‘The mighty motor punches this legendary car through the air’
This magnificent Bentley 8 Litre spent much of its life being honed for speed-record success, and its performance is still remarkable today
HIRED MUSCLE
Vauxhall’s rebadging of an Australian V8 coupé was an ingenious corporate coup that also inspired its fiery VXR performance sub-brand
Cream of the cats
Unfairly maligned when it was new, the Jaguar XJ-S set new standards for aspirational GT motoring and spawned a variety of derivatives across more than two decades in production
Next stop, the Côte d’Azur
From a melted piston at Montlhéry to concours showstopper, this painstakingly restored Bugatti Type 57S by Corsica is on the road once again
Diet poke
Stripped-out late-’90s roadsters didn’t come any more extreme than the Lotus 340R, but in concept, if not execution, the Renault Sport Spider ran it close
