    The Porsche 911 DLS by Singer and Williams Will Set You Back At Least R24 Million

    Four years ago the development of this re-imagined Porsche 911 by Singer and Williams began and just before the Goodwood Festival of Speed began last month, it was completed.

    It has been dubbed the Dynamics and Lightweighting Study, (DLS) and the the aim of the project was to create a no-expense-spared air-cooled 911 with the best modern technologies in a classic body.

    Singer are only intending to build 75 units at an astonishing $1.8 million (approx. R24 million) a pop but we all know when these are sold out, someone with deep enough pockets will convince them to make a different variant of sorts.

    The most desirable (and certainly most important) aspect of this creation is of course the engine which has been developed by Williams with help from legendary Porsche engineer Hans Mezger. It is a four-valve, four-camshaft, naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six delivering a substantial 500 hp and it will rev to 9000 rpm (watch video below with earphones).

    So that powerplant does not come cheap but what makes up the massive price tag? Well you also get revised suspension and bespoke Brembo brakes with carbon ceramic discs that use the same compound as those found on the Bugatti Chiron. Michelin agreed to make a bespoke 295 Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyre, stretched a little to give the perfect curve on the side wall, Momo made bespoke carbon steering wheel, Recaro delivered on the seats, and BBS crafted perhaps the most striking feature of all, those deep-dish 18-inch wheels.

    Rob Dickson, the man behind the design is confident it will become even more valuable in the future and with regards to the price he says “That’s as cheap as we can do it for the madness that’s gone into it. Trust me, no one’s getting rich making these things for what it’s worth. I think the world is a better place for nut jobs like us to be around doing this, and there are of course other great companies having a go as well.”

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • 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.
