    Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series Gets Sexy Carbon Wheels

    Thanks to the Porsche Turbo S Exclusive Series, we get our first look at a new lightweight braided carbon fibre wheel developed in house by the German manufacturer.

    They will be made available as an option next year with a cost of $17,884 (around R240,000) and are made entirely from the magic material bringing each wheels weight down by 8.5kg from the standard offering. This is a 20% reduction and at the same time they are 20% stronger.

    Each wheel is crafted from a crazy 18km of carbon fibre and is made up of two components. The center, made from carbon fabric, and the base, made from braided carbon fibre, by what Porsche claims to be “the world’s largest carbon fiber braiding machine, with a diameter of approximately nine meters”.

    Thanks to the epic video below, we get to see the phenomenal creation of this high-tech piece of kit.

    “Porsche is the first company in the global automotive industry to use this extremely complex technology”, explains the automaker. “The braiding technology offers key advantages over the more conventional method of manufacturing pre-impregnated carbon-fiber fabric: This production technique makes the material structure of the carbon considerably denser and more compact. This increases rigidity. Using the material more efficiently also produces less waste.”

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • 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.
