Founder and Editor, Road News
Koome M. is the founder and editor of Road News. He started it because most coverage of exotic and luxury cars is written for overseas buyers, and the Australian details, such as luxury car tax, import rules and what a car costs to run here, are hard to find in one place.
He researches and edits every article on the site. Prices, tax figures and availability are checked against primary sources, such as the ATO, state revenue offices and the car makers, and the date of each check is recorded. The full method is on the How We Check Our Facts page.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS has been called the Widowmaker since the original GT2 earned that nickname in the 1990s – a rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive car with enormous power and no safety net for the unwary. The 991.2-generation GT2 RS, produced from 2017 to 2019, is the most extreme expression of this idea in modern Porsche […]
The Aston Martin DB12 arrived in 2023 as the replacement for the DB11, and it came with a significant upgrade: more power, more technology, and a more assertive personality that positions it directly against the Ferrari Roma and Porsche 911 Turbo S in the grand touring market. In Australia, it is the most complete Aston […]
The Lamborghini Revuelto is the car that replaces the Aventador, a V12 icon that spent twelve years as the most recognisable supercar on the road. Replacing it with a hybrid seemed, on paper, like a difficult proposition. In practice, the Revuelto takes everything the Aventador did right, adds a plug-in hybrid system, and produces something […]
Two point seven seconds. That is the 0-100 km/h time for the Porsche 911 Turbo S in coupe form. It is a number that requires some context to appreciate: this is a car with seats for four people, a usable boot, a full suite of driver assistance systems, and air conditioning. It is practical in […]
The Lamborghini Huracán EVO was Lamborghini’s bread-and-butter supercar for the better part of a decade – the car that funded Sant’Agata’s more extreme projects and introduced more people to the Lamborghini experience than any other model in the company’s history. In Australia, it remains one of the most desirable second-hand supercars on the market. Understanding […]
The Porsche 911 Carrera S has been Australia’s benchmark driver’s car for longer than most people care to count. Not the most powerful car available, not the most exotic, and not the most expensive – but the one that consistently delivers the most satisfying balance of performance, usability, and character. The current 992-generation Carrera S […]
Owning a Ferrari in Australia is an experience that dealers and brochures describe in carefully curated terms. What they tend not to cover in detail is the financial reality, the logistical complexity, and the specific character of Ferrari ownership in this market. Here is what most potential buyers in Australia are not told before they […]
Ferrari’s 296 GTS is the open-top version of the 296 GTB, a plug-in hybrid mid-engine sports car that marks a new direction for Ferrari’s entry-level mid-range sports car. It pairs a twin-turbocharged V6 with an electric motor to produce 610 kW (830 CV), and it does it with the kind of sensory drama that makes […]
What 680 Horsepower Looks Like in School Drop-Off Traffic There is a particular kind of absurdity to the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid. It seats five adults with room for luggage, rides with the composed comfort expected of a large luxury SUV, and will hit 100km/h from a standstill in 3.8 seconds. It weighs 2,490kg unladen. […]
Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS: the 911 GT3's 4.0-litre flat-six in a mid-engine Cayman, PDK only, and how it compares with the 911 GT3 RS.
