The Melbourne International Motor Show which opens on 29th February will be the first sighting in Australia of the new Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S which will go on sale soon after the show

The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is set to be the star in Melbourne, a car that is both the fastest ever production Ferrari and the one with lowest ever fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions

There will be cars at the Melbourne International Motor Show claiming to be faster, some bigger, some more important, but none will be as cute, as small or wearing the Car of the Year badge
