2018 Audi S5 Sportback:
It’s something of a no-brainer, this clever amalgamation of parts derived from an existing platform: Take the best-looking body and fit the strongest powertrain into it, and voilà: the new-to-the-U.S. Audi S5 Sportback. It combines the low, sleek lines of the new A5 Sportback with the strong 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 that we recently enjoyed in the S4 sedan. Obvious as its appeal may seem, the previous-generation A5/S5 Sportback was not offered in North America, a decision taken perhaps as an overreaction to the general impression that Americans don’t buy hatchbacks. This fastback variant on Audi’s sedans, though, doesn’t have any econocar overtones to its appearance, which is distinguished by wide, horizontal bars in the lower air intakes. At the rear, four exhaust tips and a handsome (if nonfunctional) lower diffuser panel are the S5 Sportback’s calling cards. We’ve expressed reservations about the conservative redesigns of both the new A4 and A5, but the Sportback is nicely executed, a car that you’ll want to show off. And thanks to the special-order Coral Orange paint on the example we drove, being seen was all but unavoidable as we drove it around Neuburg an der Donau, west of Audi’s headquarters in Ingolstadt, Germany.

2018 Honda Civic Type R:
Peak power output from the optimised and refined 2.0-litre VTEC TURBO engine is 320 PS at 6,500rpm, and peak torque is 400Nm from 2,500rpm to 4,500rpm. It covers the 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) sprint in just 5.7 seconds and will go on to a top speed of 272km/h (169mph); meaning it is both the fastest-accelerating and quickest car in its class. It is also the fastest Type R ever around the Nürburgring Nordschleife with a lap time of 7min 43.8sec. The Honda Civic Type R has a new selection of driving modes, adding a 'Comfort' setting to the default 'Sport' and track-focused '+R' modes - all of which tailor the suspension compliance, steering geometry and throttle response of the car on demand. Compared to the previous Type R, the more significant difference between the damping forces of each driving mode gives the new car greater usability across a wider range of road surfaces. Notably, Comfort mode affords a high degree of compliance, coupled with a less urgent level of steering response...
