    First Production SSC Tuatara Has Already Been Delivered

    The SSC Tuatara packs a twin-turbo 5.9-litre V8 generating 1,350 horsepower (1,007 kW) on regular fuel, and on E85 you will get up to 1,750 hp (1,305 kW). It also has a drag coefficient of 0.279, which is the lowest of any other hypercar so far so it is a big hitter among the hypercar toys.

    Back in July, we heard that it would be going into production and without anyone knowing, the first example has been delivered to its owner, Dr. Larry Caplin in Philadelphia. The hypercar has been in his possession for nearly 6 months already but plans to reveal it to the public on the 7th of February at the Philadelphia Auto Show.

    An SSC spokesman confirmed that Dr. Caplin’s Tuatara features pearlescent black paint with red and gloss black accents. The first production Tuatara is the “high-speed” configuration as opposed to the “high downforce” setup that SSC offers.

    Bugatti has already beaten them to the 300 mph race but will they be able to beat that with an even higher top speed run?

    • 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.
