That’s right you can’t but it new anymore.

Now being larger than the average bear the Supra isn’t my first pick. Its low and difficult to get into, especially with crook knees and an aging back.

Once inside its tight, very tight for anyone over 180cm and boot space is limited.

But it looks stunning, especially in the matt grey we had.

Start the engine and the appeal becomes immediately apparent.

The delicious exhaust note from the 3.0L straight six-cylinder, twin-scroll turbo engine is music to your ears.

With 285kW of power and 500Nm of torque available, the 8 speed AT drives the rear wheels in classic sports car fashion.

Steering response is direct. The suspension is harsh at times, but the dynamics when pushed make up for that.

With the automotive world seemingly heading electric with soulless cars for its performance, cars with personality like the Supra will be missed. You simply cannot replicate the feeling that a performance petrol engine provides.

As you find that favourite windy, hilly section of road, the exhaust blips, as the gears change. It’s a symphony for sports car fans.

That’s the purpose for the Toyota Supra. Pure hedonistic pleasure.

The only real difference between them is the level of performance.

The RWD version will go from 0-100kmh in 6.7 seconds. Not bad., However the AWD version has a sub 4 second time. That’s quick.

I have to say few cars have attracted as much attention as these did. It was noticeable that  people were staring as I drove past When I parked people came up to me to ask what it is.

That’s because it has very unusual styling. It’s a blend of Coupe, SUV, Liftback and more. I am a big and It is one of the coolest designed cars available today.

Inside the cool theme continues with minimalist design and a spacious ambience.

Front seats are exceptionally supportive and comfortable.

In front of the driver is a sleek steering wheel, no drivers’ instruments, just a comprehensive HUD.

The central screen is the control centre of the vehicle.

It tilts towards you as you enter.

It takes a while to become familiarised with the menus. But they are generally intuitive.

There is so much technology that it’s a little intimidating. Combine this with the unique slide open boot and lay down seats and you are looking at a vehicle like no other.

It’s actually one of my favourite cars and impossible to describe in a minute.

The different car was the Nissan Z Nismo. The Z has been around for years and the Nismo is perhaps the best version yet.

Even though it’s a few years old now it still looks stunning. The design hasn’t aged at all.

Especially with the Nismo forged alloy wheels and other styling upgrades.

Inside it’s a pure two seater. No baby seat here.

The Nismo steering wheel and Recaro seats set the tone. They are purely designed for sports performance. Asis the Nismo tuned powertrain, suspension, and chassis.

Around town it’s a little harsh in rode, but the handling is excellent. This is a purely hedonistic responsive sports coupe.

The interior is getting a little dated now, with smaller central screen and the old school dash top dials. But that all somehow adds to the appeal.

While it is small, it fitted my 190cm husband in relative comfort. Boot space is – shall we say – limited.

Priced from a bit under $103,000 dollars driveaway. It’s actually not that expensive for what you get.

Nissan has a long history of building excellent and thrilling sports coupes, and the Nissan Z Nismo is amongst the best. It’s all about the thrill of driving.

The post Nissan Z Nismo sports coupe driven for 2025. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

To say this is an unusual vehicle is an understatement. It’s a crossover between a coupe, SUV, liftback and Ute all in one. And with sports car performance you are left a bit speechless.

In fact, there is nothing like it on the Australian Market.

The E07 comes in both a rear wheel drive, single motor, and AWD dual motor version. The AWD dual-motor variant boasts 440kW of power and 645Nm of torque delivering a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 3.9 seconds.

Combine this with a 600km plus range and you start to see just how impressive the E07 is.

Not only does it have striking style, inside its luxury and comfort all the way.

The Chinese brands have come a long way in the last few years and the interior ambience of the E07 is something else.

And here is the really interesting thing. The RWD model starts at just $64,900, while the AWD version comes in at $73,900, plus the usual costs.

In an Automotive world that can seem a little homogenised at times, something like the DEEPAL E07 comes along and really shakes things up. I love that.

They unveiled the Ferrari F80 in an event with Lewis Hamilton and Charle Leclerc presenting.

400 valued clients and guests were present for the reveal of the new model at the exclusive Casa Ferrari trackside venue.

This is the most powerful road car yet. It delivers a staggering 1,200 hp from a V6-hybrid powertrain that now soars to new heights when paired with our groundbreaking e-turbo technology.

