Rolls-Royce and affordable are words that will never be associated so it comes as no surprise that the 1:8 scale Rolls-Royce Cullinan model has an astronomical price tag.

Mercedes-Benz South Africa has not said anything regarding local availability but we are fairly certain they will only bring in the range topping 'S' variant in Sedan guise.

As we mentioned, power remains the same which means the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 delivers a healthy 600 hp (447 kW) while the Competition variant cranks out 617 hp (460 kW).

Ever wondered what the outcome of a drag race between a 310 kW hot hatch and 460 kW coupé would be?

We have confirmation from BMW South Africa that we will be getting five of these units and one has already arrived.

As expected, it looks fast, very fast with Sven Bordhorst behind the wheel of the 1,479 hp (1,103 kW) Molsheim machine.

It is no secret that the BMW M8 Competition is extremely fast but is it as capable as it is quick around a circuit?

To give it the stance to suit the new shoes, a set of lowering springs drops the ride height by around 35 mm.

If you have been reading the news, things in the United States are not good and it seems even the very wealthy are taking to looting to grab some of their favourite merchandise at a serious discount.

Just five of these models will be built with a price tag of $12k (around R200k).
