    Koenigsegg’s New Entry-Level Car Will Have A V8 Hybrid

    When Koenigsegg announce or decide they will be building a new car, they tend to be rather extraordinary in terms of power outputs and the technology implanted in the car. Take the One:1 or the Regera for example. Recently, Koenigsegg has announced they will be making an entry-level model, but even so it will almost certainly be as rapid as ever.

    Contrary to Koenigsegg’s usual hypercars, this new base model will be, “more of a road car,” and, “not at all track focused,” according to Christian von Koenigsegg. This new car will be more affordable as well (affordable being relative of course). Apparently, the baby Koenigsegg will come in at about €600 000 – €800 000 (approx. R9.7 million – R12.9 million) which makes it about € 1.5 million (approx. R24.2 million) less than an Agera. Production numbers will also increase to a few hundred per annum.

    Koenigsegg hasn’t announced any performance figures, however we do know that it will have a naturally-aspirated (rejoice!) V8 coupled with electric power. Additionally, it will make use of Freevalve technology, which is only understandable to those who have a degree in Mechanical Engineering. But it basically means that it is a camless engine with valve actuation that is fully variable which allows more power but using less fuel.

    Von Koenigsegg also indicated that they will be the humanitarians of the auto industry with Koenigsegg planning on forming a new company. This company will be offering assistance to other firms who want to develop new platforms, electrical systems and also carbon-fibre wheels. Ultimately, von Koenigsegg hopes that this will allow innovations to filter into ordinary cars.

    Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing this new Koenigsegg model soon, as it will only be unveiled at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show.

    • 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.
