Lady's and Gentlemen❗❗

We welcome a masterpiece to our South-African Shores - The menacing Mclaren 620R🔥🇿🇦

It is based on the 570S GT4 Racing machine but with this one you get best of both worlds as it is street legal🤩🤩

Under the hood screaming with power is a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 with 611 Horses (456kw) and a tar ripping 620 Nm.

0-100 km/h in 2.9s
0-200 km/h in 8.1s

If that does not tick all your boxes, being super rare is a understatement as there are only 350 in the world. Standing at the Beautiful Daytona dealership.

The Ultimate Hypercar?
Koenigsegg ONE:1

This is not merely the most outrageous Agera of all as it’s also the most extreme car Koenigsegg built to date. Seven of these mega-cars, including one prototype, were built between 2014 and 2015. Interestingly is this mega-car only known as the ONE:1 despite it being obviously an Agera. The 5L twin-turbo produces 1000kw(1360hp)1371nm which drives the rear wheels via a 7 speed dual clutch box. At 1360kg produces this Koenigsegg 1hp for every 1kg hence the ONE:1 name. Just think about it for a moment, this 1000kw car weighs the same as a McLaren Senna. The extreme aero on this car makes it one serious track capable car yet it is still beyond belief fast in a straight line with a top end speed of over 450kph. The ONE:1 is capable to sprint to 100kph in 2.5sec, will reach 200kph from rest in 6.6sec and will do the 0-300kph sprint in 11sec. More impressive still is the 0-400kph dash which will take less than 20sec. The Koenigsegg ONE:1 you see here is currently on sale at $7 000 000(R106Mil).

It is a tribute built for the 20th Anniversary of the Mclaren F1 GTR victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, The Mclaren 650s Le Mans was limited to just 50 units Worldwide!!!!

A Carbon-Fibre Splitter, Roof Scoop and MSO-Built Louvred front fenders pay tribute to the Race-spec F1 GTR that won the 24 Hours Le Mans in 1995!!!

As you can see the MSO Forged 5-spoke alloy wheels also pay a tribute to the F1 GTR and what a beautiful piece of machinery😍😍🔥🔥

Hi Peeps now that its spring and everyone is done hibernating in winter, I have some Hot content for you!!!🌡🔥

We welcome the Ferrari Roma to SA🇿🇦

Under the hood is a 3.9L TT V8 producing a whopping 456kw and 760nm of ground breaking Torque!!!

Its 0-100km/h only takes 3.4s and the baseprice is R4,972,000 witch is not cheap but O my gosh what a piece of engineering excellence you get🙌🏻🥵

What are your opinions regarding this Design?

The Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Concept.

Another limited edition from Aston Martin, seems like the Boss of Aston is going to stick with the old "If it's not broken don't fix it" line with the Aston Martin way of producing only a certain amount of cars with their new releases to keep the Collectors on their toes with only 99 to be produced.

With it's 6.0-litre naturally-aspirated V12 it develops 444kw and 630nm of torque, launching it from 0-100km/h in just 3.5 seconds.

A true beauty from the Line of Zagato's.

The Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR on it way to SA!!

If you want more than the ever popular GTI but going for the Golf R is just out of you budget then the GTI TCR is perfect for you. Under the hood is the well know 2.0-litre Turbocharged four-cylinder motor producing 213kw and 380nm of torque, 34kw and 30nm more than the potent GTI. It has a seven-speed-dual-clutch transmission and will pull you to a 100km/h in just 5.6 seconds and will keep going to a top speed of 264km/h.

The GTI TCR receives a new front splitter, side sill extensions, roof spoiler and diffuser. Also equipped with 19-inch "Reifnitz" wheels, LED lights, black side mirror caps, a front-axle differential lock and perforated brake discs. You can also add a new honeycomb foil for the side panels, black roof and carbon mirror caps. Your choices is between Pure White, Pure Grey and Tornado Red paint jobs.

Purchasing the GTI TCR includes a special cap, keyring and a personalized ownership certificate. Above that an exclusive offering for the Golf GTI TCR owner in SA, there will be a unique number placed under the GTI logo at the rear of the car.

The precise arrival date is not yet set with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic but the recommended price is R669,000. Only 297 will be allocated to dealerships around SA and 3 will be pushed into the press fleet so if you want this bad boy you must make sure to not let it wait.

What is better than a Red Ferrari 812 Superfast with a Mansory softkit.

As if the styling from the brilliant Ferrari 812 Superfast is not enough, Mansory did what they do best and added a few touches of their own. The package includes carbon-fibre exterior pieces that is offered in either Gloss or Matte finishes. It includes a front lip, splitter, bumper extensions, air outlets, and rear diffuser with LED center brake lights.

