    Ford Planning A More Hardcore Version Of The Focus RS

    According to Autocar, Ford Performance is “watching the reaction to the new Focus RS closely before signing off an even quicker limited-run special”

    Insiders have confirmed that an even more hardcore model is under consideration and it could potentially be the fastest-accelerating hatchback ever made. How will they do this you may ask? The improvement will come mainly from weight saving and upgrading the RS’s drivetrain. Budget constraints limited Ford’s weight-saving options for the standard RS so there is room for improvement on a more expensive version. Ford’s target for the bonkers RS will be to hit the 0 to 100 km/h mark quicker than the current benchmark of 4.2 seconds (Mercedes-AMG A45). If the potential is there to make the Focus the first hot hatch since the 2010 Subaru Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 to break the 4.0sec 0-62mph barrier, expect Ford to seize it.

    • 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.
