It's evo Car Of The Year (eCoTY) time again! Tight battles abound all across the contenders, with the hotly-anticipated Toyota GR Yaris facing off against the evergreen Mk8 Volkswagen Golf GTI and updated Honda Civic Type R for hot hatch honours; and the Porsche Cayman GTS finally coming equipped as the gods intended (with a flat-six engine) to do battle with the Alpine A110S and BMW M2 CS. Meanwhile, the holy trinity of Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren make up the "dream car" entries with the F8 Tributo, Huracan Evo, and 765LT, and there are some true oddballs in the Ariel Nomad R, Morgan Plus Four, and Aston Martin DBX to bring some spice to the proceedings.

Elsewhere in the issue, we also have a Singapore-exclusive twin test of two of the rarest and most hardcore hot hatches on the island, the Renault Megane RS300 Trophy and new Mini John Cooper Works GP, with both proving that in the real world, the most fun cars aren't the ones with the most power.

Finally, we bring you all the details on the new 992-gen Porsche 911 GT3, McLaren's future-proof Artura hybrid, Gordon Murray's idea of the ultimate driving machine, the GMA T.50s, and the official arrival of the Morgan brand to Singapore.

Enjoy!

2020 may have been a dismal year, but at least this issue presents plenty of new metal to look forward to in 2021: sneak peeks at Maserati's first super car since the spectacular MC12 and Nissan's 21st-Century revival of the 240Z, as well as early on-road impressions of the new Ferrari Roma and Mk8 VW Golf GTI. We also find out how a quartet of sports saloons (Porsche Taycan, Mercedes-AMG CLA45 S, Jaguar XE and Volvo S60 T8) and a pair of off-road icons (Land Rover Defender and Jeep Gladiator) fare in our sunny island.

Elsewhere, we take a deep dive into the controversial new BMW M3 & M4, bid an emotional farewell to Bentley's 70-year old 6.75-litre V8, and find out how McLaren's new race-car-with-number-plates stacks up against the evergreen 911 GT3 RS.

Quite possibly the most anticipated car of the last 30 year graces our cover. The GMA T.50 is poised to be the true successor of the iconic McLaren F1. As usual, this issue of evo Singapore is packed full high-performance exotica; the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, Lamborghini Essennza SCV12, Ferrari SF90, F8 Spider and because we’re a magazine of the people, the BMW M2 CS and Porsche Cayman GT4... 
Coming back to Earth, we can exclusively reveal why the new Honda City RS is faster than the entry model. We also have the first drive of the Aston Martin DBX, Mercedes-AMG A 35 Saloon and many more.

There’s nothing like serious horsepower to blast the pandemic blues away. In this issue, we have Ferrari’s V12 GT legends head to head; 812 Superfast, F12 Berlinetta, 599 GTB, 550, 365GTB4.
Lamborghini's V10 meets the V12 legends
The latest Porsche 911 Turbo S meets the original icon
And because we’re a magazine of the people, there’s also a review of the Lotus Exige Sport 350 if you’re looking for a supercar that won’t break the bank.

Welcome to the first fully digital edition of evo Singapore! To do out part in the battle against COVID-19, we making this issue a free download to encourage readers to stay home. Some of the most exciting sports cars of 2020 can be found in this issue including the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante, McLaren 600 LT spider, BMW M8 Competition and Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 to name a few. There’s also an epic showdown between the BMW Z4 M40i and the Toyota GR Supra that’s not to be missed!

This issue is available as a free download to encourage you to stay home and fight COVID-19 together. Relax, inform and entertain yourself with the latest issue of evo Singapore.

We take an epic road trip across New South Wales, Australia in a fleet of Lotuses, learn how to drift a BMW, find out if synthetic fuels can save the Internal Combustion Engine and we get to drive Toyota’s up-coming pocket rocket as well as the Group A rally legends that inspire them. As always, Porsche fans can look forward to our review of the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 and an amazing restomodded 1972 911.

If you like hot hatchbacks, you are going to love the Nov-Dec 2019 issue of evo Singapore. First up is the Renault Mégane RS Trophy-R as you may have guess from its over-the-top moniker, this is easily the most focused hot hatch ever. Carbon fibre wheels anyone?

Then we drive the BMW M135i xDrive for our first taste of the all new 1 Series. 

The car of the moment is the Porsche Taycan and we’ve got that too. And for the die hards, a steady supply of 911 stories starting with the 992 Carrera 4S, base Carrera and the original 996 GT3 which turns 20 this year. How time flies!

The idea that the best new Porsche isn’t a 911 might sound like sacriledge, but we’re glad that the German sports car manufacturer hasn’t held back with the 718 Cayman GT4 and producing it exclusively fitted with a manual gearbox and naturally aspirated flat-six makes it the perfect antidote to the turbocharged, self-shifting cars that are getting increasingly homogenous these days. Don’t worry if you’ve only got a Class 3a license, there’s plenty in this issue that you can drive too.

We compare three of the best hot hatches on the market today: the Honda Civic Type R, Volkswagen Golf R and the game changing Renault Megane RS.  The Porsche Macan gets a mid-life facelift plus we take an exclusive drive in a re-imaging of the original TVR Speed 12. We also sample the snowy peaks of the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds on New Zealand’s South Island in the M2, M3, M4 and new M5 and learn the art of sideways in a winter wonderland.

The best rear-wheel drive cars of 2018 are in this issue. 
How will Porsche improve on the last 911 GT3 RS? Our extensive test in the 991.2-generation reveals all. The German sports car maker turns 70 and celebrates by unveiling the all-new 911 Speedster. Is this the car enthusiasts have bee waiting for?

We look at some of the sexiest metal from the Geneva Motor Show, including the Mercedes AMG GT 4-door coupe, BMW M8 Gran Coupe Concept, Ferrari 488 Pista and Lamborghini Huracán Performante Spyder. And the Lotus Evora GT430 takes on the mighty Porsche 911 GT3.

Not one, but 7 winners in the eagerly anticipated evo Car of the Year review. With so many car categories to count today, we felt it only fair to give each respective group an overall winner. Plus, drapes are pulled back on the 911 GT3 RS (991.2) should you find the hardcore 911 GT2 RS just a little too uncompromising. There’s also a hard to call head to head between Porsche’s lightweight 911 T Carrera and the equally slimmed down BMW M4 Club Sport while evo Singapore’s Sheldon Trollope heads for the heat and sand of Dubai to put the new Porsche Cayenne through its paces over a few dunes.

On the road in the wild Porsche 911 GT2 RS, the most powerful 911 ever built. Plus, we put a compact super saloon in the shape of the Audi RS3 Quattro against the BMW M2 super coupe. The future of automated, fully electric cars was on display at the Tokyo Show, while back home we provide a taster of what to expect at the Singapore Motor Show.
