The seven-speed dual-clutch paddleshift transmission remains though in fairness it had little room for improvement, while the big news in the chassis department is the fitment of the Performante's trick rear-steering system. That, of course, was the Performante's name under the previous naming convention, yet the Evo differs in one significant way and it's not just the lack of super-sticky Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo Rtyres -- no, don't think your Evo is going to set a 6:52.01 around the Nordschleife, unless you retrofit the Performante's Aerodinámica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA) active aerodynamics, of which the Evo misses out entirely.

MIDSHIP RUNABOUTS: THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT A MID-ENGINE SPORTS CAR. Alpine pilfered Renault Sport for its best hot hatch engineers (coincidence then that the new generation Clio RS and Megane RS lost their mojo?) to resurrect the famed Alpine brand from the 1960s and '70s. Left foot on the brake, right foot flat, the revs build to 3500rpm, off the brake and you're pushed back into the seat in a frenzy of chattering traction, loud turbo hissing and twin-clutch upchange braps. Turn the keyfob and a blindfolded person might guess you just started a Subaru WRX but getting over that, for the cheapest Porsche sports car you can buy, the Cayman is eager to surprise a few cars when it comes to acceleration.

Quite how it went from a wingless, four-door, rear-drive sedan to the fire-breathing, twin-turbo V6, all-wheel-drive coupe we know today is the objective of the next 62 pages. From "Hakosuka", we very briefly give a nod to the ill-fated "Ken Mari", the second GT-R. Then we fast-forward 16 years, as Nissan did, to the R32 GT-R, whose own 30th anniversary is August 21, 2019. We've outlined how no other country outside of Japan has a connection to GT-R like Australia does (up until 2007 we were one of just a handful of countries that officially sold the GT-R).

CHASING MIDNIGHT: THE MID NIGHT CLUB WAS A SECRET SOCIETY OF HIGH-SPEED TOKYO STREET RACERS. I've been hot on the tail of the mysterious Mid Night Club, the exclusive and secret clique of street racers that streaked across Tokyo's public expressways at speeds of more than 300km/h, in the '80s and '90s. Formed in 1982, the Mid Night Club, or Mid Night Racing Team, would meet, as its name suggests, in the middle of the night, and host full-blown races up the multi-lane expressways that skirt Tokyo's Bay Area. Infamous for high-speed, late-night freeway antics of his own, there is a video on YouTube of him in a mega-horsepower R33 GT-R, doing the most enormous burnout in the middle of the motorway before clocking 328km/h in a Tokyo tunnel.
