    Unofficial Very Limited Mercedes-AMG GT R Speedster Revealed

    Last month we saw teasers on social media of an unnamed Mercedes-AMG project based on the GT R. That car has now been revealed and it is this sleek and sexy AMG GT R Speedster.

    The car was designed by Roland A. Bussink, a private collector, who has a fondness for all things Mercedes and Maybach. He commissioned HWA AG to turn his idea into reality and as you can see the result is absolutely stunning. It is officially called the Bussink GT R SpeedLegend and just five units will be made available.

    For those with a keen eye, you will notice the inspiration comes from Mercedes-Benz F1 cars and the SLR Stirling Moss. It is most certainly not an official Mercedes-AMG product but at least the company responsible for the build has a close relationship with AMG.

    This was not a simple project by any means as we all know removing a roof has serious repercussions to structural integrity. The rigidity was restored by means of a custom Y-shaped Speedbow which runs from the hood to the headrests and resembles the halo used on current F1 cars.

    If you happen to be lucky enough to be in the line to get one, you can ask for it to arrive with the same output of the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 or you can have it tweaked to 850 hp (634 kW) and 1,040 Nm (767 lb-ft) of torque.

    What do you all think? We think it looks superb and if you watch the video below, you will know it sounds superb too. Fancy one? Well you know you are too late if you are reading this as all five units have been spoken for.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more)?
    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • 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.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

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?
