    The Lamborghini Asterion Concept Is A 900 HP Hybrid

    We were waiting to see what Lamborghini had in store for us at the Paris Motor Show and after a number of leaks, we have the official information and some live pictures of the car.

    The Lamborghini Asterion LPI910-4 has been built to demonstrate the technology that Lamborghini are capable of producing but it still looks very Lamborghini which is fantastic. It is not as edgy as the Huracan or Aventador but there are many aspects from both cars present on the Asterion. So what is special about this concept Lambo? To start, it is a hybrid and a very potent one at that. The rear wheels are powered by the 602 hp V10 from the Huracan, and the front wheels get three brushless electric motors producing 296 hp. This brings the total output of the hybrid to a Porsche 918 Spyder beating 898 hp.

    You can choose from three driving mode; ‘Z’ for zero local emission running, ‘I’ for Ibrido which is hybrid in Italian and then ‘T’ for Termico which means thermal power. Electric power can be directed purely to the front wheels but if you choose the hybrid mode, you will be able to hit 100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds. As expected the structure is a carbon fibre monocoque with carbon composite panels which is needed because the additional technology apparently weighs 250 kg. This car is awesome and even though it is only a design study, I really hope something comes of this.

    • 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.
