Wheels

Wheels is Australia’s original motoring magazine. Launched in 1953, we’ve been trusted by generations of Australians to provide entertaining and forthright opinions on the good, the bad and the ugly of new and used cars. A world-class car mag with a formidable international reputation, Wheels covers the full gamut of cars – from sports cars to four-wheel-drives, economy to family cars – but it also covers the people, personalities and the power plays behind one of the world’s most dynamic industries.

EVOLUTION • We all have our own opinions on what represents Gandini’s finest hour, but such is his vast body of work, and so varied was his output, that it’s almost invidious to select a handful of noteworthies. In later years, Gandini devoted his time to filing and selling patents aimed at streamlining the vehicle manufacturing process.
