    South African Collector Nabs The R22 Million ‘Bad Boys’ Porsche 911 Turbo

    Earlier last month, Mecum Auctions’ Kissimmee event took place with one of the stars of the show being the original Porsche 911 964 Turbo from the firsts Bad Boys movie.

    It immediately made headlines after selling for a substantial $1.43 million (approx. R22 million) including the buyer’s commission.

    Recently we have come to learn that the winning bid for this iconic car went to a collector in South Africa who has some pretty impressive machines already. This may not be the most expensive of the collection but it sure is one of the coolest.

    As a reminder, this is the car that was once owned by Michael Bay and actually driven by Will Smith in the film. Having covered just 34,396 miles from new, Michael Bay sold the car to Pat Sandstone who sold it to the “current” owner in 2005. Matthew Drendel bought the car in 2008, and in 2014, the “current” owner bought the car back from the Drendel Collection.

    Marcus Burnett: Hey man where-where-where’s your cup holder?
    Mike Lowrey: I don’t have one.
    Marcus Burnett: What the f- w’you mean you don’t have one? Eighty thousand dollars for this car and you ain’t got no damn cup holder?
    Mike Lowrey: It’s $105,000 and this happens to be one of the fastest production cars on the planet. Zero to sixty in four seconds, sweetie. It’s a limited edition.

    The full listing can be found here but the car comes with the front french number plate “447 DB 75” and the epic “BAD BYS1” at the rear. Not only do you get the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and a Movie Certificate of Authenticity but it has won multiple awards too.

    Will we see this special piece of kit touch down in South Africa? We can only hope but the South African owner has not decided that yet.

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

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • 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.
