    650 HP (485 kW) RWD Nissan GT-R by JRM

    Engineering outfit in the UK, JRM Group is no stranger to building race versions of the popular Nissan GT-R and now they are building some for the road called the GT23.

    Nissan turned to JRM when it needed help to develop the GT-R Nismo GT3 shortly after the launch of the R35 generation.Β The race car has evolved significantly since then and JRM has used the lessons it learned over the years to develop the GT23.

    The changes start with an increase in power which means the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 develops 650 hp (485 kW). The standard dual-clutch transmission is then replaced by a sturdier 6-speed sequential shifter and the all-wheel-drive system swapped out for a simpler, lighter rear-wheel-drive setup.

    As you can see, aerodynamics is a big focus on this car which now sports huge ducts in the hood and the tall wing at the rear.

    To shed more weight, JRM stripped the interior, fitted a roll cage and bucket seats and replaced the standard instrument cluster with a race-style display.

    Just 23 GT23s will be built, with production to take place at JRM’s headquarters in Daventry, United Kingdom. The first is due to be delivered in 2020 and pricing starts at Β£380,000.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • 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?
