Now, the era of multi-cylinder engines

The lead feature of the August issue is “Eternal Admiration: The World of Multi-Cylinder Engines.” From a full-throttle test of the Lamborghini Revuelto, equipped with a naturally aspirated V12 engine, at the Vianne Circuit in France, to the secrets of the Bugatti Tourbillon V16 engine that will pique your intellectual curiosity, and a comparative test drive of the V12-powered Rolls-Royce Ghost against the V8-powered Bentley Flying Spur Speed, we explore the appeal of multi-cylinder engine cars from around the world.

The second feature is “THE SUPER SPORT,” which brings together the latest sports models. This section is also packed with interesting content, including a comparative test drive of the Lotus Emira SE vs. the Porsche 911 Carrera, and an impression of the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance at Fuji Speedway.
