Autocar magazine 29 July preview

New Lotus Evora 400 driven; Koenigsegg One:1 tested; Mercedes-AMG GT S road test; Ferrari 488 Spider revealed

This week's Autocar, dated 29 July, features our first drive in the storming new Lotus Evora 400.

Estimated to cost £73,000 when it goes on sale in August, the Evora 400 offers more power, less weight and a shaper chassis than the standard car. Matt Prior straps in to deliver the first verdict on what is the most important new Lotus in recent years.

Also driven in this issue:

Koenigsegg One:1 - Koenigsegg's latest hypercar is claimed to be the fastest production car in the world.

Skoda Superb - We try the entry-level diesel variant of Skoda's new flagship estate

Honda Jazz - Can a fresh chassis and new engine help Honda's supermini to remain competitive?

The news section this week is led by the new Ferrari 488 Spider - the open-top variant of the 488 GTB. Due to go on sale in the spring of next year for around £200,000, the 488 Spider is Ferrari's most powerful mid-engined drop-top yet. We've got the full details and pictures.

Elsewhere, we've got the full scoop on Audi's new RS4 - which will get a turbocharged V6 engine with as much as 500bhp. A saloon variant will also be rejoining the range. We've also got spy shots of Audi's new A4 Allroad and the all-new Q5.

Alpine's upcoming sports car has been spotted testing, too, with our latest pictures revealing the car's interior for the first time.

Our eight-page road test this week features the 503bhp Mercedes-AMG GT S. Is this new Mercedes-AMG sports car a worthy successor to the mighty SLS? Our road testers deliver the definitive verdict.

The long-term test fleet sees some changes this week as we swap our Audi TT coupé for a roadster, while our A6 Avant faces a damage repair bill. James Ruppert tells us how to bag a US-built family car bargain, and our used car buying guide is offering automotive style on a budget, from just £2000.
