Mini’s hottest electric hatchback is a wild ride for the wrong reasons | Evo

2 days ago | evo.co.uk | Yousuf Ashraf

On the surface, everything is about right. The new electric Mini JCW has the kind of pert, compact stance, short overhangs and racy addenda that scream hot hatch. Even sitting still, it looks like it’ll be a riot. Then you read the spec sheet and that excitement turns into dread, because this JCW is hiding an embarrassing secret: it weighs 1650kg. Yes, you read that right.
Why the Mk4 VW Golf GTI is one of the car world's greatest misses | evo

Those there at the dawn of evo in 1998 will tell you it was a truly special time for performance cars.
Jaguar XJR-15 (1990-1992) review - TWR's Le Mans-winning V12 for the road

1 week ago | evo.co.uk | Henry Catchpole

This time,’ I think, as I dash through the rain towards the XJR‑15, ‘perhaps I won’t put the headset on.’ Reaching the sleek, RAF-blue supercar I swing open the thin little door and then slide across about a foot and a half of sill and seat, slotting my lanky legs beneath the curiously shaped Nardi steering wheel as I slither in and shut out the weather. It’s an entry that’s easier described than done.
When a Lamborghini press launch turned into a 25 hour fever dream

1 week ago | evo.co.uk | Richard Meaden

One of the staples of the motoring journalist’s life is the international press launch. Post-pandemic, these once legendarily lavish overseas events are just beginning to hit their stride again, albeit in a somewhat pale imitation of their pomp back in the ’90s and ’00s. It’s good to have them back. Launches have always been the part of the job that makes me feel most connected to the industry.
£15k off the price of Porsche’s standard-setting sports car | evo

1 week ago | evo.co.uk | Ethan Jupp

In 2025, the price of a new Porsche 911 has finally crept over the £100,000 mark. That is, if you go through the configurator and place an order for one all of your own. But such is the uncertainty in the market at the moment, there are now some excellent deals to be had if you go looking for them. And there’s only more to come. Take this 911 Carrera for instance. You might not think £104,900 represents much of a deal on a car with a base price that’s only just crept over £100k.
The Defender’s been updated but not facelifted and that’s absolutely fine | Evo

1 week ago | evo.co.uk | Ethan Jupp

In September of this year it will be six years since the reveal of the L663 Land Rover Defender. The model’s been through a lot in that time, with the 130 joining the 110 and 90 models and the V8 and the flagship SV-developed 626bhp Octa joining the lineup, as well as PHEV variants. Hell, Defender has even graduated from a model in the Land Rover lineup, to a brand all of its own. What’s yet to come, is a significant facelift.
A new V12-engined Italian hypercar has arrived, and it makes the Ferrari F80 look tame

1 week ago | evo.co.uk | Yousuf Ashraf

Whatever you think of the latest wave of hypercars – Ferrari F80, McLaren W1, Aston Martin Valkyrie – there’s no denying that their performance levels have reached outrageous, possibly unusable levels. Opportunities to fully explore these 1000bhp+ hypercars on the road are vanishingly small. But what about one with 2127bhp? That’s a question nobody has asked, but Modena-based Giamaro Automobili has answered. Its first hypercar, the Katla, is one of mind-scrambling numbers.
Bentley Continental GT Speed v Aston Martin DB12 v Maserati GranTurismo – car pictures of the week | Evo

1 week ago | evo.co.uk | Yousuf Ashraf

GT cars are evolving. With the onset of electrification, highly advanced chassis tech and four-wheel drive, it’s no longer a case of whacking a monstrous engine in a big, luxurious coupe and calling it a day – the latest generation of GTs are ultra-sophisticated machines with phenomenal speed, breadth and capability.
Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport v Cupra Leon 300 – what's the best mainstream hot hatch? | Evo

2 weeks ago | evo.co.uk | Yousuf Ashraf

Who makes the best hot hatchback on sale? Spoiler: it isn’t Volkswagen or Cupra. Rather, the likes of the Honda Civic Type R, Audi RS3 and Toyota GR Yaris are at the apex of hot hatch engineering and driving thrills right now, redefining what can be extracted from humble underpinnings. But they also come with some major caveats. At £50k the Honda is out of reach for most traditional hot hatch buyers, and the RS3 creeps into a space occupied by full-blown sports cars with its £60k asking price.
The automotive takeover that could’ve killed Porsche, Honda and the BMW X6

2 weeks ago | evo.co.uk | Richard Porter

August 1983 – Toyota announces that it has bought Lotus. The two companies have been co-operating for over a year, with Lotus getting Toyota parts for the Excel and Toyota getting Lotus engineering know-how for the Supra, but few expected this buy-out. Pundits are intrigued, purists are aghast, the entire car industry has just entered a new era.
