    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.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
