► Watch the video, see the out-takes
► Europe vs America: the sports cars
The February 2015 issue of CAR magazine is led by Days Of Thunder, a very special five-day road trip across California and Nevada in four of 2015’s hottest new cars.
It’s Europe vs America, a kind of high-octane Ryder Cup for cars. Watch our backstage video above to see how the BMW i8 and Lamborghini Huracan fared against two of the US’s most exciting new cars, the Dodge SRT Hellcat and Ford Mustang.
CAR’s editor-at-large Chris Chilton is your guide, as four staffers get to grips with four very different sports cars and fast-changing scenery, stretching from the Pacific Coast Highway on the west coast to the deserts of Nevada and some remarkably Alpine hills.
The quartet take in the starry lights and excess-all-areas of Las Vegas, the sprawling mass of downtown Los Angeles, a drag race at the Vegas Motor Speedway and a magical step back in time during excursions to the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Angeles National Forest and Eldorado Canyon.
All to the backbeat of the screaming Huracan, the muscle-bound 707bhp Hellcat, extraordinarily sideways Mustang and the devilishly clever i8.
