    Watching Gordon Murray T.50 Torture Tested Is Hard To Watch

    All production supercars need to be tested to meet global homologation standards and some of the tests are a lot worse than others.

    Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) released their latest vlog on YouTube which is all connected to airbag calibration testing but wow it is hard to watch such a special car being put through some extreme tests.

    The tests were done to make sure the airbags didn’t deploy unnecessarily which means subjecting the test car to forces production cars may experience, but where the driver wouldn’t want an airbag going off, such as striking potholes and railroad crossings or even climbing a gravel mound.

    In the more extreme tests, engineers drove the T.50 supercar into a gravel heap and even launched it off a small ramp.

    As you will see in the video below, XP1 survived everything intact. Having already seen a year of testing, it will be retired and used to train service technicians, and will then be put on display as a museum piece.

    • 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.
