Welcome

Star contributors

Rule book? What’s that? • A world of firsts for Ferrari as its new SF90 Stradale flagship goes digital… in more ways than one.

SECOND OPINION

BMW draws up hit list of doomed models… new X8 signed off… new i3 looms

Truly silent luxury • Merc’s EQ flagship will be an EV limo, the EQS – a roomier, silent sister car to the S-Class.

Mercedes G-Class, baby! • Merc’s new GLB takes a dash of G-Class cool, stretches it over an A-Class chassis, then throws in seven seats.

Zetsche The exit interview • After 43 years at Daimler, and with Mercedes-Benz in rude health, CEO Dieter Zetsche is stepping down

It’s e-fficial: Corsa plugs in • Electric Vauxhall Corsa raises the curtain on new Anglo-French supermini.

‘It’s great how it’s all turned out!’ • Engineer Tetsuya Tada was the car-mad kid who’s made a Le Mans-winning sports car maker of Toyota

Six questions only we would ask

Splicing in Evoque’s genes • Discovery Sport gets a refresh

Zone rangers • Holiday time! Speedos, Ray-Bans, an £11k travel watch…

War of the worlds • More than Ferrari versus Mercedes, the battle at the sharp end of F1 is one of two contrasting philosophies. What exactly has Merc got so right?

Audi bets its S models on black • Taking a diesel punt on S cars is brave, but an electric compressor gives Audi a strong hand.

AUDI’S S TDI HOW IT WORKS

‘Packaging electric all-wheel drive is way less complex’ • Electrification is transforming all-wheel drive – even Ferrari is now joining the hybrid four-wheel-drive party. GKN’s Theo Gassman and Merc’s Volker Marx explain why

Big data, little details: Ordnance Survey’s new mapping tech • UK roads under the microscope

It’s like eyes in the back of your head • Meet a blindspot-defeating system that’s simple and effective. Pity it’s only available on a £70k hydrogen car.

Does it work?

SEEING BACKWARDS HOW IT WORKS

Blast from the past • Brawny, rear-drive and with a storied name, the new Supra is old school. We pitch Toyota’s long-awaited Cayman rival against tough and timeless Welsh roads

Data

Nothing to see here • The first electric car from the car maker that invented the car is a big deal, surely? Nah. Mercedes’ new EQC might be electric but above all it’s a Mercedes

THE FIRST HOUR

Data

Lawrence of Dagenham • Ford’s pick-up goes full desert racer, except for the oddly weedy engine

THE FIRST HOUR

Data

The fat lady sings • Drink it all in – this is the last chance to buy Aston’s old-school V12

THE FIRST HOUR

Data

M’s melon twister • Feisty for a four-wheel-drive compact crossover, but entirely average by M division’s lofty standards

Sorted for Whizzkids

Opinion • LONG-TERM READERS + SLOWLY DOES IT + TECH OVERLOAD

5 MOST READ STORIES ON • CARMAGAZINE.CO.UK

New Land Rover Defender

CAR UK

‘Driver-distracted crashes are caused by the very connectivity that car makers promote’

‘Get off that train and share a Land Rover with six friends – it’s better for the environment’

Porsche the future • In the past, Porsche was a sports car maker. In 2019 it sells more Cayennes than Caymans, stays grounded by making awesome 911s and debuts its ground-breaking battery-electric Taycan four-seater – we hit the road in all three

Roofless racer • How to keep the...
