Ed speak

Evo

Aston Martin Valhalla prototype • Aston Martin’s long-awaited 1064bhp mid-engined hybrid is almost upon us. We get behind the wheel of a pre-production prototype for a first taste at AML’s test track

Lotus Emira Turbo SE • Amidst all the current hullabaloo at Hethel, a faster, sharper Emira four-cylinder has emerged. Could it be the new pick of the range?

Manthey Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR • Manthey Racing’s upgrade kit for the current GT3 RS wowed us on the road. Now we head to Monza to find out what difference it makes on track

FENOMENO! INSIDE THE NEW LAMBO • Revuelto-based hybrid is latest in a series of strictly limited production Lamborghini ‘specials’. We get the inside story from line director Matteo Ortenzi

JULIAN THOMAS Founder and owner of Racelogic • Julian Thomas built the company behind the VBOX into a global technology brand with remarkable reach. He races historics and moderns for fun – and for the data

RICHARD MEADEN • Revisiting affordable classics in our Eras series has given Meaden a new sense of optimism

RICHARD PORTER • Few cars bring joy like the new Morgan Supersport, although Porter knows of another

BATTTLE OF THE DOUBLE SIXES • Three magnificent V12-engined supercars, hybrid-powered Lamborghini Revuelto, twin-turbocharged Aston Martin Vanquish and pure naturally aspirated Ferrari 12 Cilindri, gather to do battle. Which will triumph?

LIVING THE V12 DREAM • Can’t stretch to a 12 Cilindri, Revuelto or current Vanquish but would love to sit behind a glorious V12? We find out what it’s like to own a 599 GTB, Aventador or Mk1 Vanquish

FERRARI 599 GTB • This could just be the sweet spot among front-engined Ferraris

LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR • Scary ownership proposition? Not if you buy well and budget carefully

ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH • With prices as low as £50k, this V12 Aston has never looked better

2020s • Which decade can claim the greatest driver’s cars? Which era best encapsulates the thrill of driving? Our five-part series has traced the trajectory of the performance car, from the 1980s through the following decades. Our aim: to find the absolute evo sweet spot, the era when all the stars align – technology, road conditions, affordability, but most of all the cars themselves. And now we’ve reached the 2020s, the age of hybrids and electrification, but also an era blessed with some truly outstanding cars

’20s MOTORSPORT • An intense rivalry in Formula 1, a reinvigorated endurance racing scene, and spectacular action in rallying; the 2020s have had it all

’80s & ’90s REFLECTIONS • Looking back, were we viewing the ’80s and ’90s through rose-tinted glasses? Or were they in fact the definition of the thrill of driving?

’00s &’10s REFLECTIONS • The 2000s saw an abundance of cheap finance and brilliant new performance cars, but were the 2010s actually even better?

TRENDS • Power, performance, equipment, weight… all these things have increased over the eras. We look behind the numbers

2030s: THE NEXT EVO ERA • What might the mid-2030s hold for the performance car? Some squinting into a crystal ball suggests it might look something like this

AND THE WINNER IS… • After five epic tests that made us think afresh about the evolution of the performance car, this is where we name our favourite era
