decades. The V8 really put th
