    Next-Gen Mercedes-AMG SL To Get 73 Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain

    The Mercedes SL class has always been on of their sexiest designs but with each generation it has gotten fatter, comfier, and more grand touring-like.

    Recently Automobile Mag managed to get the lowdown on the successor of the R231 (current generation) which in Mercedes-AMG guise will go on sale in 2021. According to the cited publication, the SL will go soft top and drop a few pounds thanks to the aluminum-intensive platform. A couple of rear seats are also envisioned as a means to make the SL a bit more practical.

    The most important and credible information on the all-new SL is the part that reads “being engineered in sync with the next-gen versions of the GT.” With Tobias Moers in chrage, there is no denying the future SL will be a far more focused machine than the land yacht of today.

    “According to an engineer familiar with the matter,” the motoring magazine highlights four engine options worth looking forward to, starting with the 3.0-litre inline-six SL 43. Then comes the 53 and 63, which just like the 43, would use 48-volt mild hybridization.

    As for the range-topping version, the Mercedes-AMG SL 73 PHEV should come with a “4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 612 hp, plus an e-motor rated at 204 hp for a total of more than 800 hp and 1000 Nm of torque.”

    • 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.
