    McLaren 620R and Others Destroyed In Philippines For Being Imported Illegally

    Last year we saw images surface on social media of a McLaren 620R that had reportedly been seized in the Philippines after the importer claimed the car was a Porsche Cayman in a bid to avoid paying the proper taxes.

    It seems this was true and the government has no sympathy for individuals trying to dodge tax as the McLaren as well as a bunch of other high-end machines have been destroyed. The country’s Bureau of Customs posted about the destruction to Facebook.

    The social media post seen below, mentions the cars were illegally imported between 2018 and 2020 so authorities destroyed the vehicles by crushing them with a backhoe, rendering them worthless. Some of the other cars included a Porsche 911 as well as a Bentley  Flying Spur.

    The reason for doing this so publicly is to deter future would-be illegal importers from doing it again. We’re likely to see more cars destroyed in the future as criminals try to find new ways to get around the tight import laws and high taxes, though the country has a solid track record of catching them, too.

    • 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.
