BMW I8

Image
  I 8 (I8) An entirely new concept of sports car. More efficient – for example due to intelligent lightweight construction with carbon and aerodynamic design. More sustainable – with highly efficient BMW eDrive technology and recyclable materials in the interior. Without forfeiting dynamics and its sporting appearance. No compromises, but instead the optimum combination of driving pleasure and responsibility. The BMW i8 is a plug-in-hybrid that brings together the advantages of innovate electric motor and combustion engine technologies. The result is an extraordinary driving experience – with extremely low consumption and low emissions. (I8) The BMW i8 is ready to revolutionise its vehicle class. As the first sports car with the consumption and emission values of a compact car. The strength of the plug-in hybrid lies, among other factors, in the perfect synchronisation of electric motor and combustion engine, which makes itself apparent in maximum efficiency and dynamics on the roa...

TOYOTA GT 86

Image
  GT 86 (GT 86) The 2020 Toyota 86 provides exciting rear-drive performance for a price that most enthusiasts can afford. While other value-minded alternatives exist, they don't offer the same combination of athleticism and practicality that the Toyota does. Its excellent driving position and generous cargo space are offset by middling material quality and a small back seat. Still, the lightweight coupe is a precision instrument that boasts a balanced chassis with communicative steering. Its four-cylinder engine isn't particularly potent or refined, but the 2020 86 shines when tracing corners rather than drag racing. (GT 86) For 2020, Toyota serves up new standard features and shuffles the 86 lineup. Every model now has an enhanced infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The 86 also adds a dark-gray paint color called Pavement, and there's a new top-of-the-line trim: the Hakone Edition, which gets exclusive green paint, unique 17-inch wheels, and...

NISSAN SKYLINE GTR R35

Image
  R 35 (R 35) The fastest car down an unknown road. Which sounds like the title of a concept album, but is nevertheless true. The R35 Nissan GT-R is Nissan’s finest hour, and almost makes up for the Micra. A four-seater two-door with a decent boot and four-wheel drive that’s mightily rear-biased. Bolt that to a suite of electronic cleverness that’ll boggle whatever’s left of your mind, and you’ve got a legend that reliably minces cars twice the price. (R 35) The engine is a 3.8-litre V6 (VR38DETT, if you want to get technical), punting out 550bhp and 466lb ft of torque. It’ll do over 193mph, but more than that, use the ‘R-Start’ launch control, and you can get 0–62mph acceleration times below three seconds, run after run. That’s not a car, that’s a missile. But it’s not enough for Nissan: it’s to get Nismo branding and become even faster. Like, wow. (R 35) For 2020, Nissan updates its most expensive model but falls short of the comprehensive redesign the GT-R needs. The previously ...
