This month we’ve steered no less than nine other cars for our regular review section, including the new Mégane RS Trophy and the Aventador S Roadster (two Lambo V12s in one issue!).

We also check in on Newman’s i30 N, dive into what the WLTP means for new performance cars, and list the things we really wanted for Christmas.
