Award of supersized vehicle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oscar

'award' is the definition.
(Academy Award)

'supersized vehicle' is the wordplay.
'supersized' becomes 'os' (short for oversize).
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'os'+'car'='OSCAR'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for oscar that I've seen before include "Librettist Hammerstein, d. 1960" , "Note" , "- - Peterson, pianist" , "Film award; --- Hammerstein" , "Statuette awarded by Hollywood Academy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
