    There has been this new craze popping up all over the car world and for once it is really one that I enjoy and truly love. You see I am a 80’s baby and there are only a few 80’s car models that were truly beautiful. The Ferrari Testarossa comes to mind but then it all goes south…

    Beautiful Testarossa

    Now I can safely say that the good car years are coming back in the shape of old models being revived and even in some instances even improved. The new SLS Gullwing, Camaro, Mustang, and then the awesome GT40, this is really one car craze that is making me a very happy car lover. Click read more

    SLS – Young and Old

    The style of the old classics in the new bloodline is working and working well even if you look at the sales of these cars and that makes me truly happy living through this period of revived cars. But then there are cars that I just don’t want them to do again like the epic Jaguar E-type (the most beautiful car of all time according to me) I really don’t think they can capture that beauty again in a reincarnation and remember that was a spur of the moment design for Jaguar. I know there are going to be more attempts recreating these classics and there will be some bloopers but hey that is normal for someone to stuff up something because that is part of car physics design.

    Camaro – Young and Old

    Cars that I also don’t think will go down well is the Citroën 2CV but will be cool though is a DeLorean remake or on the other hand that could also be a recipe for disaster.

    Citroen C2V Concept

    The problem that I see with these cars is that they have to comply with the safety of the generation and all the comfort features that just have to be there. This increase the weight and changes the whole feel of the car, a good example is the Golf MK1 GTi that car had massive character but the new ones just don’t have that aura about them the same goes for the new Mini…

    Golf GTi – Young and Old

     Let’s hope this car craze keeps on going for a while. I guess what I am trying to say is that Die Hard 1 was better than Die Hard 4 but then again Bad Boys 2 was better than the first one, there are still recipes that work and others that clearly do not.

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

    • #WideWednesday showing off this bold Urus sporting the Novitec Esteso widebody and aero kit done by @race1_ 

It also packs a full Supersprint exhaust so you will certainly hear it before you see it coming.

Snapped by @airaga95 at Brentwood Mall

    • Possibly the first privately-owned Mercedes-AMG GT3 in South Africa showed up at Dezzi Raceway in KZN for its first local drive.
