    A Set Of Jaguar XJ220 Tyres Costs Over R100,000

    Having had its name in the history books as the fastest production car in the early 1990s, the Jaguar XJ220 remains an icon, and with the history and status that this British legend boasts, it’s quite expected that it will drill a hole in your pocket if you happen to own one. Still, we were shocked to find that just a set of its tyres comes with a price tag in excess of R100,000!

    Yes, Bugatti Veyron rubbers are listed at a mind blowing $17,000 (approx. R238,680). Nonetheless, at around $7,621 (approx. R107k) for four tyres to be fitted on Jaguar’s classic hypercar seem to be mighty all the same with those of the Bugatti as spending this kind of money on rubber seems quite peculiar, to us mere mortals at least.

    The astonishing news comes from British publication 5054 which recently tweeted a photo of a set of tyres for the Jaguar XJ220. Not only was this worth sharing because of the price, but also because of the fact that the Jag’s parts are very rare as the manufacturer stopped producing parts of the 26 year old car a while ago.

    Although the publication did not specify the brand of the tyres, Bridgestone and Pirelli vowed to continue producing tyres for the Jaguar XJ220 which measure 255/45 ZR17 at the front and 345/35 ZR18 at the rear – a fairly large set of rubber.

    To keep this type of car running under your ownership is obviously no child’s play, but as outlandish as it sounds for us, the cost of new tyres for a Jaguar XJ220 is probably spare change for the average owner.

    • 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.
