Sport Cars

Aimed at amateur racers wishing to pit their talents against a few hardened pros, the 944 Turbo Cup series spawned motorsport machines almost identical to their roadgoing siblings. Suddenly, anyone could play race driver...

The Z4 M Coupé is a well-regarded modern classic, but why is there seemingly less love for the ever so slightly lesser-engined 3.0si?

The Ferrari 575M was a watershed modern-era Ferrari. But it was the Leonardo Fioravanti-developed Superamerica that really opened it up

Porsche needed a car to hold the fort after the demise of the 944 and before the launch of the Boxster, which makes the 3-litre four-cylinder 968 a relatively rare beast — but here are two of them.

The last Heron MJ1 — the world’s only fibreglass monocoque production car — was built after the factory closed its doors when the owner’s mum decided she needed a project.

Destined to become one of the fastest cars never to win Bathurst, Chrysler’s Charger was nevertheless New Zealand’s most successful standard production racing saloon, winning the annual Benson & Hedges 500 seven years in a row from 1972 – 1978.

Racer Reborn. Bizzarrini is back, with a British-built revival inspired by the car won its class at Le Mans in 1965.

Enzo Ferrari famously stated – in the early years of his firm’s road car career – that his cars would be solely 12-cylinder powered.

A big leap forward from its predecessor, the BMW Z4 aimed at Porsche and in coupe form is both affordable and practical right now.

Chevrolet’s first mid-engined Corvette C8 has landed in the UK, so we’ve put on a little welcoming committee from two of Europe’s biggest hitters: Audi’s R8 RWD Type 4S and Porsche’s Cayman GTS 982.

Even with diesel power, which is seemingly in the twilight of its life, the BMW 2 Series Coupé is a brilliant addition to the line-up.

The latest BMW to wear the hallowed CSL G82 badge has an awful lot to live up to, not least a price tag of £128k.

Singer has been responsible for some incredible reimagining’s of the Porsche 911. This is a most radical yet.

If, instead of Porsche’s impressive facility in Stuttgart, the 992 911 family was actually grown on vines and finished in oak barrels, the Carrera would be a fresh young riesling and the Carrera S would be a bold durif, while the Turbo siblings would sit on the top shelf in grappa bottles.

Martin Cliffe developed the engine for the Lotus Turbo Esprit, yet he’d never owned one until recently. Today we both drive it, then compare notes on how it shapes up retrospectively.
