    Has The BMW M5 CS Lapped The Ring Faster Than The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S?

    Just a few days ago we got confirmation that Mercedes-AMG had taken their Nurburgring record back from the new Porsche Panamera Turbo S but is this unreleased (and technically unconfirmed) Bavarian coming to spoil the party again?

    This ladies and gents is the BMW M5 CS which was recently taken in prototype form to the Hockenheim-GP track to see how fast it lapped the circuit.

    The pre-production M5 CS managed to set a 1:53.6 which means it came up short compared to the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door Coupé but there are a few noticeable things to mention here. First of all, it wasn’t running on Cup 2 tyres, and those can make a huge difference. Second of all, this is a pre-production model so we could see a more potent car when it is officially released.

    The video below also shares new details with us about the upcoming M5 CS including a claimed output of 635 PS (626 hp; 467 kW) and some new lightweight seats which have a very interesting detail on the headrest.

    Watch the video below and you will see the Nurburgring track embossed on the headrests which surely means something?

    Considering the M5 CS and the GT 63 S are separated by just a few horsepower and the BMW is a lot lighter, we might see a new world record when the car is unveiled.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • 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.
