It might be theoretically possible for example, to build a smartphone with a double quad core processor and 4k display and 64-bit digital audio converter but it’s going to have the shortest battery life and the heat it would generate would literally burn a hole in your pocket… besides, if you’re only going to use it to watch youtube videos, the four or six-inch screen simply isn’t big enough to display all those pixels, the tiny on-board speakers will never do the sound processor justice, and streaming a 4k video on the go won’t be doing your mobile data plan any favours.

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 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.
