- 2007 Porsche 997.1 Targa The 997 Targa uses the same bodyshell as the 911 Carrera 4/4S coupe and cabriolet models, and as a consequence is 44 millimetres wider at the rear than two wheel-drive 911 models.

- This curvaceous 2014 Maserati GranTurismo is about much more than just speed or luxury, though it packs both aplenty. Distinction, style and the essence of Italian exotica. It evokes passion in its owner and envy in one’s rivals. Its blended with a Ferrari-sourced 4.7-liter V-8 engine under its sculpted bonnet which gives it that sister-branded touch of sport which is […]

- 2009 Ferrari F430 Coupe. ‘Ferrari’s baby Enzo or at least that’s how it was described on the front cover of Evo 074. It seemed to sum up the F430’s appeal: strikingly modern, brutally potent and chock-full of engineering and aerodynamic knowledge gained in the heat of Grand Prix battle.

The 458 is a culmination of so much of what’s important in mid-engined […]
- 2006 Mini Cooper S. So you’ve noticed the unique bits of spoilerage – the carbon fibre wing on the roof is particularly eye catching. Apparently they were actually designed in a wind-tunnel. The 18-inch wheels were a new introduction and each of the 2000 cars has its production number stickered on to the top of the roof. Oh, and did […]
