John Law
Deputy News Editor

Born in Sydney’s Inner West, John wasn’t treated to the usual suite of Aussie-built family cars growing up, with his parents choosing quirky (often chevroned) French motors that shaped his love of cars.

The call of motoring journalism was too strong to deny and in 2019 John kickstarted his career at Chasing Cars. A move to WhichCar and Wheels magazine exposed him to a different side of the industry and the glossy pages of physical magazines.

John is back on the digital side of things at CarsGuide, where he’s taken up a role as Deputy News Editor spinning yarns about the latest happenings in the automotive industry. When he isn’t working, John can be found tooling around in either his 2002 Renault Clio Sport 172 or 1983 Alfasud Gold Cloverleaf.

Lambo's hybrid V8 powerhouse detailed
By John Law · 17 Aug 2024
Lamborghini has revealed its much-anticipated Huracan replacement and, like the Revuelto, it is a hybrid.  The goal is not fuel economy, though — the Temerario is all about pace. And don’t worry about the loss of the 5.2-litre V10 because the new V8 spins up to a scarcely believable 10,000rpm, or 1000rpm higher than a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
