2020 Audi R8 V10 RWD Review
There wasn’t much wrong with the Audi R8 as it was, but Audi Sport went to work on a bunch of detail changes to deliver an even better supercar.

McLaren F1 Chassis 63 is unobtainable and beautiful
The owner of McLaren F1 chassis #63 handed it over to McLaren Special Operations and pretty much gave them an unlimited budget. This is the result. I have a proper car crush on the McLaren F1, as regular readers will be well aware. I nearly cried when my wife didn’t properly secure my copy of Driven Ambition and rain ruined the dust jacket. I’m too old for that and almost entirely unsentimental. I have such a crush on this car I bought an E60 BMW M5 because the S85 V10…

Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T 2019
Ferrari’s GTC4 Lusso replaced the FF a couple of years ago. In a series of very amusing events, it has taken me this long to get a hold of one. I specifically wanted the twin-turbo rear-wheel drive Lusso T because I suspected it would be brilliant. The Ferrari FF was a special kind of Ferrari. Twelve screaming cylinders, all-wheel drive, a cabin you can fit four people in and, for some reason that will never make sense to me, a boot that fits golf clubs. Mostly because I can’t imagine…

New Gordon Murray V12 Supercar: the T.50
Gordon Murray’s T.50 sounds very familiar – high-revving V12, three seats, no expense spared, manual gearbox, limited availability. Shoud be amazing.

McLaren 720S 2019 Review: Mild and Wild
It’s no secret that I don’t mind Woking’s machines, particularly the McLaren 720S . I’ve driven (almost) everything but the Ultimate Series cars and being stuck here in the back-end of nowhere in Australia makes that difficult. That’s okay – you can’t have everything. I first drove a 720S in July 2017 – McLaren very kindly whisked me to the Goodwood Festival of Speed via the Woking factory. Straight off the plane, into a bus, quick tour of the McLaren Technology Centre and boom, into a 720S. Left-hand drive. Pre-production.…

Ferrari 488’s Fate Is Sealed – Welcome to the F8 Tributo
The 488 is dead – long live the Ferrari F8 Tributo. Well, that’s a bit dramatic, but there you are. The time has come for Maranello to replace the wonderful 488 with the next-generation of mid-engined V8 supercar. The F8 Tributo (what do we think of the name?) will take Ferrari into the 2020s and is based on the hardcore 488 Pista. The most obvious change is the inclusion of the Pista’s S-Duct at the front. Providing a crap ton (okay, fifteen percent) more downforce, the S-Duct adds further aero…

2019 Audi R8 Announced – Still A V10
After four years on sale, the second-generation Audi supercar is due for a facelift. The 2019 Audi R8 has more power, torque and a new face. 2019 Audi R8 Like the new face? I do. While I really, really like the R8, it is missing a little bit of drama in the looks. I have rationalised that away on occasions – some of us don’t want to shout about it. But I’m odd that way. The new face brings some supercar bravado to the table. A new bumper and grille…
