Meet the Pikes Peak plasterer • Pikes Peak might be the world’s most extreme hillclimb, but that doesn’t stop heroes like Duncan coming and having a go

Booty and a beast • The BMW M5 Touring is back with a £112k price, 717bhp, a huge boot… and a massive kerbweight

coffee break • What we’re watching/listening/doing, while we should be working

COMMENTS NILU

Hard facts • Like frills and fripperies? Or would you rather have fit for purpose brutalistic simplicities?

EPIC FAIL • FORD ESCORT [MkV]

THRILLS WITHOUT THE BILLS • Fast(ish) cars you can actually afford

The 1930s pickup that’s a 1,000bhp hot rod • This terrifying beast takes the latest motorsport tech right back to the roots of hot rod culture

MYTH BUSTER • “THE GMA T.50 IS A ‘SUCKER CAR’”

THE VAPOURWARE FILES • THIS MONTH: TRANSTAR DAGGER GT

MIKE’S CHANNE

BOV • The Audi R8 didn’t get the credit it deserved, says Jethro

INKS • A teammate is often anything but in F1, says Natalie

ENJOY 3 ISSUES FOR £5 PLUS SUPERCARS • Try a subscription to BBC TopGear magazine. Pay £5 for your first 3 issues then £23.50 every 6 issues and receive our Supercars special*

GONE IN 1.38 SECONDS • The Spéirling isn’t just a car, it’s a technology revolution. Strap in, it’s going to be a hell of a ride

OCKET CIENCE • MORE McMURTRY PUB AMMO

HOW FAST IS FAST?

A RECKLESS DEVELOPMENT? • Farewell, V10, this is the new Lamborghini Temerario, a 907bhp V8 hybrid. A worthy Huracán successor, or a misstep from the Italian firm?

HOT PURSUIT • Dacia got a foothold in the UK with cheapness, now it wants toughness on its CV. Can the new Duster handle Morocco’s heat and locate a Dakar team in the desert – no GPS allowed?

OUR LONG AND WINDING ROAD LENGTH: 598km

STREAM WORKS • This is an MG. Yes, really. Turns out it’s got form in streamliners too… just ask Stirling Moss

WET AND WILD • No doors, no roof, no boot, but at least there’s a windscreen… Paul Horrell pulls on his waterproof trousers and takes the Nomad 2 for a spin

XTREME MACHINE • Maserati’s racing history is a patchwork of epic highs and long absences, so can the MCXtrema – a track only version of its latest supercar – bring back the glory days?

One for the road? • The new GT2 Stradale brings the MCXtrema’s fury to the public tarmac

ENJOY 3 ISSUES FOR £5 PLUS SUPERCARS • Try a subscription to BBC TopGear magazine. Pay £5 for your first 3 issues then £23.50 every 6 issues and receive TG Supercars special*

TWIN PEAKS • Have we reached restomod perfection? We visit a company taking the Lambo Diablo and Porsche 928 to new heights…

Car ads that time forgot • CITROEN 2CV, 1986

That time we… • LAPPED MOROCCO IN A NEW V8 ASTON

F1 ’97 • PLAYSTATION, 1997

DO/DON’T MEET YOUR HEROES

HATCH vs CROSSOVER • “Just buy a Golf” used to be the default car advice, but the MkVIII made some huge design fumbles. So is a trad hatch or a newly updated UK-built crossover the better bet?

WHAT ABOUT THESE?

ITS ALL IN THE DETAILS

THE OVERRUN • Small but perfectly formed reviews. The best of this month’s drives

GARAGE

RANGE ROVER SPORT

TESLA MODEL 3

MINI COOPER S

INEOS GRENADIER NUGGETS
