After initially launching the Captur into the local market in 2015, Renault South Africa swiftly revealed an updated version in 2017. The second generation has been available abroad since 2019, and it’s finally available in Mzansi. Renault has kept the range short and sweet with just two models; an entry-level Zen, and a range-topping Intens, the latter of which Kyle Kock drove in Durban.

Although it’s my opinion that to get a more realistic idea of the Captur’s true prowess in this hotly contested segment, it would have been prudent to sample the more affordable Zen model. Renault SA saw fit to provide the assembled motoring journalists with the fully loaded Intens which will set buyers back R50 000 more than its entry-level sibling.

Image: Renault

Visually, there’s a sense that the Captur has grown up. Of course, it takes many of its cues from the fifth-generation Clio that arrived locally at the beginning of 2022. The rounded cutesy shape has evolved to include sharper and more defined edges, which is evident in the extremities and on the ribbed bonnet. The lengthened headlamps and taillights also add the illusion of substantial size.

You’d be hard-pressed to visually distinguish between the two, as they share much of the exterior trim, and they both come fitted with 17-inch wheels. The only difference is that the Intense model has a black roof, whereas the Zen’s cap is fully colour coded.

Image: Renault

On the road, the Captur’s standout trait is the flexibility of its turbopetrol motor. Renault’s clever EDC is best left to its own devices as it interprets throttle inputs and determines whether downshifts are really necessary. Durban’s hilly roads were dispatched with minimal fuss. It’s important to note that the Captur’s little 1,3 unit makes 270 Nm – the most when compared to all of the rivals it’s up against.

With many inclines thrown at it, which comprised of zipping through suburbs and stints on the motorway, I was sceptical about Renault’s claim of an average fuel consumption 6,6 L/100 km. Further into the trip, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the trip computer in my Intens was hovering at around 6,9 litres/100 km, particularly since I wasn’t exactly trying to drive economically.

Image: Renault

Inside, the Captur in Intens specification obviously has all the niceties. What sets it apart from its Zen sibling are add-ons I suspect many South Africans would tick off if buying new, such a larger infotainment screen, height adjustment on the driver’s seat. The lane departure warning, which can be adjusted for intensity through a menu, and blind spot warning I’m less worried about, but for the bulk of buyers it might come in handy. A non-negotiable is the auto-hold brake, which isn’t available on the Zen.

Overall, the Captur is very difficult to fault, as are many of its peers. It has to be good because South Africans are lining up to buy cars in this segment. I look forward to not just road testing this vehicle alone, but doing a direct comparison with its rivals in an upcoming issue of CAR.

A model of many firsts, Lamborghini’s unruly V12-powered hybrid Revuelto will also become the most powerful Raging Bull ever, with outputs of 736 kW from a motor that sings its tune to 9 250 r/min!

Image: Lamborghini

Ladies and gentlemen, a day that comes around roughly once a decade is here since Lamborghini has just unveiled their all-new V12-powered Aventador successor. Previously known as codename LB744, this unruly Revuelto is a car of many firsts for the Italian automaker.

Related: Lamborghini unveils first ever V12 HPEV codenamed: LB744

Diving straight into the powertrain, the two-seat flagship doesn’t deviate too far away from the traditions of V12 power for the Raging Bull however this time around, Lamborghini has opted for hybrid assistance in the form of electric motors and a small battery. The reason we are all here though is for that 6,5-litre naturally aspirated V12 which sings to 9 250 r/min and can produce 598 kW all on its own. But, as was mentioned in the opening paragraph, total maximum outputs are rated at 736 kW since two electric motors sit on the front wheels while a third supplements the rear axle, placed between the 8-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. The transmission in itself is another first for the automaker as is the 3,8 kWh battery pack crammed within the engine bay.

Tiny battery right? Yes, it can only manage around 10 km of FWD EV-only driving if fully charged and the behemoth motor would take around 6 minutes to get it back to the full state of health. Yes again, when in EV mode, the Revuelto silently moves forward courtesy of the front wheels only.

