    Six-Cylinder Mercedes-AMG GT Spotted

    With Mercedes-AMG working on a mid-cycle update for its GT sports car, there are now rumours that the range-topping GT R model is to get a “Clubsport” package of some sort. At the bottom end of the range though, we could see an entry-level six-cylinder model.

    We have seen earlier prototypes of the GT sporting typical AMG rectangle-shaped exhaust tips. However, a more recent prototype features round quad pipes – raising suspicion that Mercedes-AMG could be cooking up a six-cylinder variant as we have seen with the Mercedes-AMG C43, CLS53, as well as the recently revealed GT43 4-door coupe.

    If these suspicions are correct, the entry-level AMG GT will be powered by the marque’s new turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six engine which in 43 guise delivers 362 hp (270 kW) and 490 Nm of torque. Should Mercedes-AMG decide to slap the sports car with a 53 badge, we can expect it to produce 429 hp (320 kW) and 520 Nm. However, we shouldn’t rule out possibility of engineers squeezing out more power to replace the 4.0-litre biturbo V8 found in the current entry-level spec producing 469 hp (350 kW).

    Anticipation of a new variant introducing a new engine in the AMG GT line-up may bring some excitement, but the brand could also be merely exploring new ways of differentiating between derivatives of these models. With the current model range sporting rectangle exhaust tips throughout the range, perhaps round pipes are just a new way to mark the GT aside from sportier GT S and GT C models, albeit with the same engine.

    Mercedes-AMG is expected to launch an updated GT before the second half of 2019. Until then, we’ll be waiting to get further details of the new car, as well as more wraps being taken off of the flagship Black Series model set to debut in 2020.

    • 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.
