Some good stuff in this months EVO....Its a turbo edition past and present.

ENZO V 911 GT2 RS V XJ220 V Noble M600 - I know the Noble is silly money but I really do like the car.

Maserati Ghibli Cup v 930 Turbo v Excourt Cossie v R32 V R26 R

Road test of the Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari.

Road test Ferrari FF - I really am liking this car and they do as well.

Harry Metcalfe gives his thought on his long term Maserati GT and Audi RS5 as he feels they are both the same sort of car - He's says that the GT looks drives and accommadates passengers better than the Audi that its almost embarrassing.

As most of you know I'm also a huge Lotus fan and there is a good two pages on the future now that the Paris Motorshow is has gone......The Esprit, which is a great looking car is not havong a Toyota engine it will have a Lotus V8 thats will be a rival for the 458 and MP4-12C yet under cut them on price by 20% and will offer similar performance, sound great and be more economical. Can not wait.

Alfa Romeo
They have put the launch of the critical new Guila mid-size saloon back by at least 6 months as the CEO Sergio Marchionne said the styling didn't pass his 'gut instinct' test................What this does now mean is that the 4C will now be put back until 2013...

He said the Mito and 8C are clearly Alfa Romeo's...The Guila at the moment could be any car if you take the badge off...His words were...If you take the badge off it could be any boring German machiine.....Good to know there is still passion at Alfa, but not so good for all of us who have a deposit down for the 4C...

They still like it to Adam....They can not pick a winner in that group test they just say that any one of the cars in your garage would enrich your life

What are the prices of Ghibli Cup's these days?? there was that red one on Pistonheads last year that was about 18k but i remember a few on here saying they thought it was over priced. I bet a Ghibli Cup would be a good investment, cant see them losing money as they are so rare.

16 to 18k I would say for a good Ghibli these days...Remember they only made 26 RHD examples.....

I think there is only one colour to have on a Ghibli Cup and thats red....Just seems to suit the car so well.

Yes Red is nice, tell you what, here is a comparison, not sure which i like best, it is a close call.

I know Pibbow's yellow one is a different shade to the Yellow on the cup model. Pibbow has the only Yellow Ghibli GT.
