    Lotus 3-Eleven Just Beat Porsche 918 Around Hockenheimring

    There is a new king at the Hockenheimring short circuit and it goes by the name of the Lotus 3-Eleven. According to Sport Auto, the fastest series production Lotus lapped the track in 1.06,2 min, beating the insane Porsche 918 Spyder by 0.1 seconds. What makes this achievement even more impressive is that the 3-Eleven was sitting on set of standard road tyres and it was a cold day. “Christian set a fabulous lap in less than ideal conditions,” said Jean-Marc Gales, Lotus CEO. “We knew from the outset that we have created a simply phenomenal car that is capable of great things, and this lap record proves that beyond doubt. This is the ultimate embodiment of the Lotus design philosophy”. The 3-Eleven is powered by a revised supercharged 3.5-litre V6 engine which now makes 460hp, making the 3-Eleven capable of a 3.0 second 0 to 100km/h run and a maximum speed of 290km/h. Just watch the video below and you will see how rapid this thing is around the circuit. It sounds pretty damn good too!

    • 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 πŸ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’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.
