    Bowler Teases Defender-Based Road Car With Angry V8 Soundtrack

    British car specialist, Bowler, fame for building off-road racers based on Land Rover products has released a teaser video of a road-going Defender-based SUV ahead of its official launch in October this year.

    Although the video does not reveal much and very little information has been let out, the footage does pack quite an intimidating V8 rumble in form of a ‘start-up-and-rev’ soundtrack. Moreover, the company has promised more videos like this counting down to the Bowler’s debut.

    From the video, we can pick up that the new car features a similar front end to that of the Bowler Bulldog that arrived in 2016. The company also confirms that the car will be using the same underpinnings called the Cross Sector Platform – an in-house sourced, rugged, lightweight aluminium rolling chassis that allows for installation of modular component setups and a range of powertrains.

    While the 2016 Bulldog is equipped with a regular 4×4 configuration and power is sourced from Land Rover derived turbocharged diesel and supercharged petrol V6 engines, the company has hinted at a possible 6×6 prototype built on the same CSP chassis.

    Although very modest information about this new car has been released, the Bowler products such as the Bulldog, Wildcat and Nemesis to name a few, that we have seen in the past, give us confident that the specialist car-builder is cooking up quite a desirable dish for fans of such creations.

    • 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.