The only other visual changes are a set of black, Y-Spoke wheels and smoked taillights. Some more subtle edits can be seen on the front bumper, fenders and rear, where the Ferrari logo replaced with the Mansory Crest.

There is no info regarding tuning the motor but who will be unhappy with that 6.5-litre-naturally-aspirated V12 that produces 588kw and 718nm of torque and takes only 2.9 seconds from 0-100km/h.

As seen on Zero2Turbo.com

Chernobyl Pripyat in Ukraine Mclaren 650S Liberty Walk is incredibly😱😍

Liberty Walk is well know for its insane design's but they definitely went over the top with this Chernobyl Design on this brilliant 650S, it is so good that it actually looks unreal!

The Japanese tuner fitting it with their bespoke body kit that consists of the bolt-on fenders, big side skirts, new front apron, modified rear bumper with diffuser, huge rear wing and some custom wheels.

Liberty Walk is not know for juicing up engines, so we think the V8 still produces 478kw and 678nm of torque and only needs 3 seconds to bullet from 0-100km/h.

The 1st built Lumma Design CLR X7R😱😱 LUMMA Design SA has done it again with making this X7 even more BEASTLY!!!

That wide body kit fitted is just indescribable and then they went even further and fitted 23 inch wheels specifically designed for the X7R.

Definitely have to consider the work of Lumma design SA if you are a proud owner of the New BMW X7

That's right you guessed it.

Volkswagen is working on producing the Tiguan R. Speculation says that it will use the known 2.0-litre TSI four-pot linked to a 4Motion all-wheel-drive system and a DSG transmission. On the above assumption it will produce 246kw.

We will just have to wait and see.🤔 Rumours have it that there will be a GTI variant as well.

Today we have a rather special german work of art.

The BMW M8 Competition. This monster is the big daddy of all M models out there with a 4.4-litre twinturbo charge 8-cylinder petrol engine that produces an amazing 460kw and 750nm of torque, it is the most powerful out of all the BMW engines in standard production vehicles.

The M8 Competition slingshots from 0-100km/h in just 3.2 seconds and from 0-200km/h in a mere 10.9 seconds. It will set you back just below the R3mil mark so surely this must be the best one out there.

The Next Generation A3 sportback and A3 Sedan looking more aggressive than ever!!

The A3 makes a more radical shift on the inside with a bigger and a more central infotainment system and Lamborghini-like air vents that protrude above the dash top. The new MMI processing system has ten times more computing power than the previous generation. There is a beefed up Navigation system with high-resolution Google Earth images, it also offers car-to-infrastructure services(in Europe) that allows the car to communicate with traffic lights and find parking sport. Customers will also be able to lock and unlock the car as well as start the engine from their Android phone or Amazon Alexa.

Powering the A3 is a Range of Turbocharged engines. The launch model is equipped with a 1.5 litre TFSI petrol powertrain, good for 110kw. Audi claimed consumption is 5.1l/100km. There is a 2.0-litre TDI option as well in two output guises 85- or 110kw.

The A3 Sportback is expected to arrive in SA in the second quarter of 2020 and rumours have it that the S3 and sedan to arrive around the same time next year.

Looks wise these cars are beautifully aggresive and interior wise is a real trend setter.

AUDI RS6-R ABT

As if the New Next Generation Audi RS6 is not enough, ABT Sportline just have to top the scale and have definitely done it!!

The Main customization on the ABT RS6-R conversion is the ABT power R performance upgrade. Witch launches the RS6 from 441kw and 800nm(stock) to an amazing 544kw and 920nm of torque. Witch reduces the 0-100km/h speed from 3.6 seconds to a whopping 3.2 seconds. If you do not call this crazy I do not know what will, just remember all this performance comes out of a Avant😍

20/04/2020

The Next Generation AUDI RS3

Next levels to be reached with the hyper hatch war going on, with a new report claiming the the up and coming Audi RS3 will produce up to 331kw!!

The hyper hatch that has been seen testing, is expected to be launched some time next year. The RS3 is to retain it's 2.5-litre turbocharge 5-potter, and will produce 309kw and 500nm. This will rival AMG's new A45 S witch is producing 310kw from it's 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder.

However there are reports that Audi Sport will release a Menacing RS3 variant that will see power up to 331kw. Audi yet again to move to the front of the segment in terms of performance.

Let's talk some SUV today.

The New Touareg "Black Style Package" from Volkswagen.

