    Audi S8
    THUD! THE S8 JOLTS TO A STOP WITH THE kind of force you’d associate with running into the back of a builder’s transit or hitting a low wall down an unlit cul-de-sac. The emotions are the same, too: the instant shock, confusion and fear. Only, there’s

    Tiff Needell Racing Driver And TV Presenter
    ‘MY FIRST MEMORY OF CARS IS BEING ON the rear shelf of my dad’s Ford V8 coming back from Goodwood,’ says Tiff Needell, the lilting, nasal tones as instantly recognisable now as they’ve always been. ‘I only went in it two or three times before the car

    MY WIFE’S CAR SUFFERED A MYSTERIOUS DING that hacked a big chunk of paint from the edge of the driver’s door. Worse still, her car is black, so it looks cack. And as I was getting ready to repair this, something dawned on me: paint is a bloody stupid

    MAKING CARS IS HARD, making supercars is harder still – unless you’re Ferrari, of course, which has a current market capitalisation greater than either Ford or BMW. While McLaren might be catching the scarlet cars on track, it’s in a soapbox race com

    Origins Of The Species
    SIMPLY ‘TURBO’ SUFFICES. WE ALL KNOW it means ‘Porsche 911 Turbo’. Always has, always will. The flagship of the 911 range; the sensible, bargain supercar. As the 50th anniversary of the model is now upon us, there’s no better time to look at why the

    The Anatomy Of A Penske Pc23 Indycar
    BEFORE THE CALAMITY KNOWN AS ‘THE SPLIT’ IN Indy racing circles, the CART (Championship Auto Racing Teams) IndyCar series was America’s premier single-seater racing category and a genuine rival to Formula 1. Indeed, as the series spread to Australasi

    Toyota GR Yaris
    WITH SUPERB TIMING, THE GR YARIS ARRIVED JUST after we’d accepted Toyota’s invitation to drive a prototype of the second-generation car at Jarama, Spain. It was also just after our massive test of hot hatches, in which the Yaris finished second. The

    Technology Overload?
    CAR MAKERS ARE BECOMING MORE AND more out of touch with the enthusiast. Cars are becoming too heavy, too big and overpowered. And worse, they are becoming overcomplicated and weighed down with equipment that is not relevant to a pure driving machine

    FOR EX-FORMULA 1 STAR GIANCARLO Fisichella this might be a mere side-hustle, but he’s not leaving anything on the table. The braking seems impossibly late, the Ferrari 488’s huge carbon-ceramic brakes pulsing with ABS and the tyres squealing as ‘Fisi

    Mazda CX-60
    THE MAZDA CX-60 IS NOT AN EVO CAR. That probably isn’t a surprise. Nor is it a damnation. For every scintillating sports car, a household can also conceivably need a workhorse. And we’re drawn to understated, utilitarian workhorses, aren’t we? Retchi

    Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio
    TOGETHER WITH THE GIULIA QUADRIFOGLIO tested on page 78, Alfa Romeo has given its super-SUV a package of updates for 2024, which will likely see it through to the end of its life. Among them, a boost in power from 503bhp to 513bhp, new LED matrix hea

    EXCITEMENT. IT BUBBLED THROUGH THE crowd as Volkswagen whipped some adorably dinky covers from the Up GTI at its now defunct Wörthersee GTI Treffen in 2017. A show usually chockful of Golfs, this little critter arrived with a startlingly similar foot

    BMW M2
    NOT SO MUCH A ‘NEW ARRIVAL’ AS A ‘new-ish arrival’, we actually acquired our M2 at the start of the year. But because we couldn’t resist putting it straight into battle with Mercedes’ recently facelifted AMG A45 S for last month’s twin test, only now

    Porsche 911 Carrera GTS
    THE FIRST THING ANY PASSENGER IN the 911 comments on is how nice the interior is: it’s a clean, modern design, with that sense of hewn-from-solid quality journos like us often bang on about. It is – one might say, frequently – a nice place to be. Not

    Abarth 695C Turismo
    ‘RICH, STOP IT. YOU’RE DRIVING LIKE A knob.’ It was a harsh but fair assessment, wearily delivered from the passenger seat of the Abarth by Mrs M after yet another journey characterised by what I’d describe as juvenile exuberance. Yes, at 53 years of

    Loved the mid-engined stories in evo 320. They brought back memories of my 1995 MR2 that I owned for 23 hours before aquaplaning it into a parked Fiat Multipla on a rain-sodden A3. (I bought another one a couple of days later and enjoyed it for the n
