Audi has revealed the Nuvolari, a 736kW V8 hybrid supercar that replaces the iconic R8 as the brand's halo model. Limited to 499 units globally and priced at around $940,000, it sets a new benchmark for Audi performance — and targets Ferrari and Lamborghini directly.
Mazda, Nissan, Honda, and Toyota are all producing models in partnership with Chinese manufacturers. A senior automotive journalist asks the uncomfortable question: if a brand's car is designed and built primarily in China, does the badge on the grille still mean what it used to?

Look closer, and the picture is more complicated — and the Hormuz crisis has changed the calculus again. Here's what Toyota's strategy actually means for Australian buyers.
A Volkswagen board member says internal combustion cars will eventually be replaced by EVs the same way cars replaced horses — through gradual consumer preference, not government mandates. Here's what that framing means for Australian buyers navigating the petrol-to-electric transition.
