    Jaguar Land Rover Are Ditching Their Delicious V8

    A new report from UK-based publication Autocar is fairly hard to digest because they are saying the visceral V8 engine from Jaguar Land Rover is about to be dropped from the line up.

    The publication are reporting that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has begun a massive programme of investment in new models that will enable the company to expand its line-up by four new or returning nameplates by 2023, launch 99 new model variants and replace every current model by 2024. The worst part about this is that ALL new models will be powered by one of three base Ingenium engines, including a new three-pot unit and a new straight six.

    “Electrically powered turbochargers (which improve both economy and throttle response) will be standard on future petrol and diesel engines, allowing a downsizing of JLR’s engine range. V8 engines will be dropped and replaced by high-performance versions of the new Ingenium straight six.”

    The report goes on to mention which models we will see first (so hit the link below) but we are still busy mourning the fact that the unnecessarily loud V8 is on it’s way out.

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

    • #WideWednesday showing off this bold Urus sporting the Novitec Esteso widebody and aero kit done by @race1_ 

It also packs a full Supersprint exhaust so you will certainly hear it before you see it coming.

    • Possibly the first privately-owned Mercedes-AMG GT3 in South Africa showed up at Dezzi Raceway in KZN for its first local drive.
