    The Third-Generation Of The Ariel Atom Is The 3S

    When you think about one of the hardest accelerating machines money can buy not many people would look past Ariel and their bonkers Atom well the family has grown with their Atom 3S.

    It is their third-generation track toy and the car has been given a 2.4-litre Honda engine capable of producing 365 horses. This is still crazy considering you are essentially driving around in a beefed up go-kart but it is not as bonkers as the 500 horsepower V8 model which actually scared customers away. It gets a new five-stage traction control system which can be adjusted from the cockpit, F1-style pushrod suspension, LCD cockpit display, full glass windscreen and then you will be able to choose between three transmissions; standard, close ratio or a new Sadev six-speed sequential gearbox.


    What this means is that you will be able to hit 100 km/h in a shade over 2.8 seconds and as you can see in the video below, it can cover the Virginia International Raceway in 1:58 making it as quick as a Formula Ford single-seater. This car excites me a lot and I wonder if I will ever get the chance to drive one.

    • 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.
