evo issue 349 – what’s inside

In evo issue 349, our Supercar Eras series continues as we enter the 1990s, with judge (and evo deputy editor) James Taylor presiding. This time, we’ve gathered a stunning group with the Aston Martin Vantage V550, Lamborghini Diablo SV, Ferrari 550 Maranello, Honda NSX, TVR Cerbera and Porsche 993 Turbo S. As the genre of supercar graduates beyond the wedge shape that started it all and the hypercar genre arrives with the McLaren F1 (as discussed in detail in a supplementary feature) the 1990s saw the limits of what’s possible, and the definition of the supercar, pushed still further.

The 2020s supercar world would be unrecognisable to someone from the 1990s, with even China joining the action, albeit with a silent electric-powered exotic in the form of the 1000bhp Denza Z, driven at Goodwood in this issue. We also get behind the wheel of more traditional exotic names – Porsche’s new 911 GT3 S/C, which brings an open-top to the extreme GT3 genre, as well as Ferrari’s 849 Testarossa Spider, a 1000bhp mid-engined machine you could walk into a Ferrari dealer and order tomorrow.

Lotus features prominently in this issue, with its new Emira 420 Sport tested on road and track. The most extreme, focussed road-going Emira variant yet is claimed to be the car Porsche Cayman GT4 owners should trade up to. We also get behind the wheel of a new Analogue Automotive Lotus Elise restomod with a twist, that quite literally puts the driver at the centre of the occasion, with a McLaren F1-style central seat.

We also meet the man that shaped Nissan’s Skyline GT-R, Dirk Schoysman, the team behind the new Red Bull RB17 track hypercar, get the lowdown on Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre, the next Alpine A110, the new McLaren 788 HS supercar and the next Mercedes-AMG CLA 45. We also sit down with Ferrari’s CEO, Benedetto Vigna, to discuss everything from the Luce to synthesised manual transmissions.
