    The Koenigsegg Agera RS Phoenix Made Manny Khoshbin $11,875 (R170k) A Day

    It was around one year ago when successful entrepreneur Manny Khoshbin took delivery of the Koenigsegg Agera RS Phoenix.

    He was initially buying the RS Gryphon which was made famous after crashing during its shakedown but luckily ended up with the Agera RS Phoenix.

    We were surprised as much as you were when he sold it about 6 months later which, according to CNBC, gave Manny a handsome $1.9 million (approx. R27 million) profit from the sale – the highest ever profit he has made in such a short time.

    Manny had reportedly parted with $2.2 million for the initial purchase but received an offer from a mutual contact shortly after he took delivery. He initially asked for $5 million, which was negotiated down to $4.1 million, earning the entrepreneur a cool $1.9 million. Given the fact, that Manny owned the Phoenix for just over 5 months, the appreciation in value works out to roughly $365,595 (R5.2 million) a month, $11,875 a day or $495 an hour.

    That is pretty damn good business if you ask us but why did it sell for such a premium? To start with there are only 25 examples of the Agera RS worldwide and it featured a few unique components including a $300,000 rear wing.

    The 24-carat gold accents and gold exhaust tip certainly had something to do with the insane price too but we cannot forget the fact that it is also the current world record holder for the fastest production car.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye πŸ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
