    Introducing The World’s Coolest Ford Transit

    Modified vans are fun. From Scooby Doo’s mystery machine to the A-Team’s supercharged GMC Vandura everyone enjoys a tricked out ride. The Ford Transit is no exception and has seen its fair share of special editions since it was first introduced to the world in 1965. Now to celebrate the Transit van’s 50th birthday a new edition has been launched by commercial vehicle modifying specialists, M-Sport.

    You may think that vans aren’t known for their racing pedigree, but it could be argued that the humble Ford Transit has contributed more to motorsport than some racing cars. Holding its own and standing the test of time, the Transit paved the way for all similar commercial vehicles that came in its wake. It was the first van to narrow the gap between how vans and cars drove, with a well-balanced chassis and a 3.0 litre V6 motor, it was alarmingly adept at holding its own in general traffic.

    Revving up this long history of quality commercial vehicles is the Ford Transit M-Sport. Replicating the appearance of M-Sport’s Ford Fiesta RS World Rally Car (WRC), the special edition Transit – created by Van Sport – comes complete with a WRC-inspired bodykit and hand-crafted leather interior.

    Eibach lowered suspension and OZ racing wheels with 18ins Michelin tyres highlight links to the World Rally Team, while a remodelled steering wheel with M-Sport branded dials and floor mats add finishing touches. A custom 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine under the hood and a new exhaust system – integrated into the rear bumper – completes the look alongside a striking roof spoiler.

    A unique numbered plate identifies the limited edition status of the vehicle and an exclusive range of M-Sport branding options allow buyers to specify how they would like the vehicle to look.

    Malcolm Wilson OBE, managing director of M-Sport at Dovenby Hall, near Cockermouth, said: “This is a fantastic project which we are all extremely proud to be involved in.

    “Combining Ford’s driving dynamics and the Transit’s versatility with Van Sport’s ingenuity and style, this product complements the M-Sport brand which is all about quality, performance and flair.”

    As a multiple winner of the International Van of the Year award, the Ford Transit is a proven success. Aimed at those in the professional sector, this limited edition product combines Ford’s fantastic driving dynamics with the excitement of M-Sport’s FIA World Rally Championship campaign – creating a thrilling new edition to the family.

    Some people may think that ‘white van men’ drive like rally drivers, which isn’t entirely true – check out this report for proof. With all the custom options for car drivers out there, it’s about time the hard working people driving for a living got their chance to drive something fit for the Nürburgring. For those who like to play it safe you can opt for Van insurance from constructaquote.

    • 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.
