PODCAST

A free-range Raptor launch and the hottest hatch on the market

carsales' new podcast, The Showroom - Car News and Views has everything that's hot and happening in the car world. Listen now!

The wheel has been spun and first up on The Showroom floor with legendary motorsport commentator Rusty is Sam Charlwood, all-round rev head and carsales Senior Editor. Having recently been to the Ford Ranger Raptor launch, Sam spills the beans on the epic free-range test drive he was given with Justin Capicchiano, Ford Performance and Special Vehicle Programs Manager.

The guys tell us what they really think about new high-tech cars, and we also meet Ross from Road n Track, who has the enviable job of selling a Subaru so special it comes with an $800,000 price tag. This month’s Hot Topic questions whether or not the dealer is done with guest Ben Wilks, brand director of Cupra Australia; and the Best Hot Hatch of 2022 is revealed after rigorous testing by the carsales team.
