    ABT’s Audi RS6-E Packs 1,018 HP (760 kW) Of Hybrid Power

    Ladies and gents, this is the ABT Audi RS6-E which packs a whopping 1,018 hp (760 kW) thanks to some electrification motivation.

    ABT confirm that their first hyper-hybrid will sprint to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds which is not mind-blowing in today’s world but remember this is a truly large estate car with room for families and lots of luggage. When you think about it like that, this is properly bonkers fast!

    So what makes up the 1,018 horses? For starters, the boosted 4.0-litre V8 contributes 730 hp (544 kW) to the mix, which by itself would be plenty for the average Joe. The E part of the equation comes in the form of a single electric motor that’s installed in the Audi’s transmission tunnel, which sends an additional 288 hp (215 kW) to the rear wheels.

    All this power is not permanently on tap because ABT installed a Magic Button (see shots below) to activate the electric motor and unleash the full hybrid potential. There is a catch though because you can only press this lightning bolt button over 100 km/h as the RS6 simply can’t handle full power from a stand still.

    So ABT have you convinced? Well you can’t buy one (for now) as it is only a prototype but we know money talks and some customer may do enough convincing and coax the tuner to build a unit for them.

    • 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.
