    With Father’s Day looming large in the UK, many sons and daughters will be scratching their heads trying to come up with something to show their dear old Dad’s how much they mean to them. The problem is – what do you buy your Dad?

    Mum’s are a lot easier to buy for because they drop hints or “could always use that around the house”, but Dad’s seem to have everything they could possibly want and don’t drop any hints at all. They might already have drills, lawnmowers and football shirts, and with only summer sports to keep them entertained at the moment going to watch a match is somewhat limited, (unless you like cricket).

    There is one great option for any “sporty” Dad, and that is a track experience. If they’re really into their motorsport or watching shows such as Top Gear then they might love to actually give it a go for real. Sure, you could go Go-Karting for that racing thrill, but there’s nothing like jumping out of the family car and getting into one of those dream cars he would have if he won the lottery or that he’s read about in Big Motoring World News.


    So, now you think this might be an option you’re probably wondering what sort of cars are on offer. It’s a lot different to the showroom models you’ve seen in the local town, or even to the sort of car he’s driven all his life. It’s a whole new animal!

    Aston Martin DB9
    The ultimate car for the ultimate James Bond fan – and anyone who loves the speed and styling of the Aston. The DB9 has one of the best sports car engines ever put inside a vehicle, with its 6-litre V12 producing a top speed of 186mph and reaching 60mph in 4.8 seconds. Famous for being the car driven by James Bond, it’s ideal for anyone who loves to pretend they’re a supercar driver by day and superspy by night.

    Audi R8
    Arguably one of the most beautiful cars ever produced, the Audi R8 will take your breath away before you’ve even started the engine. The 4.2litre V8 engine produced 414bhp and a top speed of 187mph, enough to make your Dad feel like a kid in a sweet shop again!

    BMW M3
    Used at many circuits as the safety car, the BMW M3 is still an animal. The power that comes out of the V8 engine is astonishing and will rival any of the supercars for speed and handling with a top speed that is limited to 155mph, reaching 60mph in just 4.6 seconds – faster than an Aston Martin DB9.

    Ferrari 458
    Is your old chap a fan of speed, style and power? Then the Ferrari 458 is the one. Reaching 60mph in just 3.3 seconds, the 562bhp model is one of the finest to have ever had the prancing horse stamped on the front. More importantly, why wouldn’t you want to say that you’ve thrashed a Ferrari around a race track??

    Lamborghini LP640
    The replacement for the world famous Murcielago has gone down a storm on tracks around the world. The sheer power and speed of the 640bhp V12 Lambo is the ideal experience for a Dad who loves the bright colours and elaborate styling associated with Lamborghinis, and the prospect of opening it up down the straights and throwing it into the corners.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
