    AC Schnitzer BMW 8 Series Coupe Looks Furious

    If you are popping into the 2018 Essen Motor show, you will be among the first to see the new AC Schnitzer take on the new BMW 8 Series Coupe.

    If you felt like the 8 Series Coupe needed a few extra aero elements, the tuner has answered you in a big way.

    All the aerodynamic components have been developed for maximum downforce and balance, and will be manufactured in super-light carbon in later production. On the show car, some of the components are made from fibre glass.

    When ready for production, you will be able to spec carbon front spoiler elements, a matching front splitter, carbon side wings, and carbon covers for the vents. At the rear, downforce is provided by the carbon ‘Racing’ wing and the carbon diffuser, while a set of carbon side skirts is also present to connect the front and rear of the car.

    You can also fit a suspension spring kit, lowering the 8-Series’ by approximately 20-25 mm at the front and 10-15 mm at the rear.

    They are also busy with performance upgrades for both the M850i xDrive and 840d xDrive. The former will now put out 591 hp (440 kW) instead of the standard 523 hp (390 kW) together with an extra 100 Nm of torque, for a peak figure of 850 Nm. Meanwhile, the diesel-powered model will see its output grow from 315 hp (235 kW) and 680 Nm to 374 hp (279 kW) and 780 Nm.

    What is your take on the fairly drastic package?

    • 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.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦 

Nothing confirmed by Toyota SA as of yet but here is the 224 kW GR Corolla!

    • 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.
