    Five-Cylinder VW Golf R Spotted Testing At The Nürburgring

    Everyone is a little confused about the VW Golf R420 project that was axed and then supposedly revived but not much else has been said or seen since then, until now.

    A VW Golf R prototype was caught lapping the Nürburgring recently with Audi‘s 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder unit under the hood. How do we know this? Just push play and you will instantly recognise the sound we have got used to from the Audi RS3 range.

    Back to the R420 project for now because back when it surfaced, it was supposed to be the road-going interpretation of the Golf R400 concept. It was said to be axed due to the Dieselgate scandal but could this fresh video point to the projects revival or even a swansong for the current Golf generation?

    If VW has engineers continuing to run them around the ‘Ring, then there appears still to be some passion behind the project among folks at the automaker.

    If this is something special, the manufacturer does not have much time to introduce it considering the eighth generation of the Golf is set to enter production in June next year.

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

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • 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.
