    The Upcoming BMW M5 Will Pack 600 Horses And Four-Wheel Drive

    Ok so the BMW M5 has been a rear-wheel drive car for a whopping 32 years now but the Bavarian giant is about to change things up. The new BMW M5 is due this year and will arrive standard with all-wheel drive and a boat load of power!

    The super-saloon is set to run a reworked version of the outgoing fifth-generation model’s twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, producing upwards of 592 hp, along with a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox. Senior officials at BMW are claiming that not only is it the fastest accelerating model but also the most powerful M5 yet. So what are some of the juicy details on this highly anticipated machine?

    • Re-engineered body structure with a number of weight-saving initiatives
    • Possibly weigh close to the 1870kg of its predecessor despite inclusion of four-wheel drive
    • Eight-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox
    • M Dynamic mode delivers 100% of drive to the rear wheels
    • It should at least match the 3.5 second sprint time of the new E63 S
    This is one car that I am truly excited about!

    • 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.
