Dear Omss,
There's a bit of an Audi R8 special on evo.co.uk this week. We've a report from when we raced the R8 LMS at the Nurburgring 24 hours, complete with a dramatic photo gallery. There's also a video from Britain's new Blyton Park circuit as the R8 LMS tackles the new R8 GT supercar on track.
We've driven three new sports saloons this week, too. There's an exclusive review of the stunning Fisker Karma on European roads, a drive of the diesel version of Porsche's Panamera and a go in Rolls-Royce's sportiest car, the Ghost, in lengthened limo form.
If you saw Top Gear this week, you'll have seen the new Lamborghini Aventador in action. You can see our video review of the Aventador - which is our new favourite supercar - here.
Don't forget to check out the latest evo team blogs within our community section. Chris Harris is bigging up the Mercedes C63 AMG's seats, Stephen Dobie's been visiting some great car museums and Henry Catchpole has been getting frustrated by the world's number one car TV show.
