    RENNtech Mercedes-AMG GT R Casually Packs 825 HP (615 kW)

    Having driven the Mercedes-AMG GT R I can confidently say that it is in no need of a power boost but German tuning shop known as RENNtech think otherwise.

    From the factory the track-honed ‘Beast of The Green Hell’ is gifted with 577 hp (430 kW) but with the upgrade package from RENNtech, your range-topping AMG GT can deliver anything fromย 612 to 825 hp (456 to 615 kW), depending on your configuration.

    The 825 horsepower (615 kw) option has been dubbed the AMG GT R825 for obvious reasons and this tune also means the 4.0-litre biturbo V8 turns out a whopping 850 Nm of torque.

    All that extra power comes courtesy of larger turbo, paired with a software upgrade, blow-off valves, and high-flow air filter, among others. Both the transmission and clutch have been reinforced to cope, of course.

    Externally RENNtech add some modest touches including a unique aero package, which was first shown at the Top Marques Monaco earlier in the year. The new look includes an aggressive front bumper with canards, sharper side splitters, and a special two-stage rear wing.

    The full package also includes a set of lightweight forged Vossen wheels, wrapped in some sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 ZP tyres.

    No word on pricing but you can bet the full 825 hp upgrade will sting the wallet properly.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesnโ€™t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
