Is it this one?
This Months evo
his month the mag team went all continental with a trip to Maranello and a first drive of the new Ferrari F430. The car it has to beat is the Lamborghini Gallardo, both of which are put through their paces on Italian tarmac from the autostrada to Mille Miglia road race route. Still in our dream-like state we continue apace with not one but two Pagani Zondas - the Roadster and the C12S - and thats before we get to the Maserati, the Alfa and the Lancia...

057 Letters
A reader warns of the perils of converting from a nice predictable front-driver to a mid-engined rear-drive sports car, whilst another claims that speed in itself has nothing to do with the thrill of driving and that our 250mph cover story was complete twaddle. Thanks. Another takes issue with Rowan Atkinsons slur on superchargers, with limited success
068 New Porsche Boxster
Yes it is the new Boxster and, despite looking like a tiny evolutionary step, its a seriously big leap forward, as Harry Metcalfe finds at the launch in Austria. We also get the inside line on Porsches punishing hot weather testing from Ian Kuah
080 The Italian Issue
The launch of a new Ferrari is reason enough to gorge ourselves on a diet of pure Italian exotica this month, so weve all had our snouts in the trough. Meaden gives his verdict on the stunning F430 and drives its deadly rival from Lamborghini on the same roads. Metcalfe tastes heaven in a Zonda Roadster in convoy with a C12S driven by Mr Pagani himself. John Barker dissects the legendary 250 LM which, incredibly, was the last Ferrari to win Le Mans outright. Of course, Ferrari has enjoyed class wins in recent years, and it was these that inspired the mad 550 LM which Bovingdon drives to its spiritual home. Its been quite a month
