    Aston Martin Reveal 1,140 HP (850 kW) Valkyrie Spider

    Customer deliveries of the ‘regular’ Aston Martin Valkyrie are yet to begin and here we already have a new version of the F1-inspired hypercar.

    As the title suggests, it is the Valkyrie Spider and although it loses the gullwing doors, it still gets dihedral doors that had to be specifically developed for the Valkyrie Spider. The removable upper panel was conceived to maintain the aerodynamic performance of the fixed roof version while the weight penalty has been limited to an “absolute minimum.”

    As expected the powertrain carries over which means it features a 6.5-litre V12 Cosworth built engine that can scream all the way to 11,000 rpm. Just imagine that noise without the roof on.

    The V12 internal combustion unit works with a Rimac-developed e-motor, which helps the hypercar deliver a combined output of 1,140 hp (850 kW) to perfectly match the coupe.

    Without the roof in place, the hypercar will hit a top speed in excess of 205 mph (330 km/h), while putting the top back on will enable a maximum velocity of over 218 mph (350 km/h).

    Production is limited to just 85 units and will come in both left and right-hand drive configurations. That means there is a good chance we will see one in South Africa and according to the rumour mill, we have already secured one order for local soil.

    Customer deliveries are slated to commence in the second half of next year and the manufacturer is happy to report the Valkyrie Spider has already generated more customer interest than the planned production run.

    • 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.
