    2,400 HP Six-Wheeled Hennessey Project Deep Space EV Coming 2026

    When Hennessey told us that their Venom F5 hypercar was sold out in August this year, they also announced plans for something “out of this world”. This seems to be those plans currently dubbed Project Deep Space.

    As the title suggests, Project Deep Space is a fully electric vehicle with six wheels and over 2,000 hp. Hennessey confirmed it will feature both a central driving position and a diamond-shaped four-seat layout (see images below). John Hennessey said it will be about six metres long and that it should also be the fastest-accelerating four-seater from rest to 200 mph (321 km/h).

    Dubbed as being a “Hyper-GT” much like Koenigsegg‘s Gemera, the low-slung coupe sports massive gullwing doors with each wheel powered by its own electric motor.

    Although Hennessey would not provide the final power figure he did mention that it is “pretty common to be able to generate 400 hp per electric motor, so doing the math suggests a serious amount of power if we decided to do that.”

    With regards to range, the goal is to deliver more than 500 miles of driving range, though 621 miles would be even better, Hennessey quipped (noting the 1,000 km mark).

    The six-wheel-drive, zero-emissions monster features a full carbon fibre body and chassis to keep the weight low, along with the “highest quality materials” for the interior. Inside, Project Deep Space has four seats with a central driving position flanked by two outboard seats for passengers. Hennessey noted the outboard seating positions are staggered a bit to allow even the tallest passengers to stretch out. The fourth seat is mounted directly behind the centrally positioned driver and is being dubbed the VVIP (Very Very Important Person) seat. It will be similar to the lie-flat seats in a Gulf Stream jet.

    Work has already begun on the production car, which should be launched in 2026. No more than 105 examples will be made and some slots have already been sold. One of the future owners is the same owner of the Venom F5 that Hennessey showed at Pebble Beach in August.

    Why exactly 105 cars? For exclusivity. “McLaren built 106 F1s, and so I’m building one less,” Hennessey quipped.

    If you fancy one, you will need to get your big boy money out as each will cost $3 million.

    • 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?
