Where will the Giant Evil Hot Hatch Death Ray strike next? It’s already blasted the Ford Fiesta and Focus ST to smithereens, blown up the Hyundai i20N and i30N, and vapourized the Skoda Fabia vRS, Seat Ibiza Cupra, Peugeot 208 GTI, Renault Clio and Megane RS, Vauxhall Corsa and Astra VXR, Audi S1, Suzuki Swift Sport… yeah, you get the idea. Hot hatches are dying out. And even the most powerful one ever made can’t escape.

In the past, Ferrari made you wait to get a suntan in one of its front-engined V12 super-GTs. Cars like the 550, the 575, and the 599 only got afterthought open-top variants right at the end of their lives—with some fairly horrendous roof arrangements hastily patted down over the cabin. For the F12, you needed your name double-underlined in Ferrari’s little black book to be invited to buy the stunning TRS version, or the F60 America.

One of my teachers once spent a while appealing for the class to make his evening paper grading less boring by enlisting an assignment of ‘revisionist’ history. Basically, the academic dark art of challenging a long-held assumption. Someone argued that maybe Britain’s World War One generals weren’t unlucky donkeys leading the lions. Perhaps they were applying tried and tested tactics to a world where new inventions like the machine gun, and poison gas suddenly existed.
