    Mercedes-AMG recently confirmed their interest in the EV market by confirming vehicles made by Mercedes-AMG will be electrified under the ‘EQ Performance’ label.

    In an interview with CarSales, Mercedes-AMG boss Tobias Moers said that their first performance EV will not disappoint.

    “The customers are going to buy the car if the performance is there. That’s my attitude, that’s my thinking,” he declared.

    “We have a lot of discussions with customers but if you deliver the performance, which is expected in our segment …. in combination with a certain range of pure electric drive, and instant power output of the powertrain, capable on the racetrack as well, usable every day. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

    Will it pack Taycan Turbo S sort of performance? The AMG executive wouldn’t be drawn on whether it would have higher performance parameters than the new Porsche Taycan but did say that the “Taycan sets the bar, that’s for sure.”

    Currently, the Mercedes-AMG folk are busy developing its first plug-in hybrid model, the Mercedes-AMG GT 73 super sedan that will lob in 2020 with a sub 3.0sec 0 to 100km/h time.

    When will we see this EV from the AMG boys and girls? “It’s too early to say,” said Moers.

    • 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.
