Is this an EV we can finally get excited about? With over 2000hp on tap and an impressive chassis, it'd be hard not to! This car has built up some notoriety for being a bit of a handful, so let's see what the Lotus Evija is like when driven flat-out at Silverstone. Enjoy...

Forget the Aston Martins and BMWs, I think there was a much better Bond Car that many have overlooked...
In this video, I reminisce with the beautiful Renault 11 TXE from 'A View to a Kill' – a car that was etched into my memory during adolescence, largely thanks to the crazy stunts it performed and the fact it was cut in half and carried on driving. Does it get any cooler?
After doing a few J-turns myself in this example, I get the angle grinder out to perform the ultimate sacrifice...

I was invited along to Pirelli's P Zero Experience – the mother of all track days at Silverstone – where I was lucky enough to pilot one of these weapons around the circuit, complete with its sticky P Zero Trofeo RS rubber.
Is this the peak of road-legal sports cars? We're about to find out together...

Huge thanks to @Pirelli for inviting me along to their P Zero Experience event at Silverstone Circuit. The 992 GT3 RS MR relies on the firm's insanely capable P Zero Trofeo RS tyre – redefining the capabilities of a road-legal performance tyre. Find out more at pirelli.com

To find out for myself, I'm back at Dunsfold with this bright orange beauty to get my first impressions, as well as a drag race and power lap with this aero-clad beast. Let's see if it drives as good as it looks!

Believe it or not, I've never actually driven the infamous 20km Nordschleife before, so decided to choose wisely with both car and instructor when giving it my inaugural lap.
The car? RacingLine Performance's 520bhp Mk8 VW Golf R – a potent-but-planted 4WD hot hatch that promised to help keep me on the smooth stuff wherever possible. The instructor? Well, it had to be @mgcharoudin really, didn't it?!
Enjoy my terrifying first experiences on the 'Green Hell'. I hope you have your sick bag ready...

I decided to share this special moment with 'King of the 'Ring' himself, @mgcharoudin, who joined me in the passenger seat of this focused, twin-turbocharged weapon.
Did I scare Misha to death or bore him to sleep? All is revealed as we lap the incredible GP circuit at this unbeatable motorsports venue...

The latest (G87) M2 is potentially the last of a dying breed. The last M-car to only rely on a combustion engine alone, and the last with the option of the fabled manual gearbox. So is this a car to be celebrated? Or does it not quite hit the mark?
To make this test as, er, 'scientific' as possible, we've also recruited the help of MMX Performance's heavily modified example, that shows just what can be done with this platform if you give it a little tinkering...
