    Jaguar F-Type Dealership Launch Bryanston

    Some of us have been lucky enough to have seen the F-Type in the flesh (myself included) but when I got invited to the official launch of this new beauty I did not hesitate to grab the opportunity to see it up close and personal.

    As I arrived on Friday the 19th of July at Jaguar my eyes instantly lit up as outside the entrance to the function was by far the most immaculate E-Type I have seen in my life. The lines on this car are timeless and the owner of this car clearly appreciates what this car means to the heritage of Jaguar and kindly lent it to them to display outside the entrance. This of course grabbed a lot of attention before entering and hundreds of photo’s were taken of this phenomenal car prior to entering.

    Upon entry, we were greeted with smiley and extremely keen faces and I will explain why in a little bit. Champagne in one hand, delicious snacks in the other but the 4 cars hiding under the red silk is what caught my attention immediately. I sat down at one of the tables and started paging through the immaculate brochures on the new car and ended up being drawn into the passion they feel for this car and read it from end to end. A nice couple then sat down with myself and we got chatting about the F-Type and cars in general and then worked out they had ordered the V6 F-Type and were so excited to see it properly for the first time. We exchanged opinions on colour choices and favourite cars of all time and then the action started to happen.

    A mini-movie was shown to us starring a red Jaguar F-Type and some other well known Hollywood celebs but as you all know, this is not why we were there and we could not wait to see the reveal. The head of Jaguar Bryanston then got hold of the microphone and welcomed us all. I know these are the people who have to be over enthusiastic about the product as they are trying to sell them but you could really see that he was extremely genuine and so passionate about their latest arrival which brings me back to the point of the extremely keen faces. All the staff from the dealership had already seen the cars but you could just see how excited they were to pull those covers off for all of us to see.

    On to the reveal and lots and lots of photo’s being snapped. This is the part where I excuse myself for being a really sh*t photographer but that is not my job. As the covers were pulled off, we saw that they had 3 of the big daddy V8 S and one V6 S (this made me happy).

    The F-Type looks so hot in white with black wheels


    Browsing around the vehicles taking pictures from ‘photographic’ angles I heard someone say “start up the V8 please” so I quickly got across to the red V8 S where there was someone about to start it. Switched on video and well I was blown away… Not literally (well almost) but that sound is just out of this world. I really do not think any Jaguar in the world (other than the serious racing ones) sound like this. I have uploaded that video to YouTube and you can watch it below (best with earphones on).

    The roof opens and closes in a very quick 12 seconds and you can do this at upto 50km/h. This post is about the launch and about the overall impact of the car. It is a very good impact and this car will do wonders for Jaguar. This car is a complete 180 for Jaguar in my opinion and in a VERY good way. It will bring an entire new client base and if they keep making cars that look this good then they will keep them too! Once I have driven it (hint hint Jaguar) I will do a post on that but for now, enjoy the sound, the pictures and legitimately think about ordering one of these if you are in the market for a new sporty little car. It is stunning!

    Pricing for this car is as follows but that is not really why I am writing this post:

    • R845 000 for 250kW/460nm V6. 
    • R975 000 for 280kW/460nm V6 S. 
    • R1 385 000 for 364kW/625nm V8 S.

    • 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?
