New TG magazine out now: Godzilla returns!

Is the Japanese performance car about to be rebooted? The Nissan HyperForce, Toyota FT-Se, Mazda SP Iconic and Lexus Electrified Sports Concept are all concept cars that play off some big names from the past, so for this month’s issue of Top Gear magazine we sent Tom Ford to Japan to meet them all, read between the lines of Japan’s PR machine, and report back.

Oh, and while there, he also ventured out to find the four originals that inspired them and hear their owners’ stories. Yep, we’re talking the Lexus LFA, Mazda RX-7, Toyota MR2 and Nissan GT-R.

Of course, it’s not just Japanese sports cars this month. We’ve also got the full lowdown on the new, all-electric Porsche Macan and a behind-the-scenes look at what’s really going on at Lucid Motors. Oh, and we also found ourselves tagging along on a Supercar Owners Circle event. A club for the supercar-loving super rich? Sounds like just the sort of place where we’d fit neatly in... or not.

And that’s not all. We’ve also got first drives of the Lexus LBX, the BYD Seal and the Polestar 3. Plus, the Aston Martin DB12 goes up against the new, V6-engined Maserati Granturismo in a battle of the super GTs. Click here to get your copy.
