Audi’s breathtaking 560-horsepower RS7 delivers true Supercar
performance coupled with daily-driving versatility, writes
Road Test Editor Howard Walker
Remember the Seventies? Back then; if you were a testosterone-charged teen, chances are your bedroom would have had a poster of a Lamborghini Countach pinned to the wall. Race-me red paint, scissor-style doors raised skywards, more air-gulping intakes than an F-16 fighter. No doubt it would have been positioned right next to a p...

Dan Scanlan checks out Lambo’s 700-horsepower raging bull…and he wants one!
It was this simple. I was pointed to a Rosso Lamborghini Aventador LP 700 and asked,
“Would you like a drive?”
The coastal Florida roads outside the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance were thick with traffic, and worse, Highway Patrol and local deputies. They were hungry, looking for fools dumb enough to nail a 700-horsepower Lamborghini on their home turf after a day of snacking on new Porsches, AMG Mercedes-B...

2015 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE S: EXTREME MACHINE!
With its awesome new V12 Vantage S, Aston Martin squeezes its biggest engine into its smallest car. The results are breathtaking, writes Road Test Editor, Howard Walker.
The Supercar world is changing. Fast. The ultimate, neck-snapping performance cars of tomorrow will have engines boasting a multitude of joules and watts, ohms and volts.
