Out now: motoring iPad App 59
In this FREE issue 59 of the motoring.com.au iPad App we head to the Willow Springs racetrack with Mercedes-Benz to sample the Best of AMGThe Best of AMG is a new initiative... a chance to drive a cross-section of the performance arm of Mercedes-Benz's best and brightest. A tough job, but motoring.com.au is always up for these difficult tasks.
AMG's American cousins in the largest overseas market for AMG products – California – conducted the event, open to journos from all over.

Welcome to the Best of AMG 2013. Follow the action behind the wheel of various AMGs including the prized SLS Black Series.

If you've had a fleeting courtship with either car, then this is a must read for you.
The sample of vehicles tested for this issue is wide and varied. BMW has entered the EV arena with the i3 city-car, from first reports it has a futuristic yet welcoming interior and the tallish, almost SUV-like driving position, but what's it really like?

Nissan has launched the new seven-seat Pathfinder. The latest ‘Pathie’ loses almost all of the ruggedness of its forebears, but in doing so gains a level of comfort and refinement that will help it compete in a field now dominated by ‘softroading’ family haulers.
Last up, we got behind the wheel of a Walkinshaw W497. According to our scribe, it is about as subtle as a punch in the chops. The Walkinshaw W497 is not your average Holden sedan, propelled as it is by a heavily modified LS3 6.2-litre V8 that gifts the car the sort of thrust usually only experienced with a jet engine at full howl.
