    Aston Martin Might Use Six-Cylinder AMG Engine

    A recent report from Wheelsmag suggests that Aston Martin is considering dropping Mercedes-AMG’s 3.0-litre straight-six engine into one of their cars.

    “With emissions regulations going where they’re going and getting harder and harder, we have to consider all powertrain options, and we are considering six-cylinders for the future. Previous Astons have had six cylinders – a long time ago – but I think with CLS 53, the engine that has is a very complicated and clever engine and it’s something that could fit with the brand in the future.” said Aston Martin’s chief engineer Matt Becker.

    At this stage it is not known which model will get the six-pot but the most obvious choice would be their most accessible model, the Vantage.

    During the conversion, Becker also confirmed the new Vantage’s engine bay is big enough to fit a V12 so could we see another V12 flagship Vantage in the future?

    Should they decide to fit a 3.0-litre straight-six at some stage, it will be the first one in an Aston since the DB7 of 1998.

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

    • 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.
