| ‘Mac’ Version 2.0 - The Replacement For The Mclaren 12c (Part 2) |
| The 650S feels even more capable than the 12C on the road. It rides better, is slicker up and down the gears, and thanks to that extra wallop of torque, outruns slower traffic with even greater ease than before. But take the car out on the racetrack (Spain’s Ascari circuit in this case) and it rapidly – really rapidly – sheds its British gentleman persona and transforms into a British bulldog on the scent for sausages. |

| The setting was a tyre launch event at the Zandvoort circuit near Amsterdam, and I was driving the A-Class in a painfully slow convoy around the track. We barely nudged the 100-kph mark (thanks to the pace car leading us), and were expected to give feedback on tyre noise, grip levels and the heights of boredom achieved during the drive. |

| Nissan Pulsar – On Sale October |
| The Nissan Pulsar is a new family car that will fight for sales with the Ford Focus, Kia Ceed and Vauxhall Astra. Nissan claims it will beat its rivals because it has superior rear space, more striking styling and class-leading technology that is fitted as standard – ingredients that it believes are also behind the smash-hit sales success of our reigning Car of the Year, the Nissan Qashqai. |

| Mercedes AMG-GT S : Thrills and spills with AMG-GT |

| Renault Megane GT-Line's : Dare to be different |
| It is different from run-of-the-mill cars on three fronts: It has a turbodiesel power plant while the Singapore car market is primarily a petrol one; it is a hatchback when saloons and SUVs rule local roads; and it is a Renault. |

| 2015 Piaggio MP3 500 : Tricycles for adults |

| S. Korea faces car trade deficit with Europe |

| Improving Perfection How Do You Make The Best, Better? (Part 1) |
| Relatively speaking, it’s pretty easy to modify a car and even adding a shed load of extra power isn’t too hard most of the time either. But modifying a car in such a way that it complements and highlights its original features and finer points rather than eclipse them is a far more difficult affair. |

| Letters To Road & Track (Part 2) |
| Cammisa’s comment regarding the lack of relevance of the S2000 to Honda’s place in automotive history needs to be debated. The S2K’s enthusiast-focused capabilities, coupled with its legendary reliability and price point, clearly place it near the top of Honda’s pyramid. |
|
| Letters To Road & Track (Part 1) |
| I have the utmost respect for Alfa Romeo and its heritage. I’m trying to like the new 4C, I really am. But that thing is butt-ugly! And based on your driving experience in the June issue, it’s not fully baked. |
