http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/57...onths_evo.html
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/picture..._pic_20006.jpg his month's magazine features our Road & Track Car 2005 supplement - thirteen contenders put through their paces, from the 65bhp Westfield XI to the 425 bhp Noble M400. Don't miss it. 014 Planet Evo Porsche reveals official shots of its new Cayman and details of 4wd 997s, Renault bids a fond farewell to the Clio 182 with a special Trophy version, and Bristol announces the Fighter S. Plus news of the sensational Wiesmann coupe 042 Driven Ferrari Superamerica, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX, Autodelta Alfa GT Super, Audi TT Sport, Vauxhall Monaro V8, Ford Mustang GT Convertible, Mitsubishi Colt Coupe-Cabrio 061 Letters Porter's rant about Ferrari prostituting its brand hits a chord with a US reader, while another writes from South Africa with news that the original Golf GTI lives, a third moans about ugly Bristols and yet another says our 'Ring complaint is just sour grapes 068 Audi gets serious Audi is hell-bent on shaking up the sports car establishment, and that means tackling the BMW M3 and Porsche 911 head-on. Its weapons for the job are the new RS4 with its astonishingly rev-hungry, 414bhp V8 and re-configured quattro drivetrain, and the stunning mid-engined R9. We drive the rampant RS4 to the limit (and beyond) and grill the boss of quattro GmbH about Audi's most ambitious sports car to date, the 911-rivalling, four-wheel-drive R9 082 Road and Track Car of the Year 2005 Thirteen contenders - from the 65bhp Westfield XI to the 425bhp Noble M400 - vie for overall honours in our inaugural test to find the sports car that best combines on-road ability and trackday thrills. Over four days on the roads of north Wales and around the twists of Anglesey circuit, pure road cars battle it out with more track-biased contenders... but there can be only one winner 116 Gumpert Apollo Yes, it's an odd name but don't let that colour your view of this new German supercar built by Audi luminaries and powered by a tuned, 640bhp Audi-RS6 engine. It's McLaren F1 quick, ready to race with a set of slicks and costs less than £200K 126 Pagani Zonda F Richard Meaden stays up all night to join the men from Pagani as they put the new 602bhp Zonda F through its paces on real roads around Modena. No high-speed stuff at all, no siree, not in the dark on Italian roads with a young Italian test driver 134 BMW M3 Buying Guide M3s are becoming commonplace but there's a very good reason for that - they're great to drive and wonderfully practical, too. Early cars are now approaching bargain status, so if you fancy a 338bhp, rear-drive Beemer with attitude, or the even more potent CSL, you'd better take a look here 142 Long Term Tests The MG SV-R will be off soon but the arrival of our imported Mustang GT and a 6-litre VXR Monaro means that the V8 count is well up this month. Meanwhile Ed Tomalin has driven his V8, the S-type R, to meet its inspiration, the Mk2 Jag, and Harry has dug deep to re-shoe his prancing horse 161 The Knowledge Eighty-one times someone's pondered what to write here. I can't be fagged, so here's a quiz instead: which car's name features all five vowels once? 194 Best Day of My Life Serial kit-car and sports car builder Lee Noble recalls the day he won his first motor race and the pivotal role it played in his life I think the R9 article will be great and buying guide for M3. Well evo is always a good mag. Remember also that the driven articles will shortly arrive after message of new evo to the site. One or two days after this. |
Got my copy a few days ago, but not read it yet. Not even read last months issue yet! :cry: That's exams for you.
Flicked through it though, and the most stand-out article was the Zonda F one. :twisted: HOwever..... should this topic not go in the Books/Magazines/Comics section :? |
New sportmodel from Audi... R9? Never heard of before... God, have to buy it.. :D :D
murcielago - five vowels? |
Imho this is not a Scan, so i think this is general car talk, more like a preview. Should be some interesting articles and footage, i bet the zonda driver is a nutter. I also wonder what means the remark of RS4( We drive the rampant RS4 to the limit (and beyond)), did they total it. .
|
Not a scan, but still a mag :arrow: moved ;)
|
Oh here it went, never actually go thru this menu to magazine scans. Well now i know where to post it next time ;)
|
i have to read everything i can about that R9...it looks like it'll be awesome...and i LOVED the Le Mans concept car's looks :D
|
Do you have any info about this R9?
I have never heard about it before, but I loved the look of the Le Mans concept car |
well from what i found after a search, it'll have audi's Quattro system, and probably a modified Gallardo V10 engine...but thats not certain yet i believe...
if it looks anything like hte Le Mans concept its gonna be gorgeous :drool: |
So it should keep the V10 they used in the prototype (or slightly modified only) ? GREAT
