    Limited-Edition McLaren 620R Is A Road-Legal Race Car

    We knew what it was going to look like after a leak a few weeks back but now the limited-edition McLaren 620R is official and ready to join 350 customers collections.

    As expected, it is based on the 570S GT4 race car but this can be driven on public roads. The familiar 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 gets cranked up to 611 hp (620 PS; 456 kW) and 620 Nm of torque after a simple ECU tweak and turbocharger management. Thanks to the extra grunt, it can now complete the 100 km/h sprint in just 2.9 seconds.

    If that does not impress you that much, the 0 to 200 km/h time should. It has dropped from 9.5 seconds to 8.1 seconds but thanks to the additional aero, the top speed has slightly dropped to 322 km/h (from 328 km/h).

    Being a race car, it also went on a diet and lost 31 kg compared to the regular 570S.

    The updated aero package includes a prominent adjustable rear wing which can develop as much as 185 kg of downforce.

    If you wish, you can opt to replace the standard Pirelli P Zero R semi-slick tyres with a set of full-slick motorsport-spec tyres reserved for the track offering a contact patch 8% larger compared to the road-legal set.

    According to McLaren, it’s the first time a car equipped with 19-inch front / 20-inch rear wheels has been developed to use slick tyres without having to go through additional mechanical adjustments.

    Inside the seats are replaced with carbon fibre racing seats with six-point harnesses as standard, along with door pull straps and carbon shift paddles.

    You have the choice between three exterior finishes: Onyx Black with orange stripes, Silica White with orange stripes, and McLaren Orange with white racing stripes. If you want to dig a little deeper into your pockets, MSO will gladly assist.

    • 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 😉 

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.
