    In the motoring world, there are three big events you keep in the calendar. One of them is the New York Auto Show. It’s the last chance in the year for car manufacturers to unveil their future vehicles. Sure, it doesn’t have the same power as the Geneva Motor Show. It’s not as big as Detroit, but it’s still a firm fixture in the calendar. This year was no different with the likes of McLaren, Porsche and Jaguar saving the best for last!

    It’s a chance to see what our favourite car manufacturers have been tinkering away at for the last twelve months. It’s a chance to see what will be on our roads in the coming year. And boy were we in for a treat when we turned up last week. Here is our quick roundup of the very best of the New York Auto Show.

    McLaren 570S – McLaren have been busy pumping out one of the best new sports cars in the world. The McLaren P1 has been the talk of the motoring world as hybrid supercars take center stage. However, that’s not all McLaren have been working on. They’ve been keeping this one quiet, but it’s finally here. The 570S has clearly been introduced as a competitor for the Audi R8 and Porsche 911 Turbo. The 3.8 litre V8 will do 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. Essentially, they’ve put the reins on 650S and made it more accessible in the lower price range.

    Honda Civic Coupe – The Honda Civic is an important car. In the hot hatchback market, the VW Golf GTi and the Ford Focus ST have ruled unchallenged for years. Only the Honda Civic Type R has ever provided competition. As a result, the impressive Civic is still one of the most popular cars on carbase.biz. This year the Type R is back to enormous fanfare. The Coupe unveiled in New York is a more beautiful, more powerful addition to the range. We love it.

    Jaguar XF – There has been a lot of talk about the XF and we were so happy to finally see it unleashed. Jaguar have been trimming away at its weight thanks to a 75% aluminium chassis. They’ve kept the Jaguar 2.0 litre V8 engine we all know and love. Yet this lighter weight has unlocked more speed, more response and a more exciting drive. Look for this one hitting the roads later in the year.

    Porsche Boxster Spyder – This might just be the hit of the show. The new Boxster will be the fastest one yet. Its focus is set squarely on the driving experience. There are no frills here. Just simple, passionate and precise engineering. The engine is faultless with a 3.8 litre driving Porsche’s fantastic new model.

    Lexus RX – Lexus’ new SUV demanded to be seen at New York. It stood proudly with a fierce and ferocious new grill snarling at passers by. Despite its aggressive exterior, the car is a revelation in new safety technology. When it hits the market, it will be one of the best and safest family cars in the world.

    Until next time!

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Welcome the Mercedes-AMG EQE 43 4MATIC to SA 🇿🇦

Front and rear motors delivering 350 kW and 858 Nm of torque for a 100km/h sprint in 4.2s and a WLTP range of up to 535km.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