Image: Lamborghini

Moving outside the mid-mounted engine bay, we get a glimpse of the natural evolution of what Lamborghini’s design language is all about. Angles, intersecting bodylines and an overall striking silhouette make this instantly recognisable as a Raging Bull flagship. Taking inspiration from several of its antecedents, there is a clear link to Sian, Huracan, Diablo and Murcielago with the exterior styling of the model.

Related: Polizia di Stato and their Lamborghini Huracan saving lives

Living in an age where the dark arts of aerodynamics play a crucial part in the design of a high-performance hypercar and closer inspection of the Revuelto will reveal that it is not exempt. With air dams, funnels and diffusers located all around the car aiding improved airflow for downforce and keeping the massive engine breathing, Lamborghini designers have gone to town to ensure that the functionality of it all cohesively filters into the daring styling known of the Italian firm. Just look at that massive rear diffuser hiding even larger optional 355/25R22 tyres!

Image: Lamborghini

Time to jump inside, pull the doorhandle and marvel at the scissor doors opening upwards, pioneered by the Revuelto forefather; the Countach. Driving purists will appreciate that despite three interior screens, none of the festooning digital facades detracts the driver away from crucial duties. Behind the steering wheel is a 12,3-inch display which gives important driving information. To its flank is an 8,4-inch screen mounted portrait and the passenger, or co-pilot gets a horizontal 9,1-inch screen that can control climate control, music and navigation. Co-pilot remember? The logical decision with all of this is to ensure the driver does just that, an unruly 736 kW is nothing to take lightly.

Image: Lamborghini

Speaking of unruly, that is where the name is derived from in Spanish and for a change, it is a befitting one for the car that is set for. The Revuelto will arrive towards the end of the year with pricing expected closer towards then.

Lancia recently teased a coupe-looking model, waiting to be unveiled in their Multiverse. Could this then, signify the return of a historic moniker like the Stratos to the struggling automaker?

Image: Lancia

#MakeLanciaGreatAgain – a social media phrase that has been making the rounds for the better part of a decade. World Rally Championship titles, Formula 1 single-seat winners and some other gems in between. The Italian automaker litters dates in history and motorsport, with some truly revolutionary ideas and models that aided their bid to become one of the most successful motorsport manufacturers of all time. But that is all in the past. Lancia now contends sole markets with a platform-shared model but there have been ambitious plans under Stellantis ownership to kick-start the automaker and make them great again… words that delight so many enthusiasts and aficionados.

What better way to do this than by riding the appeal of their eternal motorsport success? While we know that a Ypsilon replacement will arrive next year with a flagship model expected by 2026 and a Delta EV planned to go on sale by 2028, Lancia has quietly teased a slender-looking model, virtually. This has been done because Lancia has been named the Official Metaverse Automotive Brand of the 2023 Metaverse Fashion Week which kicked off on the 28th and will run until the 31st of March.

“I am proud to announce that Lancia will be the Official Metaverse Automotive Brand of the 2023 Metaverse Fashion Week. Thanks to the participation at this exclusive and world-famous virtual event, Lancia will enter into the Metaverse.” stated Raffaele Russo, Managing Director of Lancia Italia.

What is seen here is a virtual rendition of the Via Gattamelata showroom in Milan. The showroom was the first step on the way to the implementation of Lancia’s new Corporate Identity which will take the automaker into the new age and into other European countries outside of Italy.  For now, Lancia is preparing to expand outside of their native country by having 70 showrooms in 70 important cities throughout Europe within the next several years. Along with it are these images that demonstrate a sleek-looking silhouette that could potentially be the rebirth of a glorious nameplate like the Stratos or Fulvia. Unfortunately, even in the virtual world, the Lancia will not be revealed during the 2023 Metaverse Fashion Week but rather on the 15th of April.

What we know for certain is that Stellantis plans on evolving Lancia into an EV-only manufacturer by 2028, which means that this unrevealed coupe or sports car could be one last hoorah for the Italian automaker, honouring its great petrol and turbo-powered legacy! Being under the Stellantis umbrella, there is a high possibility that whatever lies under those virtual coverings will share a platform with one of its stable mates, potentially even the superlative Giorgio platform of the Giulia if it is intended to be a sporty offering. Time will tell, stay tuned on the 15th of April.

