    Ferrari Mulling Over 250 GTO Continuation Series

    Jaguar kicked off the idea where automakers revive their rare models with their lightweight E-Type and the six unit ‘run’ was instantly sold out. Their next project was nine examples of the XKSS and now they are making 25 ‘new’ units of the D-Type.

    After seeing this success at Jag, Aston Martin built 25 units of the DB4 GT which all sold for a price of $1.9 million.

    Could Ferrari be following in their footsteps too with a 250 GTO continuation series?

    Given the demand among wealthy buyers for the brand’s other limited-run vehicles, there’s little doubt that Ferrari would find customers for the entire production run.

    “What Jaguar has done with the lightweight cars is clever, but reinventing the 250 is a tough gig, and living off the spoils of the past is a bad habit to get into,” Ferrari boss Sergio Marchionne said during the Geneva Motor Show, according to Top Gear. “But there’s definitely a platform there, and hopefully we can show you something in the next few years.”

    Only 39 units of the 250 GTO were built specifically to excel at racing, but the vehicles were technically road legal. The company built each one by hand, and there were often tiny design tweaks between cars.

    So if they did decide to go ahead with this, they would most certainly need to differentiate between the original creations and the continuation cars so as to not impact the value of the authentic examples.

    • 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.
