    Nissan Sending Menacing BB GT-R To Conquer The Hill In Knysna

    The seriously angry looking machine on the left is called the Nissan BB GT-R (Nissan South Africa and BB Group) and it is among no less than 12 Nissan’s competing in the various production, modified and supercar classes at the 2017 Jaguar Simola Hill Climb.

    Among the registered cars sits the 1800+ horsepower R32 GT-R of Desmond Gutzeit and for the first time a wide body R35 Liberty Walk GT-R.

    The 1000+ horsepower BB GT-R will be driven by Nissan Competitive Vehicle Assessment Specialist Wilhelm Baard and will enter in class B2 for 4WD six cylinder cars with forced induction. The team has managed to extract so much more power and handling from the engine and chassis that they have informally renamed this car “Armageddon” from last year’s “Godzilla”.

    “This car has seen its most major overhaul to date,” says Baard of the 2014 GT-R with which he raced in 2016 and which he is bringing back to Simola this year. “While we are still tweaking the engine performance and handling, we can confidently say that this R35 model will have far more than 1 000 horsepower (745 kW) and 1 400 Nm of torque.”

    Some major improvements include a 300kg weight loss which when paired with an extra rear diffuser, a different air management system and new rear wing will enhance its high-speed aerodynamics as it seeks to conquer the hill in under 40 seconds.

    Jaki Schekter (pictured right) will be piloting a new standard Nissan GT-R up the hill too.

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

    • #WideWednesday showing off this bold Urus sporting the Novitec Esteso widebody and aero kit done by @race1_ 

It also packs a full Supersprint exhaust so you will certainly hear it before you see it coming.
