    Pogea Racing Alfa Romeo 4C ‘Zeus’ Gains Power, Drops Weight

    Pogea Racing is no stranger to Alfa Romeo and their 4C sports car but their
    latest kit is arguably the best as it takes the rear-wheel-drive machine to new heights in terms of power and to new lows as far as weight is concerned.

    The new program goes by the name of “Zeus” and brings a multitude of improvements to turn the 4C into a tuner’s vision of a Quadrifoglio version that Alfa will not build.

    The 1.75-litre turbocharged unit no longer pushes out 237 hp (205 kW) and 350 Nm of torque as it has been massaged to develop 346 hp (258 kW) and 458 Nm. This has been achieved by installing a modified turbocharger, upgraded high-pressure pump and injectors, plus a stainless steel exhaust with carbon tips.

    The car is already light in stock form and with the Zeus package shaving an enormous 100 kg extra the little Italian will sprint to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds (a large 1.1 seconds improvement). Top speed has also dramatically increased from the series 258 km/h (160 mph) to an impressive 304 km/h (189 mph) after getting from 100 km/h (62 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph) in just 8.1 seconds.

    With this extra oomph the car needs to be cosmetically striking and they did not disappoint. There is a prominent wing at the back, revised front end, coilover suspension and some drastic changes on the interior.

    Pogea Racing is making 10 examples of the Zeus, but three of them have already been built and delivered to their rightful owners. If you want to claim one of the remaining seven cars, the starting price is €50,100, but bear in mind it doesn’t include the donor car.

    • 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.
