    New Honda Civic Type R Arrives In South Africa Detuned

    Yesterday was the official launch of the new Honda Civic Type R in South Africa and although I was not attending I will be getting it on test in the near future.

    This version known as the FK8 was revealed with it’s radical styling last year at the Geneva Motor Show with it’s 2.0-litre turbocharged VTEC engine delivering a peak power of 315 hp (235 kW) and 400 Nm of torque. Only it does not produce that in South Africa as we have been told that the units headed for our shores will be detuned to produce 305 hp (228 kW).

    This is actually the same output as the outgoing FK2 Civic Type R so generally speaking the performance will be nearly identical.

    So what will the current front-wheel-drive lap record holder of the Nürburgring Nordschleife set you back in SA? The final pricing from Honda South Africa comes in at R627,900 making it about R12,000 more expensive than the outgoing model.

    • 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.
