Again, this isn't a scan, so the quality isn't nearly as good. Added to that, I didn't want to use a flash, so the ISO is high which = GRAINY :oops:

At least its readable :P

This month we enter Maranello's inner sanctum to worship at the wheels of Ferrari's most powerful series-production car to date, the 620bhp 599 GTB Fiorano. Not to be outdone, Lamborghini has enlarged its legendary V12 engine in the latest Murcielago taking it up to 6.5 litres (from 6.2), creating 630bhp and Pagani is launching a new 'Clubsport' version of the Zonda F - with 640bhp. We try them out. On sale now.

014 Planet evo
Hot-hatch fans rejoice - we've got lovely studio shots of the new Clio Renaultsport for you to drool over. It's got this year's must-have rear diffuser and power is up to a fashionable 197bhp. We also have pictures of Honda's new Civic Type R, details of Noble's forthcoming M15 supercar and, for those of you hirsute of chest and ample of medallion, there's a 12.9-litre, 1100bhp Cobra

044 Driven
BMW Z4 M Roadster, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Mazda 6 MPS, Audi Shooting Brake, Kleemann ML50K S8, Saab 9-3 Convertible, Vauxhall Meriva VXR, Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, SEAT Ibiza Cupra. Corvette C6 Auto

065 Letters
You like light cars, you hate overly complicated ones and you don't mind getting your hands dirty. And one of you thinks John Barker is a miserable sod. Read his witty retort exclusively on page 67

074 Ferrari 599 GTB
We enter Maranello's inner sanctum to worship at the wheels of Ferrari's most powerful series-production car to date, the 620bhp 599 GTB Fiorano. While he's there, Richard Meaden tries to stop his eyes wandering long enough to conduct a coherent interview with the men behind (and, paradoxically, in front of) the new GTB

086 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640
Just when you thought it couldn't get any bigger, Lamborghini has enlarged the legendary V12 yet again, this time taking it out from 6.2 to 6.5 litres, creating 630bhp (or 640PS) in the process

092 Pagani Zonda Roadster F Clubsport
Not to be outdone, Pagani is launching a new 'Clubsport' version of the Zonda F. With a cool 640bhp, it's available in coupe and, as we discover, Roadster forms. And, being a Pagani, Clubsport doesn't mean wind-up windows, no air-conditioning and a blanking plate where the radio should be

098 RIP
As the curtains close and the small gathering quietly sob into their sober suits, we take a look at some of our favourite cars that have reached the end of their production lines. The Toyota MR2, Clio Renaultsport V6, Vauxhall Monaro and Honda NSX are fondly remembered, and at the wake we ask the question: why couldn't they have taken the 206 GTi or PT Cruiser instead?

108 Ferrari 612 Road Test
It's not often you get to do a full 'figures and laps' test on a Ferrari, and it's even rarer that the factory will come and watch your methods. John Barker carefully attaches the test gear to a 612 Scaglietti and then shreds its Pirellis

118 Project Westfield XI
The mighty Eleven begins to take shape this month as it's moved from one Roger's garage to another Roger's eminently more suitable workshop. Inspired by the new surroundings, terms like 'Panhard rod' and 'dizzy' are soon flowing from the mouths of evo's amateur grease-monkeys. It's almost as if they know what they're talking about

122 Sports Saloons Test
The rally-bred Mitsubishi Evo and Subaru Impreza are the performance four-door establishment, but BMW and Vauxhall produce mighty fine alternatives that should give them a run for their money. Is four-wheel drive still king? Deputy ed Bovingdon goes searching for the best on Exmoor

134 Long-Term Tests
Chee's Range Rover Sport has been surrounded by tweed this month and got a puncture in protest. The Hyundai Coupe now looks like Darth Vader, the Aston has returned from its unscheduled sojourn at Gaydon, and some grotty scum-of-the-earth has written possibly the only two words he can spell on the front of the 993

146 evo Sport
Since 1995 the Caterham Academy has initiated over 400 novices (including our own Mr Bovingdon, in a close-ish-run battle with contributor David Yu) in the delights of racing. John Barker ambles down memory pitlane and recalls the highs, the lows and the dented bodywork of the last 11 years

186 Birth of an Icon: Lancia Stratos
A Ferrari Dino engine, a body that still looks futuristic today, and handling that is probably best described as attention-grabbing. Colin Goodwin looks back at the birth of the mid-engined, Bertone-designed, rally-winning Lancia Stratos

... and the collectors edition cover (forgot to post it - had it a few days now)

Thanks for the first test of this amazing new Ferrari :D Don´t worry about the quality, i´m sure TT will post a scan later!

[RAMMIUS]

Thx for the scans , we need info about this new beauty :P

BTW , what are the numbers they got from the Scaglietti test ??

On the dyno, the 612 posted 547 BHP and 440 lb ft of torque. Both higher than the claimed figures. Unfortunately, the 612 was about 50 kg heavier than the factory numbers. It weighed in @ 1914 kg, of which 45% is on the front (863 kg), and 55% on the rear (1051 kg).

Hell, I'll just post the numbers up instead of typing them. I'm lazy :P

The acceleration numbers are a somewhat slower, because it was cold during the test. The magazine acknowlages this.

As the competition goes, it absolutely annihilated them. The 612 lapped the circuit @ 1:25.95. The DB9 @ 1:28.9, the M6 @ 1:27.05, and the Bentley CGT @ 1:32.20.

Needless to say, they were very impressed. 5/5 stars

On a sidenote, the last sentence goes like this: "The two-seat, Enzo engined 599 GTB promises to be extraordinary."

[RAMMIUS]

Thx a lot for the info nejcdolinsek :P

I brought my copy yesterday, and the layout is somewhat different? :cry: But did you get the flyer for the next 3 issues for £1 (Approx-$75)?

[5.7 V10]
