Dear Omss,
With the sun back out and the UK's summer temporarily back on, the top review on evo.co.uk is our drive in the new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS cabrio. The Carrera GTS is our favourite non-motorsport 911, and it's become our favourite 911 drop-top too. Read the review and see pictures here.
One of our most popular news stories is the unfortunate news that Rowan Atkinson has crashed his McLaren F1. Our thoughts are with him, but we've no doubt he'll get the car back on the road. We borrowed the car last year and our McLaren F1 road test is here. See how his F1 compares to the new McLaren MP4-12C, and witness the MP4-12C battle Ferrari 458 Italia, Noble M600 and Porsche 911 Turbo S on video here.
Elsewhere in the news, there's a bold new Brabus Mercedes SLK, the Sultan of Brunei's supercar collection is for sale - picture gallery of the rarities here - and Ayrton Senna's McLaren F1 car has been turned into stunning artwork, which is up for auction. Bristol Cars is also making a spectacular electric comeback. In our blogs section, we're talking about the world's worst road, some obscure car museums, the return of evo's Nissan GT-R long termer, 'Godzilla', and Roger Green is risking life and limb racing a scary 700bhp Formula 1 stock car. 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. And don’t forget you can win a Lotus Evora S for a year with evo.
