Ed speak

Evo

Toyota GR Corolla • Could the UK yet get the Yaris’s big brother, and should we be excited?

Ferrari F355 by Evoluto • The F355 is one of the all-time great Ferraris, but it’s not perfect dynamically. Evoluto sharpens the performance and handling, and adds a hint of 288 GTO

Polestar 5 • Polestar’s new flagship has winning looks and up to 871bhp, but will it find any buyers?

Cupra Raval VZ • Has Cupra’s latest electric hatch got what it takes to beat Alpine’s A290?

Mercedes-Benz S-class S580e • Luxury flagship gets overhauled with updated powertrains (including a new V8!) and a divisive digital interior

MEET THE iFERRARI • Styled by Jony Ive and Marc Newson of Apple fame, the all-electric Luce is a Ferrari like no other. You’ll make up your own mind about the looks; here’s what lies behind them

LOTUS PREVIEWS NEW ESPRIT • Reborn supercar will have V8 hybrid powertrain, is expected to target Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren Artura, and should go on sale in 2028

JAMES CAMERON Founder, Mission Motorsport • From commanding tanks to founding a military motorsport charity, James Cameron’s life has been defined by high-intesity driving. Here he shares the eclectic garage that fuelled his journey

RICHARD MEADEN • Meaden searches for the positives about the Luce. This could take some time

RICHARD PORTER • The Horsepower Wars are getting worse, says Porter, but EVs make them tolerable

1970s THE SUPERCAR • Last month we uncovered the roots of the modern supercar, concluding with the Lamborghini Miura, the car that established the template. Now we set out to trace the supercar’s evolution, starting with the decade that saw the first proliferation of the genre, from Countach to Berlinetta Boxer, 911 Turbo to Aston V8 Vantage. It’s an era of diddy alloys, balloon tyres, banks of carburettors, wild paintjobs, shagpile carpets, and not a driver aid in sight. Enjoy the ride!

BACK IN THE REAL WORLD: FORD CORTINA Mk3 • Comparing classic supercars is one thing; how they compare to an ordinary, bread-and-butter car of the same era reveals even more

‘70s SUPERCAR CONCEPTS • In fashion terms, the ’70s were the decade that style forgot, but when it came to concept cars, designers pushed the boundaries like never before

SUBSCRIBE • FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A POCHER KIT WORTH £1255

400 • We’re already big fans of the Morgan Supersport. Now, for the Supersport 400, it’s had a power boost from 335bhp to a little over 400bhp, with a soundtrack to match and an uprated chassis. The result: near supercar performance

M POSSIBLE DREAM • This shouldn’t be happening – BMW never offered an E46 M3 Touring. But it did exist in concept form, and now a British company has recreated it in fastidious detail. We drive the result – and it’s every bit as good as you’d hope

KNIVES OUT • Volkswagen and Toyota have just released the best versions yet of the GR Yaris and Mk8 Golf GTI. Does either have what it takes to overcome the brilliant Civic Type R?

Peugeot 106 Rallye • It provided the purest thrills and barely missed a beat, but after eight years it’s time to bid farewell to our classic Pug

Skoda Kodiaq vRS • An ominous noise signals an unscheduled pit stop for our SUV

BMW M3 CS Touring • With unflappable composure and estate car utility, the CS proves itself the ultimate N24 companion

Audi RS3...
