Range an issue for some when used as a GT car
Another day, another electric car, this time in the form of Audi’s entry level to its e-tron GT range, this being the 469bhp quattro model that sits beneath the range topping RS.
As with its RS big brother the Audi e-tron GT quattro is based on the VW Group’s J1 platform, the very same that underpins Porsche’s highly impressive and fast selling Taycan models. As with the Porsche models and the RS, the GT quattro has a 93kWh battery and uses the same motors on the front and rear axle with a two-speed gearbox on the rear.
Discover Taranaki’s Surf Highway 45 Keep a snowcapped Mt Taranaki on your left on a journey from New Plymouth to Hawera, and you can’t go wrong. Hopefully, the maunga’s perfect volcanic peak will be cloud-free as you negotiate Taranaki’s Surf Highway, taking time to detour down side roads to the skeletal remains of the SS Gairloch shipwreck just south of Ōakura, or the Cape Egmont Lighthouse at Pungarehu on Taranaki’s western-most point. Look forward to brisk westerlies and a winter Tasman swell rolling in all the way from Australia.
Don’t miss Two of regional New Zealand’s best galleries and museums, the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery/Len Lye Centre in New Plymouth, and the Tawhiti Museum in Hāwera.

Cold Town House As we rush to the nearest restaurant or pub it’s worth remembering that there’s not a meal or drink that can’t be improved by the accompaniment of a fantastic backdrop. Here are six of Scotland’s finest pubs with views.
1.The Pierhouse Port Appin, Loch Linnhe Tucked away on the shores of Loch Linnhe, The Pierhouse boasts sweeping views across to the Isles of Lismore and Mull. The charming original building dates back to the 19th century when it was a stopping-off point for steam vessels travelling between Oban and Fort William. Now a small hotel and seafood restaurant, its menus include Argyll langoustines and mussels, alongside oysters from Loch Creran. Take a seat on the terrace or find a place on the newly-created outdoor decking area for dinner and drinks this summer.
