Dear Omss,
We’ve previewed the potential future of the performance car this week with our first review of the new Honda CR-Z Mugen. What’s the world’s first hybrid hot hatchback like to drive? There’s also an action video of the Mugen CR-Z here.
This week has also seen official pictures, prices and details of both the new Mini Coupe and BMW M5 sports saloon revealed, while the Renaultsport Megane Trophy 265 has taken the front-wheel-drive Nurburgring lap record and evo’s Mauro Calo has broken a drifting record in a Mercedes C63 AMG.
There are lots of new videos to watch on evo.co.uk, including footage of the Mazda 787B and Corvette racing car at Le Mans and evo’s Harry Metcalfe taking part in this year’s Mille Miglia with his Ferrari 550 Barchetta. We’ve also got video reviews of the BMW 1-series M Coupe, Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 and Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe and G-Wagen.
