COVER STORY
The Return of Jaguar
The company started as a small
coachbuilder and has seen ups, downs,
and multiple changes in ownership. More
recently, it's gone from staring into the
abyss to being the enthusiast's choice. In
our special Jaguar section, we discuss the
past, present, and future of the iconic brand.
We tour the Classic Works facility in England
to explore where the brand came from. We
drive the new XF Sportbrake and XJR575 in
Portugal to get an idea of where it sits now.
Then, we talk to Jaguar insiders and look at
future products to see where the brand is
heading in the future.

COVER STORY
H&R’s Incredible BMW 318IS
Restoring and modifying a car is rarely
a logical decision. The idea of spending
countless hours and cubic dollars on a
27-year-old, four-cylinder, entry-level luxury
car should make anyone with any financial
sense squirm. When the head of H&R
North America began planning the build of
a 1991 BMW 318is, it was all in or nothing at
all. Bradley Brownell traveled to the Pacific
Northwest to drive the results of a project
build chasing e30 perfection.

Alfaholics specializes in restoring and
modifying classic Alfa Romeos for
discriminating customers. We go inside
the business and find out how it all began
before we take one of its coveted GTA-Rs
for a test drive.

A better Bimmer?
You’ve seen this Dinan M4 in a previous
issue of ec. This time, it’s back with more
power and a few more tricks to impress us
with. We loved it the first time, but as we’ve
said in the past, power is not what the M4
is missing. With a balanced performance
being such a tough tightrope to walk, can
Dinan add power

Return of the King? - For several decades, the BMW M5 defined what a sports sedan should be. It was big enough to carry the family, was absolutely driver focused while offering enough luxury to allow owners to justify its premium price. As time went on, a desire for a larger customer base meant sacrifices in multiple areas. After losing touch with what the car once was, BMW has ironically turned to technology in an effort to steer the M5 back toward its roots. We traveled to the South of France to try out the latest version to see if it does indeed have everything we expect, while also being mainstream friendly enough to fuel the record demand for super sedans.

COVER STORY: CUP - The Porsche 911 epitomizes the relationship between sports car and race car. It is impossible to say which has more influence on the other, but one thing is clear: They are both better for the close relationship. We drive the 991.2 Cup Car, the latest in a long line of dedicated race cars, built from the basic road-going 911. After an amazing day at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, we come away with an entirely new respect not just for this car, but for purpose-built machines in general.

The people’s platform, Volkswagen MQB - We take an early look at the new VW Atlas three-row SUV and then talk to the man responsible for MQB development, Dr. Elmar- Marius Licharz, at the Geneva Auto Show. 

200 mph in a Beetle - Jim Douglas and Tennessee Steinmetz never did this. Driving a VW Beetle to the magical 200-mph mark.

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” —A. Einstein - Brandon Scarpelli may work in the automotive aftermarket, but that doesn’t mean he threw every part he could at his own MK7 GTI. We take a look at how he handled the difficult task of improving on an already great car, without overdoing it.

Cool Runnings - Sports sedans are as good as they’ve ever been, but that hasn’t stopped enthusiasts from replacing them with luxurious, stylish, and performance-oriented SUVs. The segment is quickly morphing into the go-to for the do-everything family car, and we take a look at two of the latest and greatest competitors from Italy and Sweden. Volvo has long been the choice for family hauling but has made giant strides in style and luxury. Maserati has been at the leading edge of style but is now looking to bring an exotic edge to a more mainstream market .

Continental Tire 2.0T Grand Prix - We invited tuners and readers to bring their 2.0L turbocharged powered cars to compete on the Streets of Willow road course and show off what they can do on
the dyno. See how the best in the industry stack up in the real world.

Scientific Squish - We discover ways to make your car handle better without the huge sticker shock you’ve come to expect. Take a dive into the art and science of polyurethane bushings with Energy Suspension and Golf R.

Project VW Passat VR6 - Our family car is quickly morphing into a performance car with a set of fully adjustable coilovers that will allow us to dial-in a whole new personality.

Bull Race - We drive the latest Lamborghini Huracan GT3 race car. We strip away the technology and complication to find the spirit of performance.

Golf Club - The Volkswagen GTI Clubsport might be the highest performance example of the hot-hatch ever built. Is it still faithful to the original concept? We drive it in conditions that make car collectors cringe to find out if, it at its core, it’s still a Golf.

I Dreamt a Dream Tonight - Alfa Romeo is bringing the romance back to the sports sedan segment. We sample the Giulia Quadrifoglio on Sonoma Raceway and the beautiful surrounding roads to be reminded what a classic sports sedan should be.

Audi Allroad -  Americans don’t like wagons, or so they think. We drive Ingolstadt’s newest crossovers to see if this great vehicle will bring wagon haters back down.

Smart For Two Cabrio - Just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t mean you should dismiss it.

Lamborghini Huracan 580-2 Spyder - It doesn’t make sense, and that’s why people love it.
