SPECS PACKAGE DRIVE VERDICT Before you get all up in arms about the fact these two aren’t strictly spec-for-spec rivals that shouldn’t be compared, let us explain. Basically, if you’re in the market for a high-end sports car, perhaps you’re going through a mid-life or three-quarter-life crisis, and you have […]

2018 Lexus RC F 10th Anniversary Edition review (video)
In a world of turbochargers, smaller-capacity engines, hybrid-electric, and fully electric cars, it’s actually refreshing – especially for those who appreciate the finer things in life – to see at least one mainstream carmaker is continuing to offer a raw, high-revving, naturally aspirated V8. We don’t like our chances, but […]
2018 Jaguar F-Type 2.0 turbo review (video)
It wasn’t all that long ago when sports cars featured small-capacity engines and relied on lightness and agility for performance. Nowadays though, as modern cars become safer, more refined and comfortable, and filled with more technology, obesity is inevitable. But, some carmakers are trying to rekindle the spirit. The Jaguar […]
2018 McLaren 570GT review (video)
Supercars and practicality don’t often come hand-in-hand. However, the McLaren 570GT is designed to be as everyday-friendly as a supercar can be. It’s still a mid-engined, supersonic machine underneath, but it has a spot you can put your shopping. The 570GT sits in the entry level ‘Sports Series’ section of […]
2018 Nissan 370Z review (video)
The Nissan 370Z was one of the first cars we reviewed at PerformanceDrive, way back when we launched in 2011. Move along to the present and we’ve been thrown the keys to a 2018 Nissan 370Z. The question we have now is, how is a sports car that launched so […]
2018 BMW M4 CS review (video)
In a world of nanny states, anti-roll, anti-skid, anti-drive, and basically, anti-enjoyment, the 2018 BMW M4 CS is one of few cars on the market at the moment that instigates good old-fashion hooliganism and tyre-shredding fun. The M4 CS (club sport) is the cream of the current BMW M3/M4 crop. […]
2018 Jaguar F-Type 400 Sport review (video)
Welcome to the most powerful V6 Jaguar currently on sale. It’s called the Jaguar F-Type 400 Sport, and it is, in our opinion, the best-balanced sports car in Jaguar’s current showroom. The 400 Sport (aka 400S) has been launched to celebrate the release of the MY18 range and it’s up […]
2018 BMW M2 LCI review (video)
It’s been regarded as one of the best BMW M cars of all time. It’s also one of the few remaining small cars on the market equipped with rear-wheel drive and an inline six engine. So, just how good is the BMW M2 after a mid-cycle update? BMW Australia recently […]
