Dear Omss,
Fasten your seatbelts for our fast Jag special! The XKR-S is the firm's first road car capable of 200mph since the legendary XJ220, and we've taken it to the limit on UK roads. Plus, we've driven refreshed versions of the BMW M5-rivalling XFR and the XKR convertible. The pace shows no sign of slowing down in group tests as we pit the new Aston martin Virage against the mighty Mercedes SLS AMG. Who will win the clash of the super coupes? Also fighting it out is the facelifted Peugeot 308 against its arch rivals from Ford, VW and Renault. In news, Hyundai has named its price for the curvaceous i40 Touring - find out how it stacks up against the competition. Aston Martin has revealed a race-ready version of its jaw-dropping V12 Zagato, and Audi has turned its A1 supermini into a 496bhp supercar - find out how here. Believe it or not, Aston Martin has made a city car, and we've driven the opinion-dividing Cygnet, while the Chevrolet Volt and Volvo V60 plug-in also go under the microscope in drives. On video we've tested the BMW M3 Coupe's worst nightmare - the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe - on track and bring you an eye-popping CGI preview to the Le Mans 24 Hours.
