    Why Is The 80 Year-Old Bugatti Atlantic Back In The Spotlight?

    There is no need to introduce the marque that is Bugatti. It’s synonymous with brute power, exclusivity and luxury. Despite the fact that Bugatti has only made two models in the past 20 years (excluding the Divo), the company’s history dates back to 1909. Among the cars that were built from then until 1963 (when the company ceased operations) includes the iconic Atlantic, and it appears as if Bugatti has something in the pipelines for Geneva which includes this model.

    The Atlantic is one of the rarest cars out there, with only four ever being built and only three being sold to private owners. We have seen two of these Atlantics win at events such as the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and we have seen how much these classic cars can go for. More than $30 million (approx. R417 million) in some cases, in fact.

    However, the location of third of the trio of customer Atlantics is unknown. “There is no trace of this car after 1938,” which remained in the possession of Jean Bugatti after it was made. It is believed that it may have been sold to one of Bugatti’s racing drivers at the time, or perhaps taken by the Nazis during World War II.

    Recently, Bugatti has been rather nostalgic about the car on social media which could potentially mean one of two things. Either, Bugatti could be making a limited to one edition tribute to the Atlantic , or, that missing Atlantic of the 1930’s may have been found. Either way, the fact that Bugatti has been posting about the Atlantic so close to Geneva makes one wonder if a surprise may be in order next month.

    • 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.
