Summer is on in full earnest and things are scorching hot. Speaking of which, we got things properly boiling with the new Audi RS5. It's lost some cylinders but has upped drama and boy, is it a hoot to drive. There's another contender for drama this month – the Thar Wanderlust. It's a customised Thar which could intimidate anybody with its tough styling. So we took it far away from people and into the wild to unleash its true potential. But it's not just the over-the-top drama queens that got attention. We also took the rather unassuming Skoda Octavia vRS and pit it against a wide range of cars. From hot hatchbacks to Grand Tourers. Why? Well, because we can. For our younger readers, those who've just about stepped into the wonderful world of riding, we've got a fun competition between three very capable and peppy scoots. Find out which one you should be begging your parents for. And away from all the hustle and bustle of the common rag-tag, there are two flagship sedans. Sophisticated, luxurious, brimming with tech, the Merc S-class and BMW 7-series engage in a gentlemen's duel. We've also got the usual slew of drives and rides this month. From the new Toyota Yaris, Ford Freestyle and BMW 6 GT to the Mahindra XUV500, the Yamaha R15 and the Jaguar F-Type SVR. We also get chatting with a new electric vehicle player who may have just found the solution to viable mobility solutions. All this and a lot more in the May issue.
