Currently reading: Autocar magazine 1 June – out now

In this week's issue Renault's super-hot Clio RS16 gets examined, we drive the latest hot Mégane and sample desert sands in the new Toyota Hilux

Fans of Renault Sport will love this week’s Autocar, as we celebrate the arrival of Renault's hotly anticipated Clio RS16 by looking back at some of its best ever hot models, including the Mégane Trophy-R, Clio 182 Trophy and Spider.

There's also a first drive in the new Toyota Hilux and a Seat Ibiza Cupra joins our long-term test fleet, plus, we examine the latest Nissan GT-R Nismo in close detail, look ahead at PSA's future plans for electric power and meet the new Elemental RP1 track car.

Also in this issue:

We drive the petrol-electric Kia Niro crossover, sample the facelifted Nissan GT-R, consider whether a Ssangyong Tivoli in 1.6-litre diesel spec offers class-leading value for money, sample JE MotorWorks' latest Defender and subject the new Rolls-Royce Dawn to a full road test.

On top of all that we look back at an old road test of a modern classic hot hatch, the Volkswagen Polo G40.

Our long-term test cars:

New to the fleet is a Seat Ibiza Cupra in range-topping Black guise, plus we rate the fuel economy of our Audi A4 and get to know our Peugeot 308 GTi - which has rather worryingly received a thumbs up for power from a car park valet...

Deals:

The classifieds have been scanned to find the best used coupés that can carry bicycles, and we look at the most interesting second-hand supercharged offerings on sale at bargain prices.
