Driven

The drop-top S-Class Cabriolet is available in three versions in South Africa namely; the S500, this Mercedes-AMG S63 and the most expensive production Mercedes available, the Mercedes-AMG S65.

When I was growing up I recall being amazed with the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG as it was groundbreaking in the looks and performance departments but fast forward to now and thanks to this mind-warpingly beautiful SL63, it has turned into an obsession. The main purpose of the 2017 version of the SL63 (the midcycle refresh) was to get the iconic…

Some people think I have the best job in the world and when I get behind the wheel of a 572 horsepower Italian supercar, I would have to agree. Having driven the Huracán LP610-4 Coupe and Spyder, it was now time to see what the slightly less powerful, slightly lighter rear-wheel drive LP580-2 was made of. Firstly the cosmetics of the RWD car…

If you follow my social media pages, you will know that I just had my time with the new Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe and before we get into the review on the German machine I must let you know a few things about the test car. This was the same car that was used on track at the SA Festival of Motoring so when it was delivered, the brakes were…

Having spent some time on the track in the baby M machine, last week was my turn to see how the staunch little German was on public roads and general day-to-day driving. Let me start off with the looks. Out on the road and even parked in your garage, this is one car that you will turn around to look at over and over again. The lines this M car…

When I knew I was getting the BMW i8 for a few days on test I knew I would like the styling and I was excited to experience what everyone is calling 'the future' but I had no idea that driving a car powered by a battery as well as a tiny petrol engine would grab me so much! The car's styling is so far out that it will look new in 10 or even…

As most of you will know I recently had the chance to get behind the wheel of the drop-top baby bull and as it is pretty much the Coupe with the option to have the wind in your hair I will not be getting technical but rather try and explain what it does to you on the inside. First the looks. With that roof off it looks absolutely superb from…

Patience paid off in this case as the Audi RS3 Sportback has to be one of the most addictive cars I have ever driven in my life. Since the car went back yesterday, I decided to get my thoughts down as fast as possible to remember as much as possible but while I am writing this, I am extremely sad that the little German firecracker has left.…

After giving back the little AMG A45 I was having AMG withdrawals until their new two-seater sports coupé arrived at my door. So what is this AMG GT that has come straight out of the AMG factory? Put simply, it is Merc's challenger to the ever popular and always performing Porsche 911. Contrary to what you may have read, it is actually based on…

Prior to this test I had only had the chance to get behind the wheel of the non-facelifted version of the A45 AMG for about 5 minutes so I had expectations but having it for a few days is a whole different story all together. The team from AMG were clearly annoyed with the introduction of Audi's RS3 packing 362 hp so when it came time to…
