    Ares S Project Coming Soon Using C8 Corvette As The Starting Point

    The Modena, Italy-based car customization company, Ares, has revealed that it is working on a new supercar, based on the platform of the C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.

    It is called the S Project and although it uses the Corvette as the base, it has extremely different proportions. Take one look and you will notice the wraparound windshield Koenigsegg style or even the rear lights reminiscent of a Bugatti Chiron.

    The mechanicals from the Chevy remains the same but Ares has managed to crank the output of the 6.2-litre V8 up to 705 hp (526 kW) and 970 Nm (715 lb-ft) of torque.

    Like in the Corvette, drive in the S Project is to the rear wheels only, via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Simulations suggest the car will be capable of the 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in 2.6 seconds.

    Deliveries are scheduled for later this year and if you want one you will need to act fast as they are only building 24 units each with a starting price of 500,000 euros.

    • 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.
