evo Magazine

8 July 2025

Was the noughties the best decade for driver’s cars? We bring together seven machines that defined the era – R53 Mini Cooper S, Mk5 Volkswagen Golf GTI, E46 BMW M3, Audi R8 V8, Porsche 997 Carrera, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Lamborghini Murciélago – to find out what made them so special. Also in the August 2025 issue of evo magazine: we drive Porsche’s new one-off road-legal Le Mans racer, the 963 RSP; three key figures behind the original Lotus Elise are reunited to discuss the creation of the seminal sports car; Praga’s incredible Bohema hypercar gets put to the test; and we have a sports car shoot-out between Lotus Emira V6, Alpine A110, BMW M2, Ford Mustang GT and Porsche Boxster GTS 4.0
