    Lewis Hamilton’s Car Collection

    Being a very successful Formula 1 driver certainly has it’s perks. One of them is you make a ton of money and another is you get invited to purchase some truly special cars.

    Lewis Hamilton not only has taken up some of these invitations but is so pedantic about his collection that he uses a tow truck to move them around to keep mileage as low as possible.

    Hamilton’s net worth of just over $207 million makes him one of the richest sports figures in the UK, just behind David Beckham and in a recent interview with The Sunday Times, he shed some light on his personal car collection.

    His first car was a Mini Cooper followed by a Mercedes-Benz C200 but as you can imagine, those are long gone and have been replaced with what we like to call upgrades;

    • Pair of original Shelby Cobra’s
    • 1967 Shelby GT500
    • Ferrari 599 SA Aperta
    • Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series
    • Two LaFerrari’s (red Coupe and white Aperta)
    • McLaren P1
    • Pagani Zonda 760 LH
    • Mercedes-AMG Project One (on the way)

    All in all he has about 15 cars split between his home in Los Angeles and Monaco.

    He also said to the British newspaper that “The Zonda is terrible to drive” and although “It’s the best sounding car I own, but handling wise it’s the worst. I got it in manual because I didn’t like tiptronic version. The tiptronic Pagani offered was worse than the Smart Roadster I had.” He didn’t only slate the Pagani as he also said his Shelby is a “beautiful car, but a heap of junk.”

    For cars like the LaFerrari duo he has a tow truck on a retainer in LA to keep the mileage down (and valuations up) so when he is finished driving one of his exotics, he’ll have the car towed back to his place.

    In future he would like to own a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL and a Ferrari 250GT California Spyder.

    • 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.
