    Infographic: The Evolution of the 250+ MPH Supercar

    Auto enthusiasts marvel at the performance of modern supercars like the Bugatti Veyron or McLaren F1, but every modern supercar pays homage to the same heritage. Without their predecessors, these amazing cars would’ve never come to be. And it’s the world’s first supercar to which we owe the most gratitude, the Bentley Speed Six.

    Here are two of the most fascinating facts about the Bentley Speed Six

    The Ford Effect
    The Bentley Speed Six boasted a top speed of roughly 80 miles per hour in the late 20s. That might not seem like much when compared to the advanced, modern cars of today, but there’s one little fact that shows just how incredible it really is.

    In 1909, the Ford Model T, the first mass produced automobile in America, was capable of reaching 40 or so miles per hour without too much trouble – an impressive feat for the time period. Less than two decades later, the Bentley Speed Six doubled that top speed. That’s a true marvel.

    All the Marbles
    Despite the fact that Bentley has released many successful cars since the Bentley Speed Six, none have come close to beating its racing record. The Speed Six won both the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Brooklands Double 12, among other prestigious races. It’s the most successful Bentley model in history.

    • 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?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
