Ed speak
Evo
BMW M5 • Bigger, heavier and hybrid, can the next M5 really pick up where the old one left off? A drive of a prototype provides some clues
Porsche 911 Carrera GTS • It’s finally happened: the 911 has gone hybrid. But there’s no cause for alarm – this 534bhp GTS might just be the best 992-generation Carrera yet
Cupra Leon Estate 333 4Drive • A power upgrade, a torque-vectoring rear end, refreshed looks and a host of interior upgrades make the four-wheel-drive Cupra Leon more appealing than ever
Bug mentality • Bugatti’s new hypercar is resolutely not an EV. Instead it has a near-1000bhp naturally aspirated V16 that’s supported by a trio of electric motors for mind-bending performance. Meet the Tourbillon
Ferrari builds green • Ferrari’s new €200m ‘e-building’ prepares Maranello for the future and will produce its first all-electric car. evo takes a look inside
INBOX
Reasons to be cheerful
Watches • This month’s most noteworthy new timepieces
RICHARD MEADEN • A nostalgic Meaden recalls some of his most memorable drives
RICHARD PORTER • Many marques compete at Le Mans but only a few belong there, says Porter
E AND WHIZZ • Hot on the heels of the Eletre SUV, Lotus now unleashes its fully electric Emeya saloon. The 905bhp Emeya R is absurdly rapid, but we discover it’s not the pick of the range
500 • The Indy 500 really is an event like no other. evo experiences it at first hand to see what all the fuss is about, and goes inside the McLaren team as it comes achingly close to victory
GREAT DRIVES
PASS MASTER? • It’s the moment of truth for Lamborghini’s hybrid V12 Revuelto, as we get to drive it on the road for the first time. And where better to put it to the test than Italy’s magnificent Raticosa Pass?
SIZE DOES MATTER • Most modern high-performance cars struggle when it comes to the UK’s narrow, gnarly back-roads. What’s needed here is something small, light, French and feisty… like a 205 Rallye
CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING • Has the latest 577bhp AMG GT got what it takes to challenge the mighty 641bhp 911 Turbo S as the consummate super-GT? A coast-to-coast drive on wonderful Borders roads should reveal all
GET YOUR NEXT 3 ISSUES FOR JUST £5
TOUR DE HORSE • Ford’s new Mustang Dark Horse impressed us on road and track in the States, but how will this American muscle car fare on one of Europe’s greatest driving roads?
THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN • You don’t have to go far for a great drive. Sometimes they’re waiting right on your doorstep. Though it helps if you’ve a Caterham Seven at your disposal, as three evo staffers are reminded
JUST THE TWO OF US • Two fine British sports cars, two mates and some quiet British roads: classic ingredients for a great road trip
INTO THE BIG BLUE • One country somehow combines all of our favourite roads from all over the world. We take in the majesty of New Zealand from the wheel of Ferrari’s magnificent Purosangue
Peugeot 208 GT • Can this striking French supermini bring a winning blend of fun and frugality to our long-term fleet? The test starts here
Abarth 695C Turismo • Two trackdays and a bundle of longer runs see our bond with the Abarth grow stronger
Mazda CX-60 • It had a promising premise, but a lack of refinement derailed this SUV experience
BMW M2 • Our M2 proves its versatility as...
