    Elon Musk Confirms Tesla Roadster Will Hit The Nurburgring In 2021

    Tesla boss, Elon Musk, has confirmed in a tweet that the new Roadster will make its way to the infamous circuit next year for testing.

    The new Tesla Roadster was revealed in concept form almost three years ago promising some truly mind-blowing performance.

    At the reveal of the concept, Musk mentioned we would see it hit the market in 2020 but clearly that is not the case and it probably won’t be until 2022 when the first customer deliveries are expected to commence.

    Yes

    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 20, 2020

    Last year we saw a handful of Tesla Model S Plaid prototypes lapping the ‘Ring in various states of tune and set up in order to take the electric sedan lap record away from the Porsche Taycan. The unofficial times were seriously impressive but they have not released any official lap times at the time of writing.

    The updated specifications of the new Roadster are not yet known but what we can expect is a 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) sprint time in less than 2 seconds and a top speed of at least 250 mph (400 km/h).

    If Musk’s tweets are to be true, they will also offer it with an optional ‘SpaceX Package’ which will include cold air thrusters across the exterior to improve performance.

    • 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.
