    McLaren Sold R2 Billion Worth Of Their Heritage Collection To Fund Artura Production

    McLaren has faced some financial trouble in recent years which saw them selling their own headquarters and then renting it back in 2021.

    Now they have had to sell historic models out of its heritage collection to raise more funds for vehicle development. Bloomberg reports an unspecified quantity of cars were sold to the automaker’s main shareholder, Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat Holding Co.

    The sale reportedly raised $123 million (approx. R2 billion) in fresh capital which is apparently being used to provide technical upgrades to the Artura.

    Automotive News continues to state that the cash injection is not enough and that McLaren is “in active talks with all shareholders regarding recapitalization of the group”.

    The exact details of which historic McLaren vehicles sold were not disclosed. Of note, McLaren’s heritage collection includes 54 rare Formula 1 racing cars and F1 supercars.

    It seems that McLaren needs more money than its new cars are currently bringing in and will be quite a challenge to get out of this dip.

    • 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.
