    Devel Sixteen Revealed in Production Form But Only Packs a V8 – For Now

    Nearly ten years ago the Devel Sixteen burst onto the scene with some outrageous claims about packing 5,000 hp from a V16 engine.

    Fast forward to today and the first production version of the car is real and Supercar Blondie has the chance to check it out. This particular car is currently undergoing final tuning but there is one really stand-out problem for us, it only has eight cylinders. Guess that makes it the Devel Eight, then?

    Before everyone starts crying foul, the future owner of this car did not want a V16 engine and so a potent V8 was fitted instead. A few years ago rumours were swirling that Drake was the first owner so it will be interesting to see where it ends up.

    As expected, it does not pack the 5,000 horses promised all those years back but it will be capable of a whopping 2,000 hp thanks to a custom-built twin-turbocharged V8. We don’t have any details on the engine, but we’ll admit it sounds very healthy. It’s also apparently still in the tuning process, so it seems that the 2,000 hp benchmark hasn’t been met yet. This first model with the V8 is targeting a top speed of 249 mph (400 km/h) so even with half the cylinders, it’s not slow by any means.

    The second production car will reportedly pack the aforementioned V16 but it will deliver something in the region of 3,000 hp (2,237 kW), which is still an absurd amount for a road car.

    • 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?
