A wonderful combination of near-hypercar pace and open air driving, the 812 GTS was a return to the genre for Ferrari

The last S4 Avant could be had first with a petrol V6, then after its facelift a punchy diesel V6. It's no BMW killer but is compelling all the same.

Porsche bids farewell to the combustion-powered Boxster with the hardcore 718 Spyder RS, and it does not disappoint

There's clear sporting DNA in the latest Cayenne, evident in the base car and right up to the 729bhp Turbo E-Hybrid. Is it good enough to tempt you ou…

BMW has added involvement and driver appeal to the Z4 with the Handschalter, but it’s still a better GT than it is a sports car

A rewarding and thrilling GT for the price of a used hot hatch

The Abarth 600e packs 276bhp and a fiery character, making it both the marque’s most powerful road-legal model and a genuinely entertaining driver’s c…

The 718 Boxster S is undoubtedly quick and brilliant to drive, but the turbocharged four-cylinder lacks the character we've come to expect

The B9 RS4 will be the last RS4 for now, as well as the last Audi of its type to utilise a combustion engine alone

Put aside your SUV cynicism. The Land Rover Defender Octa is credit to SVO, with 911 GT3 levels of engineering that's an unexpected thrill to drive

Stripped of the road car’s heavy and complex hybrid technology, Ferrari’s entry-level competition car provides a glimpse of an alternative universe

The M2 is a great car, but the slightly less manic BMW M235i and M240i are the better allrounders

The Ford Focus RS500 is the ultimate incarnation of a hyperhatch trailblazer, and now they're like gold dust

Ferrari’s first turbocharged supercar of the modern era was a monumental achievement and now, a bit of a bargain (relatively speaking)

Only Pagani’s third model-line in more than 25 years, the Utopia builds on everything that made the Zonda and Huayra great, then adds its own unique c…

Kalmar has created a 996-based safari car for £60k – it’s a 911 Dakar for a third of the price

A hugely enjoyable and rewarding M car to drive, the F87 BMW M2 CS is an eCoty champion and a sure-fire future classic

The eighth VW Golf GTI is fast, capable and easy to live with, now with improved if not perfected HMI and driving dynamics

The 991-generation GT3 brought massive changes for the GT3 bloodline as a whole, for better and worse

A four-wheel drive, hybrid, open-top 911 sounds like a purists nightmare, but the 992.2 Targa 4 GTS is undeniably impressive

Audi’s new electric S6 has lots going for it, but its lack of range and high price will be its undoing.

Still not the driver’s car of the class, but the A4 was strong in all other areas

Stunning drop-top version of the 488 GTB provided open-air thrills with negligible compromises

Broadly competent, the second-generation SQ5 is a polished but ultimately perplexing proposition

The desert launch of the 911 Dakar suggested a car for adventures. Cue a 1200-mile road trip on (and off) some of Europe’s best roads...

Not as ballistic as the M2 CS but the M2 Competition is still brilliant and now remarkably affordable

Stylish, content heavy and good enough to drive, the 308 delivers on its remit, but it’s a thrill-free zone

The Stelvio offers a unique dynamic flavour and plenty of style, but updates haven’t addressed its second-rate cabin
