MOTOR Magazine May 2019 issue preview

If all this talk about electrification and autonomous technology has gotten you down, the May 2019 issue of MOTOR Magazine will administer a healthy dose of automotive hedonism for you.

From MOTOR’s exclusive on BMW’s secret 331kW M2 CS, a detailed deep-dive into Koenigsegg’s latest 1195kW hypercar, and a comparison with five sub-5sec 0-100km/h performance sedans, this month’s issue is certainly to be a power trip!
