In this issue

If you listed out the greatest engines ever made, a Ferrari V12 would be right at the top. The May 2021 issue of evo India is a celebration of the V12, where we line up 5 of the most iconic front-engined GT Ferraris starting with the 365 GTB4 Daytona, right up to the 812 Superfast with a detour via the 550 Maranello, 599 GTB Fiorano and F12 Berlinetta. We’ve got plenty more inside this issue, having driven the made-in-India Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo, Audi S5 and the second most powerful SUV in India after the Urus, the BMW X5 M Competition. For enthusiasts on a budget, we pit the new Maruti Suzuki Swift with its Dualjet engine against the Polo GT, Altroz iTurbo, Figo, and Nios to see which one delivers on outright thrills. We wade into the manual vs automatic debate by pitting both variants of the Porsche 911 Carrera S and BMW M2 CS to discover the differences the transmission makes to the driving experience. We’ve revisited icons from the past, including the Ruf Rturbo that outdid its contemporary 911 GT2 and the McDowell 1000 race car designed by the father of Indian motorsport, S Karivardhan. We’ve showcased both the exciting and efficient side of hybrids, sending the Lexus ES 300h properly sideways round the new layout of the Kari Motor Speedway, and driving the Toyota Camry Hybrid to a wind farm on Earth Day. We also took two epic road trips — the new Thar through the eastern Himalayas in Arunachal and the Venue to the western Himalayas around Dehradun. The Fast Bikes India section is headlined by the excellent new Triumph Trident 660. All that and much more in the latest issue of evo India magazine!
