Ed speak

Evo

Ford Mustang GT • No more four-cylinder EcoBoost engines; the latest Mustang GT is V8 only – and it might just be all the Mustang you really need

VW Golf R • The Mk8 Golf R has never really wowed us. But can the Mk8.5 change all that? A drive in a prototype version provides some clues

RadicalSR1 XXR • Radical’s entry-level racing car has been re-released in enhanced XXR guise. We find out just how good it is in the most revealing way – by racing it

Aston Martin DBX707 • Much-needed interior overhaul, plus other mid-life updates, ready the DBX for its second act

Theon Design GBR003 • For its third UK commission, the Oxfordshire-based Porsche restorer and enhancer has turned its attention to a Targa, and the result is out of this world

Hybrid power, Porsche-style • Porsche has made a whole raft of changes for the revamped, 992.2-gen 911 Carrera, including hybrid power with a twist for the new GTS

Mark Higgins Rally and stunt driver • The three-time British Rally Champion, TT course record holder and James Bond stunt driver talks about his biggest moments at the wheel

A DESIGN FOR LIFE • As a star of the very first issue of evo, Audi’s design icon is a car entwined with this magazine’s history. But now it’s no more. We drive an early Mk1 quattro alongside a late Mk3 RS to find out if it enters retirement with grace

THE LONGGOODBYE • After powering Bentleys for more than 20 years, the magnificent W12 engine has finally ceased production. We go for a farewell drive in the model where it all began – and look forward to the new Crewe generation

WORKING HYBRID • Bentley’s new Continental GT will be its most powerful and most advanced road car to date. A drive of a pre-production example provides our first taste of its new V8 hybrid powertrain

THE OF ART THE ESTATE • Fast estates have always been cool, but today they can take many forms. We pitch Peugeot’s updated hybrid 508 PSE against Skoda’s more conventional but equally compelling Octavia vRS
