    Rolls-Royce Cullinan Might Get A Hybrid Powertrain Punching Over 563 HP (420 KW)

    Early this year, Rolls-Royce launched its first-ever SUV set to rival the Bentley Bentayga when production kicks off in 2019. Named after a diamond discovered in South Africa back in 1905, the Cullinan will be one of the most expensive off-roader’s and according to Top Gear, we can expect it to take up a hybrid powertrain.

    The current range-topping V12 produces 563 hp (420 kW) and 850 Nm and although specs of the hybrid powertrain are still under wraps, electric motors should enhance the 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 to punch well over its current rating. While electric boost should shorten the 0 to 100 km/h time, the electronic top-speed limiter is still likely to kick in at 250 km/h.

    Rolls-Royce has decided to join the electrification movement not only to comply with today’s regulations, but also to save its V12 engine for as long as legally possible. The BMW-owned company is also considering joining in yet another foreign market with a smaller SUV, we can expect this plan to be executed in a few more years to come.

    Additionally, Rolls-Royce is also reported to have plans of expanding with a new model that will sit above the Phantom while sharing the same aluminium underpinnings. The Cullinan meanwhile, is predicted to stay in the market for as long as 14 years with occasional updates.

    • 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.
