    Jaguar’s F-Type Project 7 Hits South African Streets

    Last week I attended the launch of the new Special Vehicle Operations baby from Jaguar. It is called the F-Type Project 7 and it is absolutely glorious to look at. It is a limited edition model which will see a global production run of just 250 units. We originally had 5 destined for South Africa but it may only turn out to be 4 due to certain circumstances. Price tag for this D-Type inspired is around the R3.1 million mark considering the Rand against the British Pound which is not exactly cheap but all 250 of these units will appreciate over time.

    Power comes from their 5.0-litre supercharged v8 pumping out 423kW (567hp) and 680Nm of torque which allows the all-alluminium-bodied car to hit 100km/h from standstill in just 3.9 seconds. Power goes to the rear wheels via an eight-speed transmission and you get carbon ceramic brakes fitted as standard. You know you are looking at something a little bit more special than usual thanks to the bespoke carbon fibre aero pieces and Project 7 livery. I really hope these cars are driven and not stored in a collection as they have to be seen in the ‘metal’. Thanks to Marc Rudman Photography for the pictures, I think it’s fair to say he did an epic job considering the annoying ropes surrounding the car.

    • 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesnโ€™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.
