This video by Henry Catchpole of former Evo fame is great, especially with footage of the car's hot lap at the hands of a racing driver. You really get a sense of how this derestricted track toy behaves on the limit, and Henry himself goes through the details of what makes it so different — and special — from the "regular" GT3 car with said racing driver: He also brings up some of McLaren's more recent track specials, such as the P1 GTR and Senna GTR so out of these 3, which one is your favourite? I know none of us commenting here on the forums can afford them, but hey, there's nothing wrong with fantasising right? 😍 Personally, I don't gravitate toward any of those, but I'd sell my soul in a heartbeat if given access to a F1 GTR Longtail! 😈

Carfection does a road review for the Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR
chitchatboy posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
Volkswagen's Golf GTI TCR is the last of the special editions for the mk7 generation of the GTIs. So is it the best one of them all? Inspired by the TCR International Series, the Golf GTI TCR is not the most hardcore of the Mk7 GTIs but with 286bhp from its 2.0-litre turbo four paired exclusively to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels, it is far from soft. Watch what Carfection's Henry Catchpole has to say about the car in the video below! -
The Mercedes-AMG GT R was never a soft car but the folks at Affalterbach think that there are people who want an even more focused car, giving birth to the newly-launched Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro. With 577bhp and 700Nm, the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 produces exactly the same amount of power and torque as the GT R. It also does the century sprint in 3.6 seconds and has a has a top speed of 318km/h identical to the non-Pro variant. So what is so special about the car? Watch the video above by Carfection and see what its host, Henry Catchpole has to say.

Carfection's Henry Catchpole has taken the new BMW M2 Competition out for a spin. Will the new engine or handling impress him? With the adoption of the current M3/4 engine, the baby M car has finally gotten a proper M engine that has been tuned here to produce 404hp, around 20bhp lesser than its larger siblings. Also in the transformation to the competition variant, the M2 also gets additional cooling, an upgraded M differential, a revised steering column, new suspension, bigger brakes, a new exhaust and the likes. If you have some time to kill, why not watch the video below and see what Catchpole has to say about the more hardcore M2.
