There are a pair of two-star cars in The Knowledge, and we’d much rather have either of them than a Mitsubishi 3000GT.

LONG-TERMERS
Our Audi R8 V10 Performance has left us, but a BMW M135i xDrive has arrived. Meanwhile the 993 Carrera has got new engine mounts, and our new MX-5’s upgraded chassis is proving a hit.

In this issue:

DALLARA STRADALE: Dallara has an enviable reputation
on the racetrack, but can it really have made a car that masters the British B-road at its first attempt? Jethro Bovingdon finds out

EVO ARCHIVE Back in 2008, the Race of Champions allowed us to tear around its smart Wembley circuit in a quartet of scruffy, well-used, £1000 performance cars. No, we still can’t believe it either

of a more involving chassis. Antony Ingram finds out if it hits the spot

FIRST DRIVE: TESL A MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE Is this the car to convince those who enjoy the thrill of driving that an electric car can be more than a means to ease your social conscience?
 
MILLTEK VW UP GTI There’s little to fault with VW’s diminutive Up GTI, but tuning specialist Milltek has crafted a set of upgrades it thinks have improved it further. Richard Meaden drives it

In this issue:

WORKS GP v R 26.R v M3 GTS They cost a fraction of the price of
today’s exotic road racers but are no less focused in their approach, but has this trio of iconic hardcore middleweights stood the test of time?

PORSCHE 917 AT 50 A car so dangerous to race when new that drivers actively avoided Porsche’s offers to drive it, the 917 went on to become one of the fastest racers of all time. Richard Meaden tries it

In this issue:

ICON: TOYOTA COROLL A AE86 Touring car winner, rally champion and drifting icon – Toyota’s compact coupe achieved it all during its heyday, but is it worthy of its iconic status? John Barker goes for a spin

SUPERSALOON HEROES From the original E28 M5 to today’s F90 M5 we chart the rise of the supersaloon, from yesterday’s made-over  executive saloon to today’s supercar-baiting thrillers

2018 TRACK CAR OF THE YEAR: Twelve cars, five judges, two days, one circuit and several million litres of rain. This year’s
TCoty was a challenge but the spread of cars from Toyota’s feisty Yaris GRMN to McLaren’s mighty 570S Track Pack, the ubiquitous Caterham Seven to the, er, ubiquitous Porsche 911 GT3
made the trench foot worthwhile. But there could be only one
winner. Or could there...?
