Default Evo (Magazine) videos

EVO Magazine You've probably read and seen their reviews.

Want to know what cars the evo team drive? Editor Nick Trott introduces a selection of long-term test cars from the evo Fast Fleet, during a recent photo shoot.
A recent review:

Watch a Koenigsegg CCX hit 211mph and a Lamborghini Aventador hit a verified 204mph down the two-mile runway at a recent VMax 200 event in Bruntingthorpe.

Indeed! But, my ears have been tuned to the LFA sound and the CCX sounds pretty bad.

no argument in the aural excellence that is the LFA 'Yamaha' V10. CCX is for ridiculous speeds

Consider subscribing! http://www.imsnews.com/home.php?page=magPage&pubid=8395

I know it's expensive at $7+ an issue, but well worth it IMO. Great pictures, solid writing, and overall something (sadly) USA auto magazines can only dream of being.

Absolutely.

The new Vauxhall Corsa VXR Clubsport goes up against Volkswagen's Golf GTI with the optional Performance Pack. Which will win?

Saw the thread title and was like,

"MITSUBISHI IS MAKING A COMEBACK??!?!?!"

And then I was sad.

I still feel, after 30 years of subscribing and reading auto publications , that EVO is the highest in terms of content, quality, photography, and article quality. Personal favorite for the states in Road and Track.

Chris Harris is also my favorite auto journalist

weird comparison by evo (SUV vs. luxo sedan socket) but it's fun to watch.

cayenne 0-60: 4.1 is CRAZY

equally as crazy is after 60 the S63 leaves the cayenne in the dust.

It's a battle of high power vs light weight in this latest Drag Battle, as the Caterham 7 Roadsport goes up against the Porsche Cayman S. Which will win?