Over the past several weeks, global branches of the Blue Oval have been adding tweaked derivatives of the Ford Ranger bakkie into their lineups. Europe has been the latest to receive a new XLT-based iteration; titled the Ford Ranger Tremor.

Image: Ford

The Ranger Tremor has seismically arrived in Europe, using the XLT as a foundation for some bespoke add-ons to create a more appealing and rugged counterpart. The suspension has been borrowed from the Wildtrak X, which means it has a wider track and heightened ground clearance than the standard model. Looking closely at the images will reveal that the chunky tyres and added width mean that the bakkie has received new black-plastic fender arches.

In addition to the exterior aesthetic, Boulder Gray details litter the aesthetic and contrast the paintwork while a tubular sports bar lines the loading bin. Also included are aluminium side steps and twin front tow hooks giving the bakkie the demeanour of its more off-road capable Raptor sibling. Side steps have also been positioned on the lower extremities between the rear bumper and rear wheel. Inside, the bakkie has been equipped with vinyl along the seats and floor that is impervious to water.

Under the bonnet is the 2,0-litre turbodiesel inline-four that churns out 150 kW and 489 N.m. All of this is channelled to a full-time four-wheel drive system courtesy of Ford’s 10-speed automatic gearbox. Alongside this Tremor, the left-hand drive European market will also be receiving the Ranger Wildtrak X which made its debut in the Land Down Under last week as a toned-down version of the mighty Raptor.

The new addition to the already sizable lineup is expected to arrive on showroom floors in August although South Africa has no confirmation on whether the Ranger Tremor will be making its way to our shores.

What does it mean to have your car written off? When your car is deemed a write-off by your insurance company, the damage might not seem that severe to you, but it could lie beneath the surface. Navigating through the process can be a stressful experience if you aren’t prepared, so Budget Insurance has put together a detailed guide to help break down the process, explain how an insurance company will evaluate your vehicle after an accident, and why it’s a benefit to get car insurance.

What makes a car written off?

A car written off means that the cost of repairs to the vehicle following an accident or other damage is deemed to be more than the value of the car. In this case, the insurance company may declare the car a total loss and will usually pay the owner the vehicle’s current market value rather than repairing it. This means that the car can no longer be driven and must be sold for scrap. 

What is the car write-off procedure?

After a car accident, the insurer will assess the damage to your vehicle. If they consider the repair cost of repairs uneconomical, then the vehicle will be declared a car write-off. This normally happens when the cost of repairs is high in relation to, or more than, your car’s insured value.

Related: Does Car Insurance Cover Natural Disasters?

The following will happen for a car written off: 

1. The car will be assessed for damage following the accident
2. The cost of repairs will be estimated and compared to the car’s current market value
3. If the cost of repairs is deemed to be more than the car’s value, the insurer will probably declare it a loss
4. The insurer will pay the policyholder the car’s current market value minus any deductibles or policy limits 
5. The policyholder will sign over the title of the car to the insurance company and sell the car for scrap

It’s the threshold of the cost of repairs relative to the car’s value, which determines whether a vehicle is a total loss. Additionally, some insurance companies have their own internal process to determine if a vehicle is a total loss.

What do I do after a car accident or collision?

If you are involved in a car crash, these are the steps we advise you take:

• Record the date, time and location of the accident
• Note the make, model and license plate numbers of all vehicles involved in the accident
• Collect the personal details (name and ID number) of all drivers involved, including their insurance details
• It’s helpful to get contact details of any witnesses at the scene too. This may help you in the future if there is a dispute
• Contact your insurance company to get authorisation for the correct towing company to tow your vehicle [2]. The towing companies that arrive at the scene of the accident might pressure you to use them. If you do not use an authorised towing company (and confirm with your insurance company that they are, as the tow truck operators might tell you they are authorised) you may be liable for the cost of the towing and the subsequent storage costs of the vehicle

For more detailed information, take a look at What to do in a car accident.

