Autocar is a weekly British automobile magazine published by Haymarket Motoring Publications Ltd. It was first published in 1895 and refers to itself as "The World's oldest car magazine". There are now several international editions including China, India, New Zealand and South Africa.
The publication was launched as The Autocar by Iliffe and Sons Ltd "in the interests of the mechanically propelled road carriage" on 2 November 1895 when, it is believed, there were only six or seven cars in the United Kingdom. In his book Drive On!L. J. K. Setright suggests that the magazine was set up by Henry Sturmey as an organ of propaganda for Harry J. Lawson, founder of the Daimler Company and a journalist on the magazine in its early days. Henry Sturmey stood down as editor of The Autocar magazine and left the company in 1901.
Autocar claims to have invented the road test in 1928 when it analysed the Austin 7 Gordon England Sunshine Saloon. Autocar has been published weekly throughout its life with only strikes in the 1970s interrupting its frequency. In 1988, it absorbed its long-time rival The Motor magazine, founded by Temple Press Ltd on 28 January 1903, briefly calling itself Autocar & Motor afterwards, before reverting to Autocar. The magazine has scored many firsts in its history including the first full road tests and independent performance tests of the Jaguar XJ220, McLaren F1, and the Porsche 911 GT1. It was also the first magazine to produce independently recorded performance figures for the Bugatti Veyron, which were published in the 31 May 2006 issue.

Can the Porsche 718 Cayman S become Autocar's best driver's car of the year? Every autumn we set out to name Britain's Best Driver's Car, in our annual new sports car extravaganza.

Here, though, is the Porsche 718 Cayman S, and its attempt to win us over. It has a deliciously good chassis, but these days only a four-cylinder engine. How will it get on?

The moon is full again
Dilating eyes begin to change
Shape shifting, shooting pain
Dominates my body, intense strain
Reborn eternally
New victim smiles while she bleeds
What will become of me (of me)
Sustaining life
My thirst is pure indulgence
Blessed with this curse
My thirst becomes my sentence
Sustaining life
My thirst is pure indulgence
Blessed with this curse
My thirst becomes my hell
Existing tragically
Alive by night
Dead by light
Once was the prince of peace
Now I am king of the damned
Left behind life's remorse
Stand tall in shadows, feel the force
