Speed Week 2023

The new issue of Top Gear magazine is out now!

Our annual Speed Week issue is on sale now, with 15 of the year’s greatest performance cars battling it out

Published: 04 Oct 2023

It’d be safe to say that Speed Week is the highlight of our year. It’s Top Gear’s annual festival of fast, where we gather the greatest cars of the past 12 months for the ultimate road and track test. 

The winner is crowned our Performance Car of the Year, and you can find out which of the 15 contenders took the top spot this year by grabbing the latest issue of Top Gear magazine. It’s on sale now, so order a copy and have it delivered direct to your door by clicking these blue words.

Fancy a bit more research before you do just that? Well, you can read more about the gist of Speed Week by clicking here.

This year we headed to Gotland – an island off the east coast of Sweden – and the aptly titled Gotlandring circuit. We also set ourselves the task of reducing our carbon footprint wherever possible, while still producing a library’s worth of the world’s greatest car content over the course of a few days.

So, grab the mag to see what happened when Porsche’s 911 Dakar met Lamborghini’s Huracán Sterrato, or which hot hatch triumphed when the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N came up against the Honda Civic Type R, the Polestar 2 BST Edition 230 and the strangely noisy Abarth 500e. There’s also some sibling rivalry between the BMW M2 and M3 Touring, and a beginner, intermediate and advanced sports car test of the Toyota GR86, the Lotus Emira i4 and the McLaren Artura.

And it’s not just Speed Week that you’ll find in this month’s issue. We’ve also managed to stuff in our review of the new V12-engined Lamborghini Revuelto, news of the all-electric Lotus Emeya and columns from Chris Harris, Paul Horrell and TGTV script editor Sam Philip.
