    Hardcore Honda Civic Type R OveRland Is Road Legal

    The Honda Civic Type R is one of the most complete hot hatches available on the market. It certainly doesn’t need to prove its worth since it has been holding the lap record at the Nürburgring for FWD cars until very recently. What if you would like something a bit more rugged, though? Luckily, Ralph Hosier Engineering has the perfect solution for you with a car called the Civic Type R OveRland.

    This Civic is a more rally-spec vehicle thanks to a couple of subtle yet very effective modifications. One of the most notable features are the new 18-inch wheels fitted with 255/55 BF Goodrich tyres. Some changes have been done to the body as well with a new body kit resulting in some more prominent wheel arches and front apron. The rear hatch has also been fettled with to make sure it can accompany the new, bigger rear tyres.

    As you would probably expect, the OveRland’s suspension has been changed to make sure it can soak up any off-roading punishment that a driver may throw at it. This means the car has modified transverse links as well as custom trailing arm mountings at the back.

    As it stands, no power upgrades have been made to the OveRland which means its turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine still produces 308 HP (228kW) and 400 Nm of torque. The transmission is also unchanged. Two vents on the bonnet, however, may suggest that the car could be getting a little bit more motivation.

    We have seen concepts and visions of cars like the Civic Type R OveRland before, but none have really come to fruition. Fear not though, because this rally-spec Honda will be made and is road legal too.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • 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.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

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?
