The ZR1 badge has been reserved for the most hardcore of Chevrolet Corvettes since it was introduced on the C3 way back in 1970. And, with this latest generation arriving some 47 years on as the most powerful Corvette ever, the badge is as appropriate as ever. The Corvette ZR1 receives a GT3-inspired aerodynamic package […]
Toyota has given its Land Cruiser 200 more power and a slightly more generous standard specification list, with the updated model now available in South Africa. As before, there are two trim levels on offer: GX and VX-R (the latter renamed from VX). The base model is priced at R999 900 (up R29 000), while the flagship […]
Audi South Africa has released local pricing for the new S4 sedan, which makes 260 kW and 500 N.m thanks to its 3,0 TFSI heart.

The Hennessey Venom F5 has finally been unveiled at SEMA 2017, and the Texas-based firm behind the new hypercar has its sights firmly on Bugatti’s speed record. Just 24 examples will be build, each with a base price of $1,6-million (that’s about R22,3-million). Hennessey says the Venom F5 was “designed and built from the ground […]
While the quirky standard Toyota C-HR with it’s turbocharged 1,2-litre four-cylinder engine offers a relaxed, fun-filled character, this SEMA-bound DG-Spec R-Tuned time-attack version looks to up the ante somewhat. The C-HR R-Tuned represents a completely remodelled (visually and mechanically) offering that nevertheless retains a four-cylinder, front-wheel driven layout. That said, the standard engine has been swapped […]
Kia’s current flagship sportscar, the Stinger GT may look suitably dynamic in its standard guise but the grease monkeys at West Coast Customs were nevertheless keen to offer their own interpretations of this shape for this year’s SEMA show.
