    Guest Post: SRT Viper GTS-R.. Expensive.. But So Worth It

    On every rich person’s bucket list, somewhere in the mist of all the variety they can think of, you will find something that has to do with a car. That something will be to pay $459 000 on the Viper GT3-R. A model which you may never see at a local dealer like Lynch. You can’t take it for a spin just anywhere but to take a picture with it, and show proof that itis yours will put you in the legendary hall of fame of individuals who’ve spent colossal amounts of money on vehicles. But what’s more important than the price is if the experience, comfort, powertrain, and everything else is worth it? Let’s take a look at the specifications that only a small percentage of people in the world can really consider over dinner at Barclay Prime (serves $100 cheesecake).


    Under the hood the SRT Viper GTS-R is powered by a 9.0-liter V10 engine that produces between 48-490 horsepower, reaching a top speed of 185 mph. It features a trans-axle mounted in the rear, with paddle shifters on the steering wheel to conveniently and efficiently change gears. Tubular header exhaust system, which is one of the finest, and in appropriation to the Green Initiative program a Fuel- #85-110-liter tank is required. Brakes are the top of the art Brembo braking system. One of the most important components to the vehicle, as well. It features Caliper front and rear, 6-piston and 4-piston. The Rotors are 2-piece cast iron. Cooling ducts provide air to keep the brakes cool and reduce fade and wear on this race horse. Leading us into the aero portion of the presentation.

    What really puts the SRT Viper GTS-R on anyone’s wish list are the aerodynamic refinements. The rear wing helps with overall down force, but the cooling ducts reduce drag and ad additional down force. As the vehicle gains speed, the front fascia plays a role in aero effects as it and the splitter were moved forward.  In addition to blowing your mind with undeniable speed, handle, and appeal, the SRT Viper GTS-R has the requisite safety features required by U.S Law. I don’t think it has any other flaw besides the fact that we can’t pick up our dates in this Dodge legend.  The best match for this vehicle, one that you may take on the road, would be the Lamborghini Murcielago which has a base price of $450 000.

    • 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?
