Tune in for plenty of off-the-cuff insights and candid commentary from some of the most respected voices in the industry on all the hot-button issues that affect car enthusiasts. 

From exactly what the latest and greatest performance cars – from hypercars, supercars and restomods to supersaloons and hot hatches – are like to drive, to electrification, electric vehicle proliferation and how and whether they can be fun. You’ll also get the occasional look behind the curtain at how evo magazine is put together each month and behind-the-scenes anecdotes from across its illustrious 25-year history.

Episode 30: Driving the first and latest Porsche 911 GT3s

In episode 30 of the evo podcast, deputy editor James Taylor joins editor-at-large John Barker and senior staff writer Yousuf Ashraf for a catch-up on what the team have been driving. 

This week, we catch up on evo’s Fast Fleet, with an update on John Barker’s perennial project, the V8 Capri, as well as James Taylor’s Mazda MX-5 RF. Then James talks us through his experience of uniting the very latest 911 GT3 with the original from 1999. Over 25 years and four generations sit between them so comparing them, both what commonalities they share and what’s changed the most over the years, has proven a fascinating exercise.

Yousuf also talks us through his experience getting behind the wheel of Eagle’s latest E-type restomod. What was a lifetime ago a beautiful GT car has been overhauled into a thrilling analogue sports car, not to mention a jewel-like object to operate and behold.
