Dear Omss,
| It’s been another busy week at evo.co.uk, with loads of fresh content for you to catch on the site. Harry Metcalfe has been in Italy driving the new Maserati GranCabrio Sport – it’s a hard life for some – which its fair to say he’s a fan of. We’ve also got behind the wheel of the all new Mercedes ML and had a spin in the forthcoming Vauxhall Astra GTC coupe. We’ve got videos of the next generation Porsche 911 testing in South Africa – you can read Richard Meaden’s story about it in the current issue of evo – plus virals of the Shelby Tuatara, Nissan Leaf RC1 racer and the unveiling of the BMW M3 DTM. And don’t forget our stunning video of the Lamborghini Gallardo Performante taking on an aerobatic stunt plane at the Bedford Autodrome – plus our exclusive first ride in the stunning Pagani Huayra. Film wrapping cars is nothing new, but now we’re being told that chrome is the ‘new black’ – see what you think. We’ve also got a new technical story on the Skoda Octavia vRS that we’ll be taking to the Bonneville speed week next month. You can buy your copy of the current issue of evo here. The theme is ‘ultimate battles’, including the new Megane Trophy v the Nuburgring, Subaru v the Isle of Man TT, Porsche Panamera v Vauxhall VXR8 v BMW M5 and Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 v Maserati MC Stradale. Our new and improved showroom section also includes a Lancia Delta Integrale buying guide. And don’t forget to book your place on one of evo’s 2011 track events. We’ve some great competitions on evo.co.uk at the moment, too – you can even win a replica of a BTCC Volkswagen Golf GTI touring car! We've also loads of free downloads here, including a McLaren F1 digital magazine. And if you've got any views on any of our stories, or the new issue of evo, contact us via our Facebook page or the evo Twitter account.
