Nissan GT-R vs Ferrari 458 Speciale vs McLaren 650S – Drag Race | Autocar

Posted by

Three great supercars, and one quarter-mile drag strip. Who will win?

We pitch a McLaren 650S against a Ferrari 458 Speciale in a quarter-mile drag race, along with a hard-accelerating, four-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R to keep them both honest.

It’s Britain versus Italy versus Japan. Two turbocharged cars against a naturally aspirated one. Rear-drive versus four-wheel-drive.

2016 BMW M2 review – is BMW back on form? | Autocar

Posted by

Is the new BMW M2 the driver’s car we hoped it would be? We find out in this review.

With a 3.0-litre turbocharged engine, 365bhp and rear-wheel drive, this compact sports car has all the makings of a BMW great, but it would have to be good to beat the likes of Audi’s RS3, the Mercedes-AMG A45 and even Porsche’s Boxster.