Frequently asked questions about having a car written off

1. How is a settlement figure determined?

The settlement figure is determined by calculating the insured value of the vehicle. [1] The selected value will be calculated by comparing the Trade, Market or Retail prices of similar vehicles, depending on which insurance cover you selected initially, and then taking into account mileage, condition of the vehicle, and any upgrades the vehicle might have had to determine your car’s insured value.

The BetterCar Value insurance option is available from Budget Insurance, an authorised financial services provider with FSP number 18178. If you invest in the BetterCar Value option, your car will be replaced with a younger model with less mileage. T’s & C’s apply.

2. Can I keep my car after it’s been a write-off?

Once the car is written off, you can ask your insurance company to allow you to keep it if it is not financed. If agreed to, the cash settlement will be reduced with the projected salvage value. T’s & C’s will apply.

3. How do insurers determine if a car is a write-off? 

A car can be declared a write-off when the cost of repairs to the vehicle is deemed more than the car’s value. This occurs under the following circumstances:

• The vehicle is involved in a severe accident
• The car sustains significant damage from a natural disaster, like a fire
• The car has significant mechanical or structural issues that make it uneconomical to repair

A hidden gem continues to shine just a couple of kilometers inland of Cape Town’s coastline. You just need to know where to look to behold the glow of a fine piece of motoring history that is still at the heart of racing culture in South Africa.

Killarney Racecourse, located in Milnerton, has been a name synonymous with the South African motoring industry since the first race was held there in 1947. Over the last 76 years, the course has grown in size and glory and the current facility offers a race-track nearly four times the size of the original one.

The famous track plays host to a range of events, offering rally-cross circuits, a drag-strip, a karting circuit, and an oval track. Aside from that, there’s a 4×4 training facility, a skid pad for advanced-driver training and a spinning pitch where many a set of wheels has been put to rest.

The range of motoring means at Killarney are awe-inspiring, but equally inspiring is the development of the course and its strong history at the heart of South African motoring.

Watch as Killarney’s executive manager Des Easom takes us on a tour through the vast facility, which on a full day can take up to 20 000 people.

A few months ago, Ford announced the latest addition to their compact bakkie lineup with the 2023 Maverick Tremor Off-Road Package. This new model is designed for buyers who want to take their off-road adventures to the next level, while still enjoying a comfortable ride in the city. Would it have been a strong unibody contender in South Africa?

Image: Ford

Equipped with the 2,0-litre EcoBoost engine that produces an impressive 186 kW of power and 375 N.m of torque, the Maverick Tremor is built for all types of terrain. The all-wheel-drive system is new to the Maverick lineup and includes a twin-clutch rear-drive unit with a differential lock feature that allows for greater off-road capability.

With five selectable drive modes, this compact bakkie can quickly and easily adapt to different driving conditions, whether on the road, in mud, sand, snow, or even for towing.

Image: Ford

On the outside, the bakkie features a unique grille finish, blacked-out Ford logos, headlamps, taillamps and front tow hooks with signature Tremor Orange accents. For an even bolder look, customers can choose the available Tremor Appearance Package, which includes a Carbonized Gray-painted roof and mirror caps, as well as black side graphics on the bonnet and lower body.

Image: Ford

The unique 17-inch aluminium wheels also feature a new Tremor Orange and dark grey anodized finish, while standard all-terrain tyres ensure improved traction on loose surfaces like sand and gravel. The new lower front fascia with a more aggressive approach angle and steel skid plates also enhances the vehicle’s off-road capabilities.

The bold design of the Maverick Tremor continues inside the cabin. The Black Onyx seats feature stitched Tremor logos and signature Tremor Orange accents, while the centre console, register vents, and door pulls are updated to include the new colour scheme as well.

Being on the market for several months now, it is clear that the Maverick lineup is not expected to ever be offered in South Africa but considering the popularity of the Ranger in the local market, a smaller unibody bakkie could perform well if logically priced within the Blue Oval hierarchy.

Here are some highlights of the day: 

• The sound of high-strung supercars stampeding around Killarney was one of the most notable experiences the morning session had to offer. V10 powered Audi R8s with eye-catching exterior designs to Scribante’s military green 720 kW Porsche 997 that went on to dominate its segment ultimately securing a podium finish. 

