    Audi Reveal Limited RS 3 Performance Edition Packing 407 HP (302 kW)

    The Audi RS 3 is currently the king of the hot hatches and it seems 300 individuals around the world will be getting an even more potent version with the RS 3 Performance Edition.

    The turbocharged 5-cylinder has been tweaked a touch to push output up to 407 horses (302 kW). Audi achieved this by turning up boost a tad as well as fiddling with the exhaust system (also making it louder in the process).

    The power delivery occurs slightly later in the rev range and the torque is set across a wider band thanks to a more pressurised turbocharger setting. As before, this power goes through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission to all four wheels.

    Visually you will find some exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels, finished in dark grey matte paint. Additional exterior changes include a black rear diffuser along with black Audi badging. Exterior colour options include Nogaro Blue, Daytona Gray, Arrow Gray, Sebring Black, Sebring Black Crysta, and Glacier White.

    Hop inside and you will find bucket seats with Dinamica microfiber and Nappa leather. Mercato Blue offers a contrast to the dark interior, found on everything from seat belts to door panels and stitching. The 10.1-inch touchscreen features a carbon-look background, and a special “1 of 300” badge is prominently mounted on the passenger side of the carbon-trimmed dash.

    There is no indication that this model will be making its way to South Africa at this stage. It has already been confirmed that it will not be going to North America or the UK so who knows where these 300 special models will end up.

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

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • 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.
