    The Mercedes-AMG GT R

    If you are a fan of high-end sports cars, then you will love this one! Many people think that Porsche is the only way to go for fast luxury cars, but this model from Mercedes-AMG will cause you to think again. The sleek styling will turn heads everywhere you go, while the power under the hood will get you where you need to go in no time flat. This car is a great addition to the Mercedes lineup and is bound to whet your appetite for speed!

    Under the Hood

    Let’s start with the obvious…what kind of power are we talking about here? Like the rest of the AMG line, there is plenty of power under the hood on this beast. The GT R is powered by a twin-turbo, 4.0L V8 that cranks out 577 horsepower. It is paired with a 7-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission for quick and efficient shifts. This combination will take you from 0-60 in a mere 3.5 seconds.

    With all that power, you might expect this car to be a gas guzzler. However, that is not the case with the GT R. Surprisingly, it averages 15 miles per gallon in city driving and 20 mpg on the highway. You can cruise all day and not have to worry about breaking the bank on fuel costs. That is a nice departure from the norm as compared to most high performance vehicles.

    In some ways, this car is built for the track. Its sleek and aerodynamic design, paired with chassis enhancements and a larger wing as compared to the regular GT model, make it perfectly designed to clock fast laps around the track. In fact, it is one of the fastest production cars available on the market.

    Interior

    The interior is well appointed, yet a little cramped. It is a two-seater roadster, so you will not find a ton of room inside the cabin of the GT R. You will find performance bucket seats that hold you comfortably in place during maneuvering or tight corners. A great sound system and the Mercedes Infotainment screen complete the interior.

    Pricing

    As you might expect, you will pay a pretty penny for the GT R if you decide to buy one. According to the Mercedes website, the GT R starts at $162,900 and goes up from there depending on the specific options you select. While this is a lot of money, it is in line with other similarly positioned models. You can expect to pay about the same thing for a similar Porsce, and even more for a Lamborghini or Ferrari.

    If you have one you need to sell, it might be difficult to find a buyer in this price range. However, Auto Wranglers is now offering to buy any used car that you might own. They will make you a cash offer on your vehicle and even come pick it up for free. This can be a great way to get a competitive price for your car, and you can have the money in your pocket quickly.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
