Ed speak

Evo

McLaren W1 • The P1’s successor has arrived, with 1258bhp and surprising manners

Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet • It’s the most powerful open-top 911 you can currently buy, but can it match the GTS for sheer driving enjoyment?

Honda Super-N • Japan’s kei culture has given us some memorable cars; this EV could just be one of the best

Porsche Taycan E-Shift • The latest EV to adopt virtual gearshifts is the Taycan – and they’re weirdly compelling

NUVOLARI: NEW ERAAUDI • Audi’s bold new supercar shares its chassis and hybrid powertrain with Lamborghini’s Temerario, but is even more powerful – and carries a £500,000 price tag

RETURN OF THE CELICA • Toyota GR is developing a new mid-engined sports car, to be powered by a 400bhp turbocharged ‘four’, with the Celica name set for a comeback. We meet chairman Akio Toyoda and get a taste of what’s to come with the mid-engined M Concept prototype

MEETING MR GRAN TURISMO • Almost 30 years after it was launched, Gran Turismo continues to go from strength to strength. We sit down with its creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, and find that he’s still as driven as ever

MASTER KLASSE • BMW’s M Concept Neue Klasse is nothing less than the new M3 – with electric power and 650+bhp. But fear not, there’ll be a petrol-powered version, too

MARTIN DONNELLY • Motorsport’s toughest survivor was the inspiration for Brad Pitt’s character in F1: The Movie but his real-life story is more fascinating, and inspiring, than a Hollywood script

RICHARD MEADEN • Why Britain’s little-known Pikes Peak hero blew Meaden’s mind on the mountain

RICHARD PORTER • We’re all armchair experts in car design, but in reality it requires real skill, says Porter

ATOMIC SMITTEN • With 525bhp, the 4RR is Ariel’sfastest, most powerful and most expensive Atom ever. We strapin – very tightly indeed – to putit through its paces on road and track

1980s THE SUPERCAR • Issue by issue we’re tracing the evolution of the supercar, from its roots in the ’60s right up to the modern day, and this month we’ve reached the ’80s – the era of big wings, big tyres and ever-bigger power outputs. The Countach has reached its zenith, Ferrari’s response is the Testarossa, and Porsche has honed the Turbo to new levels of brilliance. With competition from Aston, De Tomaso and Lotus, the choice is mouthwatering

BACK IN THE REAL WORLD: FORD ESCORT Mk3 • While supercars dazzled, normal cars made huge strides in the ’80s, and none illustrates this better than the first front-drive Escort

’80s SUPERCAR CONCEPTS • The 1980s could boast some truly spectacular supercars, but the concepts that never made it into production were every bit as intriguing

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

HORIZON HUNTERS • BMW’s M240i looks conspicuously good value right now, but can it match Audi’s ballistic RS3?

APEX TWINS • Maserati’s £1m MCXtrema track-only hypercar shares much of its DNA with the MC20 GT2 race car that costs less than half as much. So which delivers the richer experience?

GT TOO • As with Maserati, Mercedes-AMG has a GT2 contender of its own – and despite its brutal looks it’s a wonderfully driveable beast

Toyota GR Yaris • The GR Yaris is still a five-star hero, but daily driving one has exposed some compromises
