Unnecessary gadgets have been subject to evo's scrutiny this week - columnist Colin Goodwin tells us in his latest entry which modern gadgets he'd be rid of given the choice.
Elsewhere, it's all about the noise - from driving an endurance-winning Mazda on track, to experiencing Ferrari's FXX K from the passenger seat. For a more relaxed take on Ferrari motoring, there's always the option of buying a historic concept car - read about this and more below.

You might not have heard of the 1981 Spa 24 Hour-winning Mazda RX-7 before, but you’d certainly be able to hear it coming.
Watch Dickie Meaden as he gets to grips with the 80s endurance racer – and its surprisingly physical driving experience.
Ferrari Pinin for sale
Ferrari hasn’t made many four-door cars in its history – aside from a few limited-run creations for the Sultan of Brunei – but there have been fewer still opportunities to buy one.
If you’ve got half a million pounds going spare, the Ferrari Pinin concept could be just the car to change that.

The latest and greatest McLaren Super Series car, the 675LT brings back a name from McLaren’s history – Long Tail.
It doesn’t quite have the extended proportions of the McLaren F1 carrying the moniker, but that certainly doesn’t hamper its performance.
