Reviews this week of the chassis-fettled Ferrari 599 HGTE, Renaultsport's hot new Clio 200 Cup and our group test evaluates Lotus's Evora against Porsche's Cayman S and the Farbio GTS350.

In the news, Novitec Rosso boosts the power of the F430 Scuderia Spider by 186bhp, Aston Martin lowers its sights from its traditional low-volume high-buck products and announces details of its Cygnet project and this weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed attractions and guest-lists have been firmed up.
