    New Porsche 911 991.2 GT3 RS Revealed

    At long last we get to see the 991.2 GT3 RS which forms the basis of the German car maker’s extensive GT-based motorsport activities.

    Public debut will happen in Geneva in March and this is what you need to know about the 2018 model year GT3 RS.

    • 15 kW (20 hp) bump in power to 383 kW (512 hp)
    • Lightly modified version of Porsche Motorsport’s race-bred 4.0-litre six-cylinder
    • Highest power figure yet for a naturally aspirated road-going Porsche
    • Continues to rev to a maximum 9000rpm
    • Comes mated to a standard seven-speed dual clutch gearbox
    • 0 to 100 km/h sprint reduced by 0.1 sec to 3.2 seconds
    • Top speed increased by 2 km/h to 312 km/h
    • Re-calibrated rear wheel steering system
    • Launch colour known as Lizard Green

    Visually his mid-life facelift can be distinguished thanks to some subtle styling and aerodynamic changes.

    They include new LED indicator lamps set within a re-profiled front bumper featuring new vertical air flow guides within the outer air ducts to more efficiently channel air to the front mounted radiators and brakes.

    Further back, the new 911 GT3 RS receives two new NACA style ducts within the bonnet and additional air-flow guides for the ducts within the rear fenders. At the rear, there are more heavily structured taillamps, a new bumper with larger air extraction ducts and modified supports for the rear wing, which feature newly shaped end plates.

    Inside, there are carbon backed racing seats, lightweight door panels with storage nets and nylon opening loops. Weight optimisation measures include a reduction in sound absorption material and a new lightweight engine lid.  

    As with all of Porsche’s existing GT models, the 911 GT3 RS is sold with an optional Clubsport package. It consists of an aluminium roll cage, fire extinguishers and six-point seat belts.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
