Extreme machines: it’s May’s Top Gear magazine

Welcome to Top Gear magazine's ‘Extreme Machines' issue. Please mind your head on the way in.

Yep, in the May 2015 issue, we celebrate the special ops divisions from the world's carmakers, and look at some of the most extreme cars in the world.

In 12 hours. There he'll be greeted by a tame racing driver...

There's more still. We drop in on Ken Block and get access to his personal playground - including the incredible 845bhp ‘Hoonicorn' Mustang - get up close with the cars from Mad Max (and the man behind them), drive the new Range Rover Sport SVR, and spend some time in Maranello to discover more on the phenomenal 1035bhp Ferrari FXXK.

The May issue is also the only place to read TGTV's Executive Producer, Andy Wilman, tell you how the planet's greatest car show came to be.

We take a first look at the new McLaren 570S, Subaru BRZ STI, Porsche Boxster Spyder and Lincoln Continental, and review all the new cars that matter, including the BMW M135i, Maxda CX-3, Volkswagen Scirocco R, Cadillac ATS-V and Audi TT Roadster.

The May issue of Top Gear magazine is available now.
