    How To Get The Performance Car You Want

    Performance vehicles are often the cars of our dreams. They’re the ones we had stuck on our walls as a child, and the ones we grew up idolising. Sometimes we outgrow them. Moods, styles, and ultimately finances change, but ultimately, if you’re into performance cars, you’re into them for life. So, with this in mind, how do you afford one? Well, here are three simple options.

    Going Old Fashioned 
    Boring, plain and simple. Going old fashioned means doing things the old fashioned way, and that involves no financing, loans or borrowing: just saving, saving, saving.
    This may be the most boring (and probably the longest) way of getting yourself a performance car, but it is also relatively risk free, and it ultimately means you’ll be able to afford what you buy.
    There is one thing you need, however, self-motivation. If you plan properly, you will succeed. However, as we all know, it is far too easy to dip into a savings account every now and then, and if you do this, it’ll take you forever to save. But, if you plan properly, you’ll save quickly, reaping the financial and motoring rewards.

    Working Your Way Up 
    The second option, as a bit of a half-way house, is to work your way up to owning a performance vehicle, either by constantly improving your car every time you buy, or by purchasing a car that you can modify. As the first of these options is rather obvious, we will focus on the second.
    There are a number of great cars available that you can modify, ranging from the Seat Leon to the Ford Focus. So, find a cheap, used car online and then, if you have the mechanical ability, you can slowly improve it over time, turning it into a car that will be just as fast as the car of your dreams.
    There are countless internet forums devoted entirely to the subject, so finding a car that you have the ability to modify cheaply and easily should be straightforward.

    Taking a Leased Approach 
    Finally, if you’re in more of a rush and have a large enough deposit, you can lease a performance vehicle from somewhere like Select Contracts.
    Although there is a larger financial implication here, you do get the result you want sooner, without the even larger implication of buying outright in one large sum. Plus, it is a great option for those who don’t have the engineering background to be able to modify and tune.

    So, there we have it, three ways that you can get the performance car you want.

    • 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.
