    Bloodhound SSC Land Speed Record Delayed By A Year

    Why is this big news? Well firstly they want to go over 1,600km/h in a ‘car’ and this attempt will take place in our very own country, South Africa.

    The attempt was originally scheduled for October this year but it has unfortunately been pushed to the second half of 2018. Why the delay? Well according to a report from MotorAuthority, the delay is primarily due to longer than expected dealings with corporate sponsors, though there have also been changes made to the design of the car’s rocket propulsion system to increase power.

    The current land speed record is the 763 mph (1,227km/h) set by fighter pilot Andy Green in 1997 behind the wheel of the Thrust SSC. Green will also pilot the Bloodhound SSC where he will attempt to smash this record on a dry lake bed in South Africa’s Kalahari Desert.

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
