Watch – Megane 275 vs Civic R on track

Honda makes some bold claims of the Civic Type R’s on-track performance, but how does the model fare on track against one of evo’s favourite hot hatchbacks?

This is the latest video in our Deadly Rivals series, and it’s clear that Honda will need to bring its A-game (should that be R-game?) to beat the Renaultsport Megane 275 Trophy.

It’s simpler than the McLaren 650S and actually slightly larger too – but does McLaren’s latest sports car (it’s a supercar, really) deliver on the road?

Road test editor Dan Prosser finds out by putting a bright green example to the test on road and track. Is it the best McLaren yet?

BMW i8 and Apple watch – connectivity review

i8

It’s one of the most technologically advanced products on the market and a real hit in Silicon Valley. Not the Apple Watch, but BMW’s i8 plug-in hybrid sports car.

Actually, the watch isn’t short on technology either, and the i8’s smartphone app allows a degree of Apple Watch control. This is what you can expect from the high-tech pairing.
