The  2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque  blazes its own trail, with a sleek, low-slung look that marks a radical departure from other  Land Rover  vehicles. Yet, despite its non-SUV-like appearance, the little Evoque is still a Land Rover at heart, every bit as capable off-road as it is on. The  all-wheel-drive  Evoque has several characteristics that set it apart from the competition. Perhaps the most notable is its interior, which features excellent build quality, fine materials and pleasing aesthetics. Even in base trim, the Evoque's interior is stunning, with soft-touch materials, brushed aluminum trim and an automatic gear selector that rises out of the center console. Available as a 5-door SUV or 2-door convertible, the Evoque is intended to lure in younger buyers whose budgets can't quite accommodate a pricey  Range Rover Sport . With a starting price of just under $43,000, the Evoque may very well be the best-looking bargain in the Land...

Since it was revealed that Project Cars would be coming to consoles as well as PC, it's been touted by both the press and its developer Slightly Mad Studios as an upstart competitor to the big beasts of the console racing game scene, Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport. In truth, it's something better than that: it's a genuine alternative. GT and Forza structure massive campaigns around a journey from humble production models to elite racing cars, during which you grind out cash to upgrade your vehicles and add to your collection. Project Cars offers something else, something closer to its PC simulator brethren: a fully unlocked and highly customisable playpen of motorsport, with a focus on an intense, purist on-track experience. It's not inherently better, it's just different - very different. The good news travels both ways, because on PC - arguably its heartland - Project Cars can hold its own among the darlings of the enthusiast scene, games like iRacing and...

Toyota GT86 development car review Toyota has been experimenting with a high performance version of its GT86 coupé. Andrew English takes it for a spin. Toyota is working on a number of upgrades for its GT86 coupé   Slide your heel off the brake pedal and blip the throttle as you change down. The engine rasps like a washing machine loaded with Jumblies, spalling off the Armco as you ease the leather-covered wheel and gently release the brakes so the outside front tyre's still heavy as it changes direction. Raggedly and reluctantly, the rears follow, but then make a bid for freedom. What to do? Correct the slide? Hold it with more throttle? Or maybe touch the brakes and conjure up a big old drift? It's the possibility of making these sorts of decisions which marks out the Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ. This £25,000 two-plus-two coupé rewrites what Tetsuya Tada, the chief engineer, calls the "Devil's cycle" of increased power and we...

PROJECT CARS REVIEW PROS At times it looks as good as real life Superb weather system Open-ended structure means no unlocking Immensely satisfying when you finally win CONS Inconsistent quality across events The AI needs a refresher course in how to drive safely When it all works, Project CARS is so good, it may as well be reality. One Touring Car race I had around Barcelona in the blazing sunshine was so utterly convincing, I felt like I'd actually been there. Even with 30 exquisitely-detailed cars jostling for position around this magnificent, sunshine-drenched, HD circuit, the frame-rate remained smooth and the overall effect equal to real life. It's everything a sim on your new-gen console should be doing: effectively recreating the real world. If you've ever been to a real race track, you'll know that they're nothing like TV would have you believe. It's surprising how 'outdoorsy' they feel. You are, after al...
