    Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder Getting PDK Gearbox

    Porsche has been toying with the idea of fitting a PDK gearbox in the 718 Cayman GT4 for quite some time now and it seems it is finally happening.

    Evo magazine mentions that both the 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Boxster Spyder buyers will be able to get the seven-speed PDK by the end of this year. When the new transmission appears, it will mark the first time the top-end Cayman and Boxster have offered the choice of a PDK.

    What would this mean for performance? The GT4 and Spyder both hit the sprint to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. With the PDK good for a gain of anywhere from 0.2 to 0.4 seconds compared to the standard six-speed manual, we could see the nimble machines complete the sprint in 4 seconds flat.

    As a reminder, pricing for the 718 Spyder starts at R1,495,000 while the 718 Cayman GT4 will start at R1,563,000 but keep in mind this if the standard manual offering.

    • 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.
