Octane 276 is on sale now, led by a cover feature that focuses on the defining moments of the Le Mans 24 Hours, marking the greatest drives of each decade – with highlights including the Bentley Boys, Nuvolari and Chinetti, Jaguar D-type to XJR-9, Ford GT40s, Porsche 917 and 919, McLaren F1 GTR and more.

We’ve also had our first drive of the much-anticipated Aston Martin Valhalla, as well as some time behind the wheel of Jaguar’s controversial new electric GT, driven alongside the classics that informed its development.

Elsewhere in the issue a striking 1930s Delage Milord by Figoni et Falaschi, while the extraordinary Cizeta-Moroder V16T tells the story of one of the most ambitious and unusual supercar projects of the 1990s. There is also a detailed look at the Porsche 911 Sportomatic, exploring an often-overlooked chapter in the model’s evolution.
Adventure and endurance feature strongly, too. A London-to-Singapore journey in pre-war machinery underlines the spirit of long-distance motoring. We also tell the story of Wilbur, the fabulous classic Rover that has undergone the Car S.O.S treatment, and we also spend time interviewing this year’s Eurovision performer Sam Battle (Look Mum No Computer), who is as much a car enthusiast as he is a musician.
