    Shell V-Power Nitro+ Festival in Johannesburg

    For me, Shell will always remind me of Ferrari and Formula 1 so when I heard about their new Shell V-Power Nitro+ fuel I knew it would one of the best out there. Well it is in fact so good that it is 99% the very same fuel that goes into the Formula One Scuderia Ferrari’s. It didn’t come easy though because this ultimate new fuel from Shell is the result of 100 years of experience, 120 scientists work and 21 000 hours a year of research. As the consumer of the fuel this does not really mean all that much to you but what you should know is this new V-Power Nitro+ fuel has been designed to have a positive effect on both diesel and petrol engines.
    In an unleaded vehicle, the fuel coats the piston and cylinder with a protective film to reduce friction as well as prevent and clean up deposits that can affect the performance of the engine. If you drive a Diesel vehicle then you can expect the new fuel to increase the cleanliness and protection of injectors.

    To demonstrate the performance aspect of the new fuel, Shell held a V-Power Nitro+ festival in Nasrec, Johannesburg. Not only did they have Ferrari’s latest road cars on display but they brought along a Formula 1 race car driven by their test driver, Marc Gene. For the petrol heads out there I think this is one of the best ways to drum up interest in a new product. There is nothing quite like the sound of a Formula 1 V8 tearing up a public street and knowing that the fuel going into your vehicle is nearly identical to what is powering that machine is one way to convince people to use it.

    Check out the video below of Shell’s strategy for this year.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
