*Why the four-cylinder Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman was one of the car world's greatest misses* For 20 years a naturally aspirated, flat-six engine had been the Boxster’s heart. The original 2.5-litre was a little light on torque and its 196bhp required some enthusiastic wrist action with the five-speed ’box to make the most of what was being offered. But the result was a sweet sports car, one that continually improved with age and engine evolution. Until 2016 that is.

*Toyota's Celica GT-Four is the forgotten Group A rally icon* Integrale, Escort RS Cosworth, Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Evo are all evocative names that elicit memories of flat out, foot to the floor antics in murky forest stages. One name that’s missing from that list is the Toyota Celica GT-Four, and it could be argued that it should really feature much higher up the list of Group A rally heroes than it does in most fans’ memories. The GT-Four was a staple of the World Rally Championship and won several of driver’s and manufacturer’s crowns, yet it’s a rare sight today.
