    There is tons to see at this year’s Top Gear Festival, but the great news is that there is even more to DO at South Africa’s most loved motoring event in 2014.  The best car manufacturers in South Africa are pulling out all the stops to ensure that visitors not only catch a glimpse of some cars debuting for the first time but festival-goers can also expect to test-drive exciting new features, take part in exhilarating test drives, experience driving demonstrations by highly qualified instructors and much, much more!

    This year, the Mercedes-Benz AMG marquee is a must-be-visited destination to catch a glimpse of the latest in high performance technology as well as the highlight of the Festival: the launch of the newest addition to the Mercedes-Benz family, the S63 AMG Coupe – unveiled for the first time in Africa!   AMG stands for ‘Driving Performance’ and what better way to showcase what these incredible vehicles can do than to launch the Mercedes-Benz AMG Demo Theatre in Top Gear Festival’s Action Zone.   Here, visitors can expect to see AND feel the thrill and excitement when the CLA 45 AMG is put through its paces.  Top Gear fans will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to learn from the best when professional racecar drivers at AMG’s Driving Academy take guests for a spin around the Gymkhana while showcasing the strongest 4-cylinder series engine in the world!

    The interactive additions to this year’s festival continue with Ford South Africa who are putting together three very impressive activation and display areas at this year’s Top Gear Festival.  Ford is using its presence to showcase the brand’s renowned and respected performance vehicles, while also allowing visitors to the show the opportunity to experience its growing number of smart in-car technologies first hand.

    The prime activation area, located at in People’s Park will feature all things performance-oriented from Ford Racing PlayStation consoles to the full ST family of vehicles. Visitors interested in experiencing the vehicles can visit the experiential zone where technologies like Active Park Assist and SYNC® will be on show. And for those keen to get behind the wheel, test-drives of the award-winning Fiesta ST and Focus ST will be available on a purpose-built track at the show featured in the Action Zone.
    It’s launches aplenty at Top Gear Festival Durban 2014 and this time it’s the turn of the INFINITI Q50 that is making its debut.  By signing up to visit the Festival this year, not only will you be one of the first few people in South Africa to catch a glimpse of this stylish piece of machinery, but you could also be one of the first people in the country to drive this landmark sports sedan.
    Last but not least in the launch stakes is the all-new Jaguar F-TYPE Coupé, which also makes its debut at this year’s Top Gear Festival. Pegged as the most dynamically capable, performance-focused, production Jaguar ever, this seems the perfect setting to unleash this new range.  The model line-up is headlined by the F-TYPE R Coupé, its 680Nm 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine enabling acceleration from 0-100km/h in 4.3-seconds, and a top speed of 300km/h.  Visitors are encouraged to be on this look out for the impressive Jaguar display when prowling the festival.

    Finally, what South African Motoring Festival would be complete without an off-road encounter and who better to offer this than the Land Rover Experience (LRE) Team.  Visitors to Top Gear Festival can join them in the Action Zone to enjoy the Land Rover Terrain Trailer and Mini-Terrapod experiences.  Not only can you check out the latest Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE, Discovery 4 SDV6 SE 14 and a very cool Defender 90, but also visitors to the Top Gear Festival will be able to drive each of these vehicles around the mobile off-road course under the supervision of an internationally qualified LRE Instructor.

    • 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.
