This Month's evo: August 2006 evo (issue 94)

Two variants of Stuttgart's finest - the 911 Turbo and a Carrera GT - face off against working class hero, the Mitsi Evo IX, in our cover story group test. The Turbo then takes on a Gallardo, and we road test an 800hp Koenigsegg - in the rain!

Le Mans or bust!

Koenigsegg road test

806bhp, no traction control, and a reputation for flinging professional racing drivers off the black stuff. Now the big bad Swedish supercar is put up against the big bad John Barker road test. One of them smokes, the other one spits flames.
