    Yes you are reading correctly and since it is not the first of April you can bet your bottom dollar that this is real.

    Introducing the 113 horsepower Up GTi powered by a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine. If you know your GTi’s, you will know that this junior hot hatch packs more power than the very first Golf GTi. So what do you need to know?

    • Starting price expected to be around £15,000 and going on sale early next year
    • Taking aim at the likes of the Fiat 500 Abarth
    • Kerb weight of 997kg means power-to-weight ratio of 113.3bhp/tonne
    • Sound actuator provides a synthetically generated exhaust note
    • Volkswagen claims a 0-100 km/h time of 8.8sec and a top speed of 196 km/h
    • Retuned MacPherson strut (front) and torsion beam (rear) suspension with unique spring and damper rates
    • 15mm reduction in ride height over existing Up models
    • Classic GTi cues used for styling upgrades
    • There will also be a five-door Up GTi available at some stage
    • Five colours to choose from: Tornado Red, Pure White, Dark Silver, Black Pearl and Costa Azul (new)
    • Inside you get a “red pixel” trim within the dashboard
    • Multi-function flat bottom steering wheel with the red stitching

    What are your thoughts on this micro GTi? Worth it or waste of time?

    • 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.
