R1 839 400

The Defender is to off-roading what glamping is to camping: it keeps the adventure, but removes most of the hardship.

The ES90 asks a bold question: what if the electric sedan is actually the most logical sedan altogether?

R1 795 000

That's the quiet genius of this car. It doesn't force too much behavioural change as a daily runner.

Review: Changan Deepal S07

R995 900

The Changan Deepal S07 is a 2030-esque 'spaceship' on wheels. But does its plush cabin redeem its overcomplicated tech and iffy ride quality?

296 Delivers Mega Performance

R7 495 000

Ferrari’s plug-in hybrid Berlinetta proves that electrification needn’t dilute the supercar experience. In the 296 GTB, it sharpens it into something faster, smarter and even more thrilling.

Review: Changan Hunter T50 REEV 4X4

R799 900

The Changan Hunter REEV makes a compelling case for new energy bakkies, and compared to what similarly specced mainstream pick-ups cost, its value proposition is solid.

A Convertible GT3? Driving the ALL-NEW Porsche 911 GT3 S/C

A convertible GT car? It sounds like the epitome of an automotive paradox. The Porsche GT department is dedicated to purist driving, so taking the roof off a GT3 seems to go totally off script. We sent Avon Middleton to the heatwave-ravaged Swabian Alps in Germany to find out if Porsche has built an extraordinary piece of engineering, or simply compromised the GT3 formula. This is the new Porsche 911 GT3 S/C (Sport/Cabriolet). Underneath the lightweight carbon fibre and titanium bodywork lies the glorious 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, revving to an unbelievable 9,000 RPM. Paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual gearbox, it promises the same visceral engagement as the GT3 Touring, but with nothing between you and that mechanical soundtrack. Does the obsessive weight-saving programme pay off? Is it worth the R6.1 million price tag over a standard GT3 Touring? Watch the full review to find out.
