Porsche 911 2025 review: Carrera GTS T-Hybrid - Australian first drive

By Andrew Chesterton · 26 Mar 2025

Yes, this new 911 is technically a midlife update, but the changes here go beyond skin deep. Leading the charge, so to speak, is the introduction of a hybrid option for first time, with the 911 Carrera GTS debuting a new t-hybrid powertrain that dials up the performance. But it also fundamentally alters everything we’ve come to know, and love, about the 911. But is it a change for the better?

Mercedes-AMG CLE53 2025 review - Australian first drive

By Byron Mathioudakis · 12 Mar 2025

The Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4Matic+, for now, serves as the CLE flagship. That means no V8, but a 'double charge' turbo and electric compressor enhanced 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine that nearly matches the Audi RS5 and BMW M4's outputs. All-wheel drive, four-wheel steering and adaptive dampers provide further grand-touring credentials – but does it drive like an AMG should?

Mercedes-AMG GT63 2025 review: Coupe - Australian first drive

By Byron Mathioudakis · 07 Mar 2025

The second-gen Mercedes-AMG GT coupe looks similar but changes substantially compared to before. The now larger body gains more seats and a larger boot, dramatically improving practicality.

But is this enough to beat a Porsche 911?

Chevrolet Corvette 2025 review: E-Ray

By Byron Mathioudakis · 07 Jan 2025

When mainstream brands decide to build supercars, magic happens: Ford with the GT40 in the 1960s; Honda's NSX of the '90s and now the Chevrolet C8 Corvette of the 20s. But the E-Ray - the fastest production version in the series' 72 years – ups the ante with hybrid tech, adding extra pace, efficiency and civility to a great American sports car. Wild yet worldly, the C8 E-Ray is something special.

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2025 review: snapshot

By James Cleary · 15 Oct 2024

If you’ve popped a couple of brave pills the finely-tuned, track-ready Corvette Z06 sails over the $300K threshold at $336,000, before on-roads, and gets serious with inclusions like top-spec multimedia, Nappa leather-trimmed GT2 sports seats, borderline F1-size rubber and heaps more.

Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 2025 review: snapshot
