Ferrari has revealed the second member of the 488 family: the Spider. The open-top, V8 supercar becomes the most powerful drop-top ever to come out of Maranello – with 660bhp sending it from 0-62mph in just 3 seconds.

The Ford GT supercar is set to debut in 2016 and sell for £250,000. Unfortunately, it looks like less than 10 could be allocated to the UK of the 250 planned to be made each year.

UK buyers of the hotly anticipated Mustang now face a year long wait to get their hands on the car. UK sales are predicted to hit 1,800 in a year though, which suggests Ford already has a number of buyers lined up this side of the Atlantic. 

The new Honda Civic Type R has already beaten a SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Sport Megane Trophy round our test track in South Wales. And that got us thinking, how would it fare against practical performance cars like the Audi RS3 and the BMW M3?

This week Mercedes has revealed official pictures of it’s hotly anticipated the C 63 Coupe, which we’ll see in the metal for the first time at the Frankfurt show. It’s set to cost from around £61,000 and Mercedes hopes it will have the same success as the BMW M4. 

And finally, is this the world’s worst car? It’s called the Tartan Prancer and has been created for the film Vacation, a remake of the 1983 film National Lampoons Vacation that’s due in cinemas this August. Judge for yourself…
