evo Car of the Year 2018

The very best new cars of 2018, together, on the road, for one mighty test and the most anticipated verdict of the motoring calendar. Which will be crowned evo's Car of the Year?

Alpine A110, BMW M2 Competition, Ferrari 488 Pista, Ford Fiesta ST, McLaren 600LT, Porsche 911 GT2 RS, Renault Mégane RS and the Volkswagen Up GTi – eight great cars, five packed days and thousands of miles around the Scottish Borders to crown one overall winner.

No Jethro screen time, you forgot 5th place BMW M2 Competition, and we can't even see the McLaren at the end of the video because it's being blocked by video links and a subscribe button... wtf?

[jeffjardine]

Evo isn't Evo anymore. You have some work ahead to get back to your past highs.

Really disappointed in the footage! Lack of effort... could have been good. Lack of incar footage and commentary. No emotion. It’s a 3/10 for me.

And the Worst Car of the Year 2018 video is.... Evo car of the year 2018

[stevenadam]

4days for only a 12min video? Bring back eCOTY of old.

[Frodokeuh]

"it takes awhile for the 600LT to get going"
i guess i'll take that with a whole bag of salt... lol

[errorblah]

The quality of this video is a real piss take compared to last years. Budget cuts?

[xevious]

Oh boy critics, in regards to Ferrari, one minute theyre all about livability, look at the NSX who taught ferrari how
to make a supercar livable. Now Ferrari does that with an insanely fast and yet insanely livable car, and they're wishing it was far more raw and uncivil.

Remember when ECOTY was hands down the best car video of the year? I miss those days

[kristian]

Genuinely disappointed with the lack of effort guys, this video should have been at least double the length. We watch this for an in-depth review of each car not a snippet!

[mitch_tcf]

Worst Evo Car of the year you've ever done. 😔

[Carrera-gpod]

Low budget crap, the magazine has went right down hill too

[ALMXDP]

And no screen time from Jethro? Is that because of MT's hold on him?

[tp]

I'm glad EVO is still releasing videos for COTY but they are not what they use to be. EVO COTY 2015 was the pinnacle of automotive videography...you can watch all 29 minutes of that film over and over again, and it'll never get old. Absolutely timeless.

[aronhoekstra]

You guys skipped 5th place and went from 6th straight to 4th.

[Lazerus]

It's never been the same since Harry left and I am a life long subscriber to EVO. I miss the days of Metcalfe, Meaden, Catchpole, Harris, Bovingdon, Barker and Green. Motoring journalism royalty right there.

[Mike.W.Dasher]

3:12 I think the camera operator may need a new pair of pants.

[lcowboy]

The quality of ECOTY video’s from previous years were much better. Why was the GT3RS left out of this comparo? As it won the battle of the Porsche GT cars in EVO’s issue from the previous month, shouldn’t that make it the nominee for the Porsche camp?

[YachtReport]

Firstly I’d like to thank EVO for producing this video. It’s been a whilst since you did one. You set such a high standard in the past this video does fall short but I’m glad it exists. Secondly I hope you’ll start building on this to produce more of what you’ve done in the past.
