    What To Be Aware of Before Owning A Supercar

    Deciding to own a supercar is a hefty decision. Not only will it be a big lifestyle choice, it will be a very big investment financially. This all comes long before you have decided on what car to purchase! If you are starting to think about joining the elite and owning a supercar, consider the below points.

    • It will be very powerful

    Many supercar owners will not be aware of the level of power possible with their purchase. The frustrating fact is that there will likely be very few occasions where you will actually be able to use the power your supercar has to its full potential: main roads and highways are not the place. The amount of power can also be risky: should you mishandle or misjudge the amount of power, you could lose control and be involved in a very costly accident. You could also find this a very frustrating scenario, being in a very powerful expensive car, and not being able to go anywhere! One of the best supercars available today have horsepower of up to 710 bhp (brake horsepower).  

    • It will be expensive

    Of course, as well as having a hefty price tag, your car could also have very hefty costs when it comes to repairs and damage. This also includes any damage caused by being in an accident, even if you weren’t the cause. Should you be involved in an accident, you could find costs to rise depending on the severity of the incident. As you are driving a very powerful car capable of high speeds, risk of injury if you are involved in an accident can be higher than if you were driving a regular vehicle.

    Making sure you take precautions and drive sensibly within the speed limit at all times is advised. However, sometimes this may not be enough. Should you find yourself involved in an incident, seek help from professionals who can help you get what you deserve. This injury law firm in Tampa Florida offers help with every process, from investigating a claim to going to trial. Keep costs downs and be in the know.  

    • Be aware of the ‘Supercar Status’  

    Owning a supercar is not all doom and gloom; you will have a beautiful car of your dreams, making you stand out and get to whatever destination you want to in style and comfort. What’s more, the driving experience will be second to none. However, with all this excitement comes the responsibility of owning a supercar. Expect photos to be taken, expect to be asked questions, and be aware of the fact you are going to draw attention to yourself. This also means your car will be more susceptible to theft than the average car. If possible, keep your car in a garage overnight, and always try and park it in a safe, well-lit space with security cameras when out and about. People may talk to you when you stop for gas and you will likely draw attention to yourself in smaller towns.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
