    650 HP (486 kW) BMW i7 M70 xDrive Not Heading For South Africa

    BMW took the covers off the potent 2024 i7 M70 xDrive model recently and although the worldwide launch is only taking place in the second half of the year, BMW South Africa has confirmed that this model will not be making its way here.

    The new i7 M70 xDrive features BMW‘s most powerful electric motor achieved by double the number of excitation windings from three to six. The rear one produces 483 horsepower, which works with the 255-hp front-axle motor to give the EV a combined output of 650 hp (486 kW) and 1,014 Nm (748 lb-ft) of torque.

    Activate the M Sport Boost (Launch Control) and the torque climbs to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) allowing the electric sedan to sprint to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. Despite its size, this is now BMW’s quickest fully electric model.

    The potent i7 will launch with a standard two-axle air suspension with auto self-levelling and electronically controlled dampers. The i7 M70 features Integral Active Steering and Active Roll Stabilization, while a shear panel between the bulkhead and spring strut towers increases the sedan’s front-end rigidity.

    At this point, no information is available on pricing but we suggest this may be one of the reasons why this will not be making its way to Mzansi.

    • 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.
