AUDI E-TRON
Quietly charging ahead.
Audi has long been an expert in automotive technology, with a history of highly advanced aerodynamics and the pioneering use of aluminium construction to reduce weight.
So it’s no surprise the Audi engineers are embracing electrification and leaping to the front of the class.
The RS e-tron GT currently on sale not only looks incredible, it has also just set a Production Car lap record at Bathurst in stock, road-legal trim.
This 4 door coupé joins Audi’s e-tron SUVs to complete a compelling range of performance-oriented Audi electric vehicles. They’ll be joined by new Q8 and Q5 hybrid vehicles later this year.
Driving the RS e-tron GT re-sets your expectations of what a performance car should look, feel and sound like. Here, supercar-level performance meets luxury meets serenity. All in a package that feels immediately at home for those who know and love the traditional performance car.
Take a test drive as soon as you can. Words don’t convey how amazing these new Audi electric models feel behind the wheel.

ASTON MARTIN VALHALLA
Valhalla. Mastery. Driven.
The new Aston Martin Valhalla has the potential to leave driver and passenger both shaken and stirred. In a good way!
Two electric motors and a flat-plane V8 combine to create a whole new set of expectations.
There’s more than 690kW available with a press of the throttle. Maybe that name makes even more sense now…Valhalla was the reward for bravery.
We have a pre-production version of the Valhalla here now. Let us know if you’d like to see it.
2023 is Aston Martin's 110th anniversary year, and the new DB11 is coming soon. That will be close to bespoke-manufactured motoring heaven too.

Enjoy your Bentley more while using less.
Bentley is driving to become one of the world’s most sustainable luxury automotive brands.
The new hybrid versions of the Bentley Bentayga and Flying Spur deliver notable reductions in fuel use and emissions, while sacrificing little of Bentley’s renowned performance.
These vehicles can both travel more than 40km on electric power alone – enough for most inner-city journeys. This is not a timid level of electric performance either, the Bentayga luxury SUV can easily travel at more than 100km/h on battery power alone. While driven normally, the open road speed limit can be achieved in a mere 5 seconds or so.
When luxury and performance are such well-established brand tenets, there is no room for compromise. Take a test drive of these new models and you’ll see what we mean.

MCLAREN
A new performance artist.
The McLaren Artura is a hybrid…but not like we’re used to.
For the first time since the fabled P1, McLaren has used hybrid technology to shrink horizons and blow minds. All while retaining the ability to operate as a sustainable, electric-only city car.
On a circuit, the outer limits of the performance envelope are more accessible than ever before. The cutting edge traction electronics are your servant, not your master.
The level of performance is awe-inspiring, thanks to 500kW of power – and perhaps more tellingly – 720Nm of torque from just 2250rpm. This level of torque ensures throttle response is lightning fast in a way that a purely combustion-engined powertrain could never be.
There has never been a McLaren quite like the Artura. It sets a new benchmark as we move into a new, more sustainable era.

FIAT 500E
La Vita Elettrica
When the reborn Fiat 500 was launched in 2007, it was an inspired nod to the original Fiat 500 of 1957. Such is the appeal of the design, it has remained virtually unchanged ever since.
The new fully electric Fiat 500e is the most dramatic re-imagining of the iconic 500 concept. Tellingly, most of the changes lie under the photogenic skin.
This style and lifestyle icon is a truly European take on electric drive. It’s been so successful, the 500e is the best-selling electric city car on the continent, and now it comes to Australia.
The 500e is quick to charge, zippy at the lights, a joy to pilot. Throttle response is electric-instant, and a lot of fun.
It’s a nice place to spend time too. The re-designed interior manages to retain the retro charm while embracing digital modernity. With a large, easy-to-read screen, as well as a driver-focused binnacle display, this is ‘la dolce vita’ with a whole new level of power.

ALFA ROMEO TONALE
A new Alfa for a new era.
The new Alfa Romeo Tonale is compact on the outside but packed with features and technology on the inside.
This is Alfa Romeo’s first production hybrid model…combining an energetic turbocharged petrol engine with the additional torque and efficiency of its supplementary electric motor.
Tonale will be available in Australia exclusively with hybrid powertrains…a tangible commitment towards lower emissions and fuel consumption with this efficient yet powerful technology.
The Tonale feels alive and driver-focussed, just like an Alfa Romeo should. The interior embodies uniquely Italian design flair which is both luxurious and beautifully detailed.
Prices will start from around $55K so the new Tonale satisfies both the head and the heart!

Sustainable excitement in Cupra.
There’s a lot of demand for the new hybrid-powered versions of the Cupra Leon hatch and the Formentor SUV.
All Cupras, including hybrid vehicles have performance and driver engagement forming a large part of their DNA.
The Formentor and Leon plug-in hybrids allow you to run errands around the city in E-mode using pure electric power. While on the open road you can unleash the full 180kW of combined power for an exhilarating drive (while recharging the battery using otherwise wasted energy – such as when you brake). It’s a win-win for the drive and the environment. And the Fringe Benefits Tax advantages of hybrid models provide another win for the owner.
We are only weeks away now from the launch of the CUPRA Born, the first fully electric car from CUPRA. Delivering 170kw of power, with a 0-50km/hr time of only 2.8 seconds the Born promises a great driving experience with an impressive 511km range on a single charge. Born isn't all about the tech though, the aerodynamic design reduces drag and oozes style.
This Spanish brand is a great example of how motoring may change, but the enjoyment and thrill of driving will remain. Call in and enjoy a test drive.
As the Spanish would say, it’s a chance to enjoy ‘La emocion de la vida.’

FERRARI 296
Driver focus meets future focus.
The new Ferrari 296 is a V6 hybrid version of a current Formula 1 car.
The 296’s hybrid tech is designed to achieve largely the same effect – to increase the performance and driveability of the car. But while F1 performance increases are incremental year on year, the 296 looks more like a very large leap.
It sets new standards for what hybrid technology can add to the supercar experience.
Like all Ferraris, the 296 obeys a driver’s commands – only faster and more intuitively than ever before. This is technology used to enhance the drivers’ experience, rather than distance them from it.
It’s no surprise that road testers and purchasers all over the world have embraced the Ferrari 296 as one of the best handling Ferraris of all time.

LAMBORGHINI
The bull isn’t done raging yet…
The Lamborghini brand has always been defined by two things.
Styling, and performance.
Each – more often than not – as dramatic as the other. These traditionally-powered thrillers may be amongst the last of their kind. But Lamborghini will never go ‘quietly into that dark night’. Just look at the colours…
It will come as no surprise that these new models extend the performance and stylistic boundaries.
The Huracan Sterrato is a whole new breed of supercar…one that doesn’t need to stop when the tarmac does. An extra 44mm of ground clearance with long travel WRC-grade suspension makes this car formidable on a dirt road. Yes, dirt...If nothing else, speed humps (the bane of the supercar owner’s life) won’t be such a big issue.
The Urus S takes these skills to a whole other level. This super SUV can accelerate to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds and hit a theoretical-in-Australia top speed in excess of 300km/h. All while carrying 5 people and their gear in dramatically-styled luxury.
There is literally nothing else quite like it.
The bush, the snow and untold excitement are all just a flex of the right foot away.
