    McLaren Will Never Do SUV As “There Is Nothing Cool About an SUV”

    McLaren seems to be the only manufacturer in the world who are not even remotely interested in an SUV and this was confirmed to CarSales recently in a chat with the director of McLaren’s Sports Series, Darren Goddard.

    “There is nothing cool about an SUV,” said Goddard and admitted that even though they are watching the success of Porsche, Lamborghini and Bentley, they see no compelling reason to join this competition.

    McLaren is aiming to cap production at 6000 cars a year and if they were to introduce an SUV at some point that would explode to about 15,000. McLaren wants to chase an exclusive product and not mass production.

    He concedes that McLaren would have difficulty, and would have to make a giant investment if it were to move away from the carbon mono-cell that’s inside its sports cars to create an SUV.

    “Those [VW Group] SUVs are three models, in some cases four, all the same under skin but with different OEM badges on the front.

    “Even if we wanted, we couldn’t have that connection with any other brand. There is an element of exclusivity. The customers and the brand deserves to have the exclusivity.”

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

    • #WideWednesday showing off this bold Urus sporting the Novitec Esteso widebody and aero kit done by @race1_ 

It also packs a full Supersprint exhaust so you will certainly hear it before you see it coming.
