I grant you you’re not going to nip to the local dealership and purchase one of these track day monsters, but there’s no doubting the ability of the Caterham SP300R. The SP300R is going to be featured in a one make race series that will no doubt be a test bed for up and coming […]
Following a winning end to a dramatically successful debut season for the Ford Fiesta in global rallying competition, Ford is running works Fiesta models in the 2012 British Rally Championship. The move adds another step in Ford’s ‘ladder of opportunity’, which allows aspiring rally drivers to develop from motorsport’s grass roots to the top using […]
This is the new Megane Renaultsport 265, to give it the official title and what a looker it is! Available to order now in two versions: 265 Cup available for £24,825 on-the-road and 265 at £26,025. Performance is up, with the 0-62 sprint being completed in exactly 6 seconds. Top speed is up over the […]
This is the Audi A1 Quattro – the smallest super-powered car that Audi produces. With four wheel drive from the bespoke Quattro system and 256PS at 6,000rpm (and 350Nm of torque between 2,500 and 4,500rpm), this is a small car that slips easily into the hot hatch category. Perhaps surprisingly, there will be only 19 […]
If you truly love cars, then you will appreciate what Harry Metcalfe (evo magazine’s Founder and Editorial Director) has to say about the Pagani Zonda C12S that he owns. Yes, you read it right. Metcalfe owns this stunning piece of Italian exotica. He is a very lucky man. Few cars capture the imagination in a […]
I recently had the pleasure of attending the Volkswagen Racing Cup 2011 at Donnington Park, which was an absolutely great day out (article to follow shortly). Whilst there, I heard a rumour that a unique car would be on display. The vehicle in question was the BAC Mono. Just before the lunchtime break, I turned […]
Sometimes, I read or see a car review and actually wince. You’ll know if it’s a particularly bad one as I’ll do this several times as I’m reading. Certain superlatives used in the car world really drive me nuts. Things like ‘best in class’ – I mean unless you’ve actually driven every one and can […]
Granted, it’s what EVO do. But, if you have a high definition monitor, whack the video up to maximum and enjoy a little slice of supercar magic as the following cars take each other on: McLaren MP4-12C vs. Ferrari 458 Italia vs. Noble M600 vs. Porsche 911 Turbo S.
James May provides yet another insightful article at The Times Online, discussing why we’re so obsessed with performance figures. To a degree, I’d say he’s right, especially with so many cars with similar levels of performance these days. Perhaps we’re almost reaching a plateau, where the next development in supercars won’t be to hit 0-60 […]
I’m a big believer in the idea that a car that wins in the year should be available to purchase in the year. E.g. a car that wins the 2010 award should be able to be enjoyed right now, otherwise what’s the point? With this in mind, I have a few condenders I’d like to […]
