FEBRUARY
Porsche Carrera GTS

Porsche Cayenne GTS

Mercedes Benz S-Class Coupe
Stuttgart’s Bentley-basher
lands with the ultra-opulent
interior from the new S-Class, a
thumping 430kW/900Nm from
the 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8 and
special body-tilting tech.

Audi TT
Just as sexy as its forebear, the
third-generation TT will return
as a lighter and more powerful
weapon, but we’ll have to wait
until Q4 for the arrival of the
range-topping TTS.

MARCH

Range Rover SVR

The most track-focused SUV

ever? Its Nordschleife time says

so. We’ll soon find out.

Peugeot 208 GTi 30th

30th Anniversary GTI the second

offering from Peugeot Sport,

with a proper LSD, suspension

tweaks and more power.

Nissan GT-R

Updated R35 GT-R gets minor

changes to further refine its

at night.

MID 2015

Holden Astra & Corsa VXR

Rebadged Opel hot hatches

relaunch in the local market.

Jaguar XE

The most important new

model for Jag in many years,

looking to steal sales from the

Germans; top-spec S model uses

250kW/450Nm supercharged

3.0-litre V6.

BMW X5M/X6M

This classy pair of luxurious off-

roaders arrive to scare the hell

out of supercars at the lights.

Mercedes AMG C63

launch in 2015 will also be a hot

contender at PCOTY, along with

its superstar cousin, the AMG GT.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT

LATE 2015

Fiat Abarth 695 Biposto

If you thought the Megane

Trophy R was hardcore, the

Biposto takes it to another level.

It’s got a rear roll-bar, no rear

seats and a five-speed dog ’box.

Sure to spice up the milk run.

Mazda MX-5

Audi TT Roadster

Jaguar F-Type R AWD

Jag adds a set of front

driveshafts to give its 404kW

kitty all-weather traction.

McLaren Sport Series

Lexus GS F

Won’t be as fast as its German

rivals but will provide a point-

of-difference with its naturally

aspirated V8 taken from the RC F.

Ford Mustang

Performance Cars Coming Soon

MARCH 2010

WALKINSHAW let MOTOR loose in its mental

480kW supercar-baiting sedan in the rain,

while Wakefield Park played host to our Track

Challenge which saw road-going racers and

purpose-built race cars judged on circuit thrills.

MARCH 2005

TWENTY-ONE of Australia’s best fast cars faced

off in MOTOR’s Performance Car of the Year.

Mitsubishi’s techno-laden Lancer Evolution VIII

came close to knocking Porsche off its deserved

pedestal but ultimately the 911 was too good.

MARCH 2000

TWO BIG-WINGED Japanese handling heroes

faced off in a battle of boost versus V-TEC, all-

wheel drive against two. Meanwhile, the new gen

VX Commodore was scooped and we drooled over

the 996 Porsche 911 Turbo’s tech specs.
