Buckle up for the latest season of our Facebook Watch & IGTV ‘Lunch Run’ series, where we talk cars, the tastiest dishes available for pickup on Uber Eats – and a healthy serving of smack.

Istanville Pide & Kebabs In The Porsche Taycan 4S

Istanville Pide & Kebabs In The Porsche Taycan 4S

This tech-laden all-wheel-drive sports sedan might be electric, but it hasn’t lost its Porsche DNA. We take the first ever electric Porsche for lunch. How good.

Manoosh In The Lamborghini Urus

Manoosh In The Lamborghini Urus

A total of $101,951 worth of options don this 2021 Lamborghini Urus in a scintillating ‘Verde Mantis’. A one-of-a-kind package with the Urus – as it nearly perfects the blend between supercar and SUV. For the money though, you could actually get a supreme example of both – and separately, for that matter.

WATCH

The Fish Market In The Aston Martin DBX

The Fish Market In The Aston Martin DBX

Aston Martin put a huge bulk of their chips on red for this car. Specifically (and quite literally), this ‘Hyper Red’ DBX – the first ever SUV from the 107-year-old British marque. But have they hit the nail on the head, or slightly missed the mark?

WATCH

Plumer Chicken Shop In The Mercedes S-Class

Plumer Chicken Shop In The Mercedes S-Class

A refreshing change up to our recent slog of hot SUVs, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class makes its debut in our Lunch Run series to offer a sedated luxury that’s welcomed equally by those up the front as it is by those in the back.

WATCH

Small’s Deli In The Porsche 911 Turbo S

Small’s Deli In The Porsche 911 Turbo S

The ever so seductive – yet discreet – Porsche 911 Turbo S. With a supercar price tag but a badge that only a handful of true car aficionados would recognise, the Turbo S represents the pinnacle of understated performance in the half-million-dollar club.

WATCH

St Jude In The Defender 90 X

St Jude In The Defender 90 X

12 months on from our time with the Defender 110, the little fella arrives down under in a two-door short wheelbase variant. While this car might be a $150,000 kitted out beast, it’s surprisingly the more compelling of the two.

WATCH

Stacked Sambos In The Ferrari Roma

Stacked Sambos In The Ferrari Roma

We’ve had our eye on the Ferrari Roma since its preview to Australia last year – and it’s easy to see why this particular prancing horse has stirred the most conversation from observers ever since. While we usually avoid chain restaurants in this series, the folks at Stacked’s North Sydney locale really turned it on for a dynamic duo of scrummy sambos.

WATCH

Mori Japanese In The Audi RS6

Mori Japanese In The Audi RS6

The RS6 will always be a one-of-one. If you know, you know, and that’s why we love it. And considering you can fit three kids, your mountain bikes, and a set of skis on the roof, all the while doing 0-100 in 3.6 seconds, it really is a whole lot of car for the money.

WATCH

ChilliLime Pork Rolls In The Land Cruiser 300 Sahara ZX

ChilliLime Pork Rolls In The Land Cruiser 300 Sahara ZX

Easing back into the year means reducing the lunch options so you really only have to think about the essentials – enter ChilliLime Matraville, which is slinging a short but sweet ensemble of scrumptious lunch rolls. John and Jack take the LC 300 for a spin to discuss the massive 4×4.

WATCH

Zeus Street Greek In The Aston Martin Vantage Roadster

Zeus Street Greek In The Aston Martin Vantage Roadster

The Vantage Roadster is bloody enjoyable to drive, but a few key features (or lack thereof) make it a tough sell as a daily driver. And while you might pay a little premium for it, the consistency of Zeus’ takeaway food is always worth the return visit.

WATCH

Gelato Messina In The Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge

Gelato Messina In The Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge

Here it is – Rolls-Royce’s Black Badge Ghost – an edgier, more urgent expression of the king of the road. The boys channel their best Entourage for this episode of Lunch Run, which skips straight to dessert, and for good reason.

WATCH

Room Ten In The Electric Polestar 2

Room Ten In The Electric Polestar 2

Despite a few niggles with public charging options around Sydney, there really wasn’t anything bad to say about the Polestar 2. It’s a very compelling package for the price point.

WATCH

The Char Rotisserie In The Revolutionary BMW iX

The Char Rotisserie In The Revolutionary BMW iX

When you put its polarising design aside, we can confirm once you enter the cabin you’ll discover a home-run when it comes to both interior comforts and technology.

WATCH

Salty Rooster In The Custom $200k Defender 90

Salty Rooster In The Custom $200k Defender 90

This is no ordinary Lunch Run. Hot off the factory floor from custom outfitters The Tales of Land Rover is this glorious Defender 90 that’s been re-built from the ground up.

WATCH

Pina Deli In The New Nissan Z

Pina Deli In The New Nissan Z

A complete relaunch of its predecessor, the Nissan 370Z, the Nissan Z comes in a sharper package that starts at $73,300. It screams grin-inducing boy racer, but can it deliver?

WATCH

Johnny Bird In The Bentley Continental GTC Speed

Johnny Bird In The Bentley Continental GTC Speed

Capping off a bountiful year of tasty wheels and even tastier feeds, we wrap this year’s Lunch Run season with one convertible to rule them all, Bentley’s Continental GTC Speed.
