It’s a more compact design than the Genesis GV70 we drove last week. Designed from the platform up as an EV.

It’s style is a blend of coupe and SUV and looks great in the flesh. Lots of people commented about its looks and most really liked it.

Inside the pure EV design shows in a  simple and spacious feel. There is an abundance of storage space, and the dash layout is driver focused.

The GV60 Performance Lux All Wheel Drive model comes with a the 77.4 kilowatt hour battery with some 360 kilowatts  of power and a healthy 700 newton metres of torque.

This is good for a 0-100kmh time of around 4 seconds. That’s quick for any car.

It also has a real life range of between 400 – 450 kilometres.

Coming from Genesis, you expect the GV60 to be full of luxury, comfort and safety features and it doesn’t disappoint.

There is a lot to like, but in honestly not a fan of the digital external rear view mirrors. It takes a long time to get used to them.

Priced from around $114,000 plus the usual costs

The post Genesis GV60 Performance Lux AWD SUV 2024 Review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

This coincided with the launch of the upgraded Audi RS6 Avant Performance and RS7 Sportback Performance models.

On the day I got to drive an RS3 on the skid pan, trying but failing to perfect drifting and slides. It was huge fun though and shows two things. How good the little RS3 is and having fun in a controlled environment is always better.

On the track I drove the latest RS e-tron GT and the RS6 Avant Performance.

It was an eye opener to the differences between the EV and turbo V8 engines. The RS e-tron GT was blindingly quick off the mark and with its wide track and instant torque, it powered its way around the track.

RS6, was my pick for the day

The RS6, however was my pick for the day. There really is nothing better than that deep V8 burble, the exhaust notes under acceleration and the blips as you change down gears. The aural experience adds to the driving experience immeasurably.

The benefit of the drive day was that I could push my boundaries on the track, with one-on-one guidance from the instructor in the lead car.

When I started to think I was doing okay, all I needed to do was realise that the instructor was cruising ahead of me keeping an eye on me in the mirror and talking through a two way radio correcting my line and braking etc, all while driving at race speeds.

Ive done a number of these style of days over the years, and I cannot recommend enough that if you are keen to experience what a car can really do on a race track, the the Audi Sport drive days are first class.
