THERE USED TO BE AN ART TO figuring supercars. Precisely judging the right revs for the standing start, deciding whether to abruptly drop the clutch or feed it in smoothly, balancing torque against available traction, using a smear of wheelspin to keep a cammy or laggy engine on the boil, nailing the first-to-second upshift, not clipping the rev limiter. and, of course, not breaking anything

The Next Small Thing?
The diminutive Citroën C1 looks set to replace the ageing 2CV as the budget racer of choice. But first it has to prove itself, as does evo’s racing debutant Will Beaumont, in a 24-hour endurance event
P1 GTR
The fastest car we’ve timed at Anglesey Circuit is the Radical RXC Turbo 500 with a lap of 1:10.5. Can the P1 GTR go faster?
BMW M5 (F90)

Barely Legal
The new Porsche 911 GT3 is the closest thing to a racing car that can be driven on public roads. Be careful what you wish for.
Red Alert
Scottish mountain roads, alive with the sound of an F355’s flat-plane-crank V8… If you like your red cars compact, lithe and gorgeous, it doesn’t get much better than this.
24 Heaven
No ferries, said Ferrari, or racetracks, and no more than 480 kilometres. And 24 hours maximum. So, what to do with a 780hp F12tdf for the day?
Honda Civic Type R
Honda dragged its feet with the previous-generation Civic Type R. This time we’re getting one almost from the get-go, but how much has changed?
Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet

Rear-view mirrors and safety helmets have been the staples of driving and riding safety respectively. BMW reckons it can improve on this technology which has been in place for the past 100 years or so.
Porsche 911 Carrera GTS
The new 911 GTs is the best 991-series carrera that you can currently buy – provided you choose the correct variant and the right options.