Powered by a 3.0-litre TDI V6 engine producing 190kw and 600nm of torque.

The "Black Style Package" includes blacked-out chrome elements(including the grille), black roof rails, gloss-black side-mirror caps and 21-inch "Suzuka" alloy wheels and will sit you back R39 900 as an option on the flagship Executive trim level ( and dus not the Luxury specification), witch already features the popular R-line package as standard.

This is definitely a modern day trend in the cars industry and personally I think it looks Brilliant.

NOVITEC MCLAREN SENNA

Today we have a rather special piece of art and precision engineering and personally I think one of the most amazing cars on the planet at stage.

As if the Mclaren Senna was not good enough, Novitec Group has gone and done some work and made this astonishing car even more powerfull and have just taken it to the extreme.

Named after the 3x World F1 Champion Ayrton Senna, the Mclaren stock produces 588kw and 800nm of torque from it's 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8.

Novitec went beyond and after a few modifications on the motor, while the bodywork of the Mclaren Senna with its active aerodynamics stays untouched, it now produces an extraordinary 663kw and 888nm of peak torque. Just to top everything off, the engine conversion also includes a NOVITEC RACE GTR PERFORMANCE EXHAUST SYSTEM. This exhaust is made out of INCONEL also found in Formula 1 cars.

The Senna slingshots itself from standstill 0-100km/h in just a mere 2.7 seconds. Not even four seconds later, after exactly 6.5 seconds, the Mclaren Senna from Novitec is doing 200km/h. The top speed is limited to 335km/h.😱😳😍

Brilliance is all I can say. THE NOVITEC MCLAREN SENNA:

The Guys at Lumma Design SA have definitely turned this New Generation Audi Q8 into a menacing beast and is now know as the Audi CLR 8 S.

Full wide body kit with Rear lip spoiler and rear roof spoiler. It has definitely change the complete appearance of the Audi and is a head turner for sure!!

Photos from Cartastrophe's post 16/04/2020

Mercedes-Benz has yet again done it!!!

The New A45S is truly a work of art and not a car to be underestimated. Mercedes-Benz has been able to produce an amazing 310kw and 500nm of torque out of their 2.0-litre 4-cylinder Turbo motor.

Those specs see the little Merc leave the Hot hatch brigade and move towards the hyper hatch realm.

It rushes from 0-100 in just 3.9 seconds and will carry on bullet towards a whopping 270km/h.

A true masterpiece, the competition is going to have to step up their game to compete with the beast.😳

Probably the most sensitive comparison to talk about on the automotive scene to date. The New MK5 Toyota Supra vs the old MK4 Toyota Supra.

I know there is alot of ongoing talks and arguments on this specific topic stating that the new MK5 Supra will never compare to the old MK4 Supra as it is not a real Supra(BMW in disguise). Toyota instead of designing a new 3JZ motor they borrowed a B58 motor from the German manufacturers witch is the modern equivalent of the old 2JZ.

Power wise the New MK5 Supra produces 250kw and 500nm of torque from it's 3.0l straight six turbo motor and a limited top speed of 249km/h, where is the old MK4 only produces 206kw and 431nm of torque from its 3.0l twin-turbo straight-six 2JZ GTE with a limited top speed of 250km/h.

Considering development of technology and how it has grown in the last 20 years it is very difficult to compare on paper but I think Toyota did not do a bad job on the New MK5 Toyota Supra. It is a modern day sports car of note and definitely a force to be reckoned with in its class.

What are your thoughts on this?

Ferrari's Tradition never fails: The Ferrari 812GTS is the predecessor of the legendary Ferrari 365GTS.

While the 1960's sensation was powered by a 352hp, 4.4-litre Colombo V12 the new 812GTS is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 that produces 588kw and 718nm of torque. With a front mounted engine powering the rear wheels it will reach 0-100km/h in only 3 seconds and a maximum speed of 340km/h.

It is Ferrari's first true convertible in over 50 years.

Personally I think the wait was well worth it😍

Check out the 1 of 1 Bugatti Chiron dubbed "Zebra" as per his unique spec with the Blue "Zebra" like stripes. A true masterpiece and ultimate precision engineering. Definitely one of a kind🤤🤤 Spotted in Qatar.

The 8.0L qaud-turbocharged W16 motor has a peak power output of 1,103kw(1479hp) at 6,700rpm and 1,600nm of torque. Reaching 0-100km/h in a astonishing 2.5 seconds, sending all the power to all four wheels through a Haldex All-wheel-drive system and the top speed of the Chiron is limited to 420km/h.
