    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 from 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.

    • 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.
