Ipad App news issue 30

The latest issue of the motoring.com.au iPad App is now live in Apple’s iTunes Newsstand and as we do every fortnight we've crammed it with all things informative and entertaining in the automotive world.

If you yearn to know how the newest cars go, stop and turn, then you can sit-down and strap-in for a ride in the summer-loving Audi A5 cabriolet, and at the other end of the scale we also road-test the eco-family friendly Toyota Prius v. Marton Pettendy also heads to the UK to drive the sleek new Big Cat, the brand new Jaguar XJ limousine.

And for those who like to drive digital versions of the latest and greatest cars, we preview one of the hottest soon-to-be-released racing games, the open world Forza Horizon driving sim, and check out some nifty must-have gadgets too.

Issue 30 of the motoring.com.au App is loaded up with interactivity and entertainment and you can download it free from the iTunes Newsstand at the App Store now.
