Inside issue 285 of evo

As the summer months approach and the UK begins to open back up, we’re here to help clear the cobwebs from your driving shoes with the latest issue of evo magazine. Headlining this month is one of the 2021’s most exciting new performance models, from Alfa Romeo no less, and it’s joined by an array of other special features, including our first drive of the all-new Porsche 911 GT3.

For this month’s cover story we headed to some of the UK’s best roads – and one of its greatest circuits – in the new Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA, here in its even more aggressively stripped back GTAm form. With time on the roads of north Wales and a stint on track at the brilliant Anglesey Circuit, Richard Meaden offers his definitive verdict on the most exciting new Alfa Romeo in a generation.

This is also the issue in which we become acquainted with one of the year’s most exciting new sports cars, the new 992-generation Porsche 911 GT3. Henry Catchpole gets to grips with it at our home circuit of Bedford Autodrome and on our favourite challenging roads nearby.

Elsewhere in the new issue, Richard Meaden drives the new R-Reforged V12 Vantage Zagato, a continuation of the superb V12 Zagato initially built in cooperation between Aston Martin and Italian design house Zagato in 2013. But rather than being a like-for-like rebuild, this new model is based on the more potent ‘S’ version of the V12 Vantage and has picked up numerous other improvements along the way. Could it be an even more astounding supercar than the original?

Also in this issue, Adam Towler takes a deep dive into Prodrive’s 550 Maranello, the most successful GT racer of its type during the early noughties and the last V12 Ferrari to score a class win at Le Mans. John Barker also brings together two of the most potent supersaloons on sale right now to answer the unending question: AMG or BMW M? Plus David Vivian says sayonara to the GT86, the small Japanese sports coupe that re-established the importance of back-to-basics handling in a small, affordable package. 

Meanwhile our ‘Life Through a Lens’ series continues with a look at the work of maverick car photographer James Lipman, we try out a pair of extreme new Bentleys that push the brand further from its GT zone than ever before, plus there’s all the latest news, first drives, our resident columnists and a catch-up with our long-term fleet. Check out all this and more now in the latest issue, on sale now!
