This month we got our hands on the very first Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two to land in India and we headed down south, to set lap times at three race tracks. Immediately after we headed to the private, members-only, Magarigawa Club track in Japan to test the über-luxurious Rolls-Royce Black Badge range. And not content, we then headed to Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium to test the 888bhp Pagani Huayra R Evo Roadster.
Also in this issue are our drives of the VinFast VF7 and VF6 pre-production prototypes. First look at the Mercedes Concept AMG GT XX. Throwback to the iconic Honda NSX. 3000km road trip to the race track with the BMW R 1300 GS. Review of the F1 movie. Performance test of the Volkswagen Golf GTI at the NATRAX. And we pitted the new Bentley Continental GT Speed against the Aston Martin DB12 and the Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo in a battle of the grand tourers.

Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two Track Attack
Taking an SUV to set lap times at a race track may sound ridiculously inappropriate, except when you have a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 mated to the 6D Dynamics suspension. We take the newest Range Rover to the Madras International Circuit, CoASTT and Kari Motor Speedway and enlist national champion racers to set lap times.
