Dear Omss,

Ferrari or Porsche, which is your favourite? We’ve celebrated both this week in five epic battles. We've picked our winners from Ferrari 458 Italia v Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Ferrari Enzo v Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari 348 GTC v Porsche 964 RS, Ferrari 288 GTO v Porsche 959 and the pair's very latest hypercars, with Ferrari 599 GTO v Porsche 911 GT2 RS taking place at the Nurburgring. Our top news story is the all-new BMW M5, which has been officially revealed ahead of its 2011 Shanghai motor show unveil. With more than 560bhp expected from its 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, it should be a cracker. See lots of photographs here and read Chris Harris’s review of the new BMW M5 here. We've also reviewed the Range Rover Evoque, the long-awaited production version of the Land Rover LRX. John Barker analyses what it's like to drive. And if you want to buy one, we've a full guide to its price and spec list, too. Still hugely popular is our Ferrari Enzo v hot hatchbacks video. Last week it achieved the best first-week-views figure of any evo.co.uk video, and if you’ve not seen it yet, you need to watch it here. evo Issue 156 is now in shops and with subscribers, and it's a cracker. There's that full 18-page Enzo v hyper hatch shootout alongside a ton of car reviews. Buy your copy of evo as a traditional magazine, digitally on Zinio or as an interactive iPad app here. And don’t forget to book your place on one of evo’s upcoming track events or grab some evo merchandise from our online shop. Nick Trott Editor evo
