    805 HP (600 kW) Mercedes-AMG “GT 73e” Hybrid Coming September 1st

    Back in March 2017, Mercedes-AMG revealed the GT Concept to take on the Porsche Panamera and the show car packed an extremely powerful plug-in hybrid setup.

    Today the folks from AMG have announced that the production version will be making its official debut on the 1st of September.

    They have not been scared of a teaser image or two of the range-topping AMG GT 4-Door Coupe but they have given away very little information. It is rumoured to either get the GT73e badge or even be dubbed the AMG GT63 E-Performance.

    What we do know is that it will make use of the familiar twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 (M177) engine but this will be paired with an electric motor to push out a total of around 600 kW (805 hp) and 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque.

    This car will be sold under the new “E Performance” banner which will be joined by the next-gen C63 and the AMG One hypercar. Mercedes-AMG has confirmed this new 4-Door coupé will be capable of hitting 60 mph (96 km/h) in under three seconds which is blistering for such a large machine.

    The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door coupé is already drastically expensive so we can only imagine what sort of wallet-stinging tag this monster will pack.

    Following its world premiere next Wednesday, the new performance PHEV will arrive a few days later at IAA Munich where it will share the spotlight with the fully electric AMG EQS.

    • 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.

    • 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?