The F80 sets a new performance standard for a Ferrari and for a real road car:

0-100 km/h in 2.15 s, 0-200 km/h in 5.75 s, and a new record lap time at Fiorano. You can enjoy an extreme machine on normal roads.

Representing the pinnacle of Ferrari technology, the F80 is a vision of future performance and style. A true testament to Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of performance and innovation, the new supercar pushes the limits of available technology in all facets.

However, I won’t put my order in just yet, because at 190 cm tall and larger than the average bear, I simply won’t fit unfortunately.

With Jaguar announcing they won’t build the F Type anymore; the LC 500 Coupe is one of the last luxury coupes available along with the Corvette Stingray.

This is a car that simply attracts attention everywhere. From its deep V8 burble to its beautiful design.

Its surprisingly comfortable inside with everything you would expect. The Lexus LC 500 Enhancement Pack is a $15,000 option that adds another layer of comfort.

Visibility is a little restricted and I still don’t know why they bother with two rear seats.

But the beauty is in the driving. Its bigger than you expect but so easy to drive. The five litre V8 engine has more than enough performance to keep all drivers engaged. It will do a 0-100 kilometre per hour time of less than five seconds and top out at 270kilometres an hour.

But this is a car for enjoying, not necessarily racing.

Every once in a while, I get spoiled doing these reviews and the Lexus LC 500 Coupe was definitely a pleasure to drive

The post Lexus LC 500 V8 Coupe driven for 2024 appeared first on Motoring Minute.

Here I was in a cute two door sports car, and it rained all week. It does tend to limit the fun factor a bit.

The Mazda MX-5 was first released around 1990 and instantly became a success.

It was light, well balanced and designed purely for fun. The design philosophy of Jinba Ittai – oneness of horse and rider, was evident.

Fast forward to 2024, and while the MX-5 has grown a bit and become more laden with safety features, the core design principle still exists.

While the interior is comfortable for me, if you are over 180cm it will feel cramped and in fact impossible for some taller people to actually drive it.

You do notice just how low you sit compared to the majority of SUVs around now.

The MX-5 isn’t overly powerful or fast, but its balanced. By that I mean it engages the driver to explore its dynamics without overextending yourself.

It looks stylish and inside its well laid out and has most of the gear buyers want these days.

We need more cars like the MX-5 to remind us that in an automotive world that can get overcomplicated, that driving can sometimes simply be just FUN.

The post We drive the Mazda MX-5 GT Roadster. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

Note to self, don’t buy this car unless you want to be the centre of attention.

We drove it around for the long weekend and people stared everywhere we went.

Others came up and just wanted to chat about it.

If the stunning design doesn’t engage you, the sound of the Chevrolet 6.2 litre V8 definitely will.  Its exhaust burble is music to the ears

Its also exceptionally fast. Much faster than we wanted to explore on a double demerit weekend. However for all its performance it will happily potter around town without fuss.

For a two-door sports car it is relatively spacious and has a few practical features. Like a removeable roof and a place to store it in the rear boot. There is a slot for the phone between the seats out of the way.

And the most practical feature is the ability to raise the suspension 30mm to negotiate speed bumps and gutters etc.

I have to say I had a huge smile on my face every time I drove the Corvette. Its full of personality and its great knowing that sports cars like the Corvette Stingray are still available Cheers,

The post Corvette Stingray V8 driven for 2024 appeared first on Motoring Minute.

Here is a two-door coupe with two seats and a tiny boot space. The style brings mixed reactions from people, love it, or dislike it. I like it.

Inside its tight. I’m 170cm tall and fit comfortably, but my husband is 190cm tall and it’s a squeeze for him. One he is happy to do I have to say.

The Supra GTS is powered by a three-litre inline six-cylinder turbo petrol engine. This is good for 285 kilowatts of power and 500 newton metres of torque. There is an eight speed sports automatic transmission driving the rear wheels.

Performance is good at 4.1 seconds from 0-100kmh and a top speed of 250 kmh. Not that we will ever see that on the road. On a track maybe.

As you would expect the Supra is responsive to driver inputs. Ask it to do something and it does it. Simple.

While the Supra is a lot of fun to drive I’m not sure I could live with it every day. Its for the enthusiasts.

Also there would be very little change from $100,000 dollars to buy it
