    Man Spends So Much Time, Effort and Money On Rolls-Royce Wraith EV Conversion His Wife Left Him

    Canadian businessman Vincent Yu was so focused on achieving his goal that he ended up losing a lot more than money.

    His goal was to convert his Rolls-Royce Wraith into an EV and although he has finally managed this over the past four years, he ended up selling his house to finance the conversion which ultimately resulted in his wife leaving him when she got fed up with the project.

    Surely someone with a Rolls-Royce Wraith has enough disposable money to pursue a conversion like this? Either way, Yu is very proud of what he has achieved and reports that the electronic Wraith can do 500 km (311 miles) on a single charge. What is more impressive is the fact that a full charge costs him just C$8 (approx. R100) which is a lot less than the C$120 (approx. R1500) it cost to fill it with petrol.

    Yu has opened up a shop called Mars Power where he is using his knowledge gained from the Wraith conversion to convert other ICE-powered cars into EVs.

    According to Richmond News, his daughter gave him the idea to convert his car after complaining about his driving habits.

    “You shouldn’t act like a wealthy douchebag by driving a stinky car around town and polluting the air,” his daughter said, according to Yu.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • 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.
