ASTON MARTIN DBR9
More than anything else, it is the noise of Aston Martin’s DBR9 Le Mans car that makes you want to run away and hide.
Watch Andrew Frankel flinging the Aston Martin DBR9 around Le Mans
Read the full review of a car that is so loud it hurts
CAPARO T1
Nicholas Rufford is taught three punishing lessons at Goodwood. Lesson one: 0-60mph in 2.5sec. Lesson two: being subjected to 3G around Goodwood’s bends. And lesson three: 205mph flat out down the straights.
Watch Nick tear round Goodwood in a machine touted as the Bugatti Veyron killer

BUGATTI VEYRON
Utterly, stunningly, jaw droppingly brilliant. When you push a car past 180mph, the world starts to get awfully fizzy and a little bit frightening. When you go past 200mph it actually becomes blurred. Almost like you’re trapped in an early Queen pop video.
Watch the head to head between the Bugatti Veyron and McLaren F1

WHICH IS THE ALPHA ALFA?
I’m no movie buff but I will never forget The Graduate, not because of the plot but because of the car he drove, a 1967 Alfa Romeo Spider. Forty years on marks the arrival of its spiritual successor: the 2007 Alfa Romeo Spider.
Watch the head to head between the 1967 Alfa Romeo Spider and its 2007 counterpart
Read Jason Dawe’s review of the Alfa Romeo Spiders
JAGUAR XK
It is pant-wettingly pretty and it makes just the most visceral, animal snarl when you boot it. On the move this turns into a muted version of the noise you got from 1970s American muscle cars. You’ll adore it.
Watch the Jaguar XK video
Read Jeremy Clarkson’s verdict on the Jaguar XK Convertible
HONDA CIVIC R
The Type R corners at dizzy speeds, feels as secure as a lifeboat in a slight swell and, crucially, steers beautifully.
Watch as Jensen Button tests the Honda Civic R

FERRARI
Enzo Ferrari said that he was very happy to sit on a committee to agree the design of his Ferraris. But he had two rules: the committee must contain an odd number of members; and that it was to be an odd number less than three.

BROOKE DOUBLE VS CATERHAM
Nicholas Rufford and Jason Dawe pit two of Britain’s fastest stripped-down racers in a track duel.

BEAUJOLAIS RUN
Wacky racers do it for wine. Since they banned the jump jet, a bizarre collection of cars has fought it out on the Beaujolais Run. In a race for fun, everyone’s a winner.
