Something I’ve always loved about cars are the constant changes, updates, new ideas and of course the new models. This innovation keeps us fresh, and provides more and more choices for our clients. And right now the number of new models coming is really exciting.
The new Ferrari Roma Spider is a stunning car. The beautiful lines of the Coupé are retained while the convertible offers a totally new driving experience. This is a future classic.
Abarth is a fun brand. It makes you smile. It makes other people smile too! The new 500e is coming our way with all the fun Abarth are known for – and for the first time a fully electric drive train.
Aston Martin have announced the latest in a long, famous line of DB's with the DB12. Aston have called it a “Super Tourer” and when you see it in the metal there is no doubt why.
The new Audi RS6 and RS7 Performance take already great cars and make them even better – and the new McLaren 750S takes this brilliant car to a new level.
With brands like these in our family, there is never any shortage of stories to update you on.

FERRARI ROMA SPIDER
Elegance meets excitement. Together, they make art.
This is the new Ferrari Roma Spider. The Coupé has already won hearts and minds globally thanks to the stylists’ art and design proportions that most admirers believe to be very nearly perfect.
The new convertible is all this, and more. Has there ever been a better evocation of ‘La Dolcé Vita’?
This is the first front-engined, soft-top Ferrari in more than 50 years. The roof itself is 5 layers thick and a work of engineering genius, at the very least a match for the contribution of the designers.
Being a Ferrari, the Roma isn’t all show either. The 456kW bi-turbo V8 ensures 0 to 100km/h takes a mere 3.4 seconds. What’s more, it’s a 2+2, so friends can enjoy the experience as well.
Later in 2023, we will have an example here for you to fall in love with. Contact us if you’d like to see it.

ABARTH 500E
The future doesn’t just look like fun. It drives like it.
Some cars just feel right, both for their style, and the times in which they’re created. It’s obvious we’re in a period of change now and we need to make more sustainable choices, but that doesn’t mean we can’t embrace a little fun at the same time. Enter the Abarth 500e.
The new Abarth 500e is peppy, excitable, and refreshingly unpretentious.There are very few cars at any price that make you smile or feel alive the way this does. And the 114kWs of power and 0 - 100 time of only 7 seconds are just two of the reasons.
The Abarth will make you grin as you squeeze the pedal and dart for a gap, park on a postage stamp, and enjoy the city-friendly performance that the instant torque of electric drive provides. There’s a reason the Abarth 500e (and its cousin from Fiat) are among the top-selling electric cars in Europe.
Orders are open now on the Abarth 500e with the first cars arriving later in the year. Let the fun begin!
MCLAREN 750S
Proof that less can be so much more.
McLaren has applied the mantra of less weight plus more power equals increased performance quite obsessively in the new 750S.
The instrument cluster is now 1.8kg lighter. The windscreen weighs 1.6kg less and the exhaust weighs 2.2kg less. No less than 30% of the parts have been updated to reduce weight and increase performance compared to the already-blisteringly-fast 720S.
While weight has been stripped, driver comfort and amenity hasn’t. A new Bowers and Wilkins stereo can pump up the mood, if for some reason the wailing V8 isn’t enough. And in just 4 seconds, the front lifts to clear driveways and speed humps.
The updated V8, now producing 552kW, is attached to a revised 7-speed DSG gearbox that responds even faster than before. Even the aerodynamics have been sharpened to help the car cut more efficiently through the air.
For the first time, Coupé and Spider have been released together. Likely to the be the last McLarens without hybrid or electric drive, the 750S will become a collector’s focus all around the world. Orders are now open with first cars arriving later in 2023.

ASTON MARTIN DB12
A new era in a continuing tradition.
Few cars in the world are hand-made with the level of love and attention bestowed on an Aston Martin. The new DB12 takes this to another level.
A completely new interior embraces the latest Advanced Driver Assistance technology while still respecting the brand’s incredible lineage. This new interior design points to the way ahead for all future Aston Martins.
Up front, a newly developed V8 produces more power than the previous V12 while being both lighter and more fuel-efficient. The 500kW Twin Turbo V8 can accelerate the car to 100km/h in just 3.6 seconds – Supercar level performance in a car that’s comfortable enough to devour long distances with ease.
The performance of the new DB12 has created a whole new class of car Aston Martin have named the ‘Super Tourer’.
The first media reports have been effusive - and created a lot of interest already. Our first cars will arrive later in the year so please contact us to be among the first to test drive the latest DB.

