In 1963 Jaguar started work on 18 special E-Type GTs produced specifically for endurance racing, but only 12 were originally built.

52 years later those final six lightweight E Types have finally been made. Here's what Jethro Bovingdon thinks of one.

Mid-engined, rear-wheel drive normally aspirated supercars are a rare breed, which should make the new LP580-2 has Lamborghini even more of an evo favourite. But does it?

Boasting 550hp from a Nissan GT-R engine and enough aero to pin it to the roof of a tunnel, the Renault Sport R.S. 01 is like a baby LMP1 racer.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S boasts 572bhp and manages 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds. On paper, it looks to be the ultimate everyday supercar.

evo's Dan Prosser puts the facelifted 991.2 Turbo S through its paces at the Kyalami circuit in our review here.

The Ford Mustang 5.0 GT's £34,495 price and 415bhp 5-litre V8 gives it the potential to be the performance bargain of 2016. But can it deliver on its promise in the UK?

The Ford Focus RS is one of the most eagerly anticipated cars of 2016. With its £29,995 price tag, 345bhp, four-wheel-drive and Drift mode this is one of the best real-world performance cars money can buy. Henry Catchpole explains why.

The McLaren 570GT joins the 570S and 540S in McLaren's Sport Series model line up, offering traditional McLaren levels of performance with a touch practicality.

With a 562bhp 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 the 570GT is claimed to reach 62mph in 3.4-seconds and top 204mph. With its opening rear hatch it's also the most suitable day-to-day McLaren the company has built.
