    Aston Martin DBX Could Feature Drift Mode

    These days “SUV” is the buzzword for more high-end manufacturers when they want to increase production numbers and profit margins. The next high-performance SUV that is due to be unveiled is none other than the Aston Martin DBX, and it seems as if it may possess a feature that no other SUV on the market currently has. Having a chat to CarAdvice, Aston’s senior manager of vehicle dynamics, Ian Hartley, said a drift mode in the DBX certainly isn’t out of the question.

    “It’s not a difficult question really. It’s a ‘never-say-never’ thing… Who wouldn’t want to see a drift mode? I am all for drift mode,” Hartley said. He also stated that the DBX’s all-wheel-drive system wouldn’t be an issue. “It’s four-wheel drive, but we might be able to vary rear, or front to rear.”

    If Aston Martin does indeed decide to add a “drift mode” or some form of adjustable power delivery, it would certainly add some appeal to prospective owners. Considering we have only really seen drift modes on the likes of hot hatches, hopefully, a few other SUV makers will follow suit.

    The DBX is presumed to get its power from Mercedes-AMG’s twin-turbo V8 (the same as in the Vantage). That particular engine puts out 503 horsepower (375 kW) and 685 Nm of torque. All we have to do now is for Aston to officially unveil their new SUV.

    • The brand new Haval H6 GT was spotted in Bedfordview JHB by @engineeringkulture 

The H6 is proving to be a big success in SA and this sportier-looking offering is likely to sell very well in Mzansi.

What do you think of it?

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
