A pinnacle of front-engined Ferrari engineering, the 812 melded mind-warping performance with a chassis that draws you into the action

The Ferrari F8 Spider was the last of its kind to wear that badge and use V8 power alone, with its 296 successor going V6 hybrid, with a GTS badge

The Audi S4 has had many heart transplants in its life, getting both a petrol and a diesel in only its last generation

A wonderful combination of near-hypercar pace and open air driving, the 812 GTS was a return to the genre for Ferrari

The last S4 Avant could be had first with a petrol V6, then after its facelift a punchy diesel V6. It's no BMW killer but is compelling all the same.

The B9 RS4 will be the last RS4 for now, as well as the last Audi of its type to utilise a combustion engine alone

Put aside your SUV cynicism. The Land Rover Defender Octa is credit to SVO, with 911 GT3 levels of engineering that's an unexpected thrill to drive

Stripped of the road car’s heavy and complex hybrid technology, Ferrari’s entry-level competition car provides a glimpse of an alternative universe

The M2 is a great car, but the slightly less manic BMW M235i and M240i are the better allrounders

The Ford Focus RS500 is the ultimate incarnation of a hyperhatch trailblazer, and now they're like gold dust
