    Koenigsegg Jesko V8 Fires Up For The First Time

    It has been rather quiet on the Koenigsegg front but the manufacturer took to Instagram recently to share a short clip of their Agera RS replacement, the Jesko, firing up its beastly V8 for the first time.

    The video seen below gives us the rare opportunity to hear the lovely soundtrack generated by a newly developed twin-turbo 5.0-litre V8 engine which will develop 1,280 hp (954 kW; 1,297 PS) on regular fuel and as much as 1,600 hp (1,193 kW; 1,622 PS) on E85 biofuel. According to the Swedish marque, the engine has the lightest crankshaft ever fitted to a V8, weighing in at just 12.5 kilograms.

    We think you are witnessing the future fastest production car in the world as they are confident the Jesko will surpass the 300 mph mark and eclipse the 304.7 mph speed set by Bugatti in the Chiron Super Sport 300+ prototype.

    All 125 build slots for the Jesko are spoken for with a starting price of around $2.8 million. Production of customer cars is scheduled to commence towards the end of 2020 at a rate of just one vehicle per week.

    • 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.