More practical, accessible, unbelievable performance from Audi.
There are few companies capable of making such capable, practical and luxurious cars that perform at Supercar levels the way that Audi can. Amazingly, the new Audi RS6 Avant Performance and RS7 Sportback Performance have again raised the bar. Like the famous RS products of the past, the performance is reality-shaking with a 0-100 time of just 3.4 seconds.
The new 4 Litre TFSI bi-turbo V8 in both variants generates 463kW of power (22kW more than before). And torque is now up to 850Nm (50Nm more than previous).
The engine note and handling have both been improved and the new interior graphics and other personalisation options will ensure these Audis reflect their owner’s undeniable (and understated) taste.
We’d suggest you enquire quickly. Global demand for these cars has been as extraordinary as the performance.

BEHIND THE WHEEL – CUPRA BORN
One test drive. Two kinds of feeling good.
Driving the pure electric Cupra Born, a thought kept occurring. Is this the car you need and the car you want, all in the one package? It’s spacious, practical, quiet and refined. But also exciting when you want it to be.
Late brake into a corner and the turn in and mid-corner response is just as a driver’s car should be - planted, neutral and forgiving. This is a chassis tuned by those who like to drive. The weight of the battery doesn’t dull the Born’s responses either. It’s all very balanced and composed.
Although obviously a driver’s car, this isn’t a one-dimensional driving experience. It’s relaxing in traffic or fun when the roads are yours. The easily adjustable drive settings mean the Born can mood-shift as you do, becoming whatever car you need, whenever you need it. Simply push the Cupra button on the steering wheel to change the experience.
The near-silent drivetrain allows your music to be truly immersive. The optional Beats stereo is a box worth ticking here. It’s powerful and crystal clear.
In short, some cars add up to more than you expect, simply because they allow you to feel good about your choice – on every level. Test drive the Born and you’ll see what we mean.

SUPPORTING THE MATILDAS
Passions run deep in sports too.
Zagame were thrilled to be part of the Matilda’s FIFA Women’s World Cup warm-up match at the Marvel Stadium vs France.
CUPRA’s sponsorship of the Matildas is a relationship built on passion and performance. It all came to life spectacularly on the night. The atmosphere at the game was electric, and it showed how thrilling the Matilda’s teamwork and game can be.
CUPRA also sponsored the entertainment by DJ Hot Dub Time Machine…this took the buzz to a whole other level.
A special thanks to the CUPRA owners who showed their support and were just as excited to be a part of the night.
And now the Matlidas go through to the quarter finals of the World Cup!
ADELAIDE RALLY 2023
More motoring excitement comes to Adelaide.
It should be obvious by now that the Zagame team are passionate about driving experiences. The cars we sell are made to be enjoyed. That’s why we’ve embraced the Adelaide Rally in November this year.
Three days of driving across 30 Touring stages on Adelaide’s iconic driving roads – with closed road stages up to 20km long – make this an exciting addition to Australia’s motoring calendar.
Last year’s Zagame Tour group was 55 cars strong including McLarens, Ferraris, Porsches and other sporting marques. Already, this year’s enquiry list is growing beyond that.
If you’d like to take part, contact us soon and we can detail all the experiences and inclusions that make this event so unique. A range of evening social activities complete the 3 day calendar – so the highlights aren’t all found on the road.
All you need to decide is which car to take and enjoy the drive.

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE GALA
A glittering night to support families in need.
Zagame were proud to be the Platinum Partner of the Ronald McDonald House Gala at Crown recently. The work of Ronald McDonald House in supporting the families of sick children is legendary, and to meet the families on the night and hear their stories only confirms the valuable work this organisation does.
We were pleased to donate an all-electric CUPRA Born for the major raffle prize and help contribute to a record fundraising total.
Thanks to the Zagame clients, partners and staff who gave their time to support Ronald McDonald House.
Our thanks also go to Garem Dursun of Garem Jewellery for providing one of the major raffle items, which certainly added to the glitter of the gala!