Image: 99 Octane

• The CompCare Polo Cup championship returned to Killarney with some of its teams debuting green-horned drivers. The start of the first race was characterized by the unanimous assault on the accelerator pedal. With the majority of the herd barreling towards the first turn, Team Red’s Tyler Robinson struggled to spur her car off the line. Eventually, the four-wheeler was brought back to life, and Robinson managed to rejoin the race. The 14-year-old driver made her debut at the Killarney Extreme Festival and despite a less-than-desirable start, managed to overtake another racer.

• During one of the Global Touring Car races, Josh le Roux’s Audi S3 went off track on the second lap. 
• The Sunbet ZX-10 Masters Cup races were tightened by the pressure applied by Capetonian’s Trevor Westman and David Endicott.

• The Toyota Gazoo Racing SA Cup returned for its second incarnation consisting of a medley of seasoned racers and eager newcomers. Bolstering the fleet, which consisted solely of GR Yaris models in last’s year’s championship sees the addition of homologated GR 86s. The races were led by the journalist Mark Jones with drivers such as Sa’aad Variawa, Kara Hill and Nikki Vostanis showcasing their skill behind the wheel.

The next-generation VW Tiguan has been spied wearing minimal exterior coverings, exposing what a final production version of the model may become. Like what you see?

Image: CarSpyMedia

According to CarSpyMedia, who uploaded the video onto their YouTube channel, these may logically be the final winter tests of Volkswagen’s next-generation SUV. Taking place in Scandinavia, the model would have expectedly been exposed to the harsh elements to ensure all componentry works without fault in the freezing conditions. Taking a closer look at the footage and it becomes apparent that even though exterior camouflage has been removed, this test mule is still sporting some vinyl on both fascias to deceive the eyes. The horizontal line between the C-shaped air intakes on the lower extremity of the front fascia are just an optical illusion, closer inspection reveals a grille that does not feed into the flanks.

The same treatment has been imparted onto the rear end with the fake exhaust outlets and rear diffuser. Visual trickery aside, it is safe to say that the front end has undergone the most significant updates from the outgoing model with the headlight housing no longer following the same cohesive lines from the front grille. What powers the model is still vague, after we spotted electrified Tiguan test mules strutting their stuff in the vicinity of Gerotek, Pretoria, there is a high possibility that the model will boast an all-electric derivative. This version is rumoured to be built on the dedicated MQB platform however although the conventionally fueled model may receive some form of electrification in the form of a mild of plug-in hybrid system.

The German automaker has remained tight-lipped on the newcomer although it wouldn’t be impossible for the production version to break cover before the end of the year, setting the SUV up for potential sale by early 2024.

In an unfortunate “wrong place at the wrong time” phenomenon, a Kia Soul came off second best after a rogue bakkie wheel lodged itself beneath the South Korean SUV, thrusting it into the air and a subsequent rollover crash. The outcome is truly harrowing.

Image: Anoop Khatra

Accidents can happen in an instant. This is no different and very few of the most skilled drivers would have been able to prevent this misfortune had they been in control of the Kia Soul. A car should never become airborne but in this scenario, reported by Anoop Khatra on Twitter going into the weekend, the South Korean SUV managed to miraculously thrust itself a great height into the air, after the front left wheel on a Chevrolet Silverado dislodged itself.

Related: Salesman flips new Ford Ranger Raptor during joyride

To make matters even worse, once the Soul had eventually come to rest after the rollover. The rogue bakkie wheel came rolling back for a second helping, flinging into the SUV before toppling down beside it and bouncing back onto itself. The Silverado managed to careen into the emergency lane on the right hand side however the state of the Kia Soul, which came to rest in the far left lane, seems completely immobile.

All of this was recorded by a Tesla dashcam on the 118 Freeway in California, near Los Angeles. It is also worth speculating that the Silverado bakkie seems to be lifted and widened meaning the owner may have not modified the wheel spacers or lug nuts correctly. Video owner, Anoop Khatra further added that the misfortunate soul in the Kia Soul got out of the SUV without any serious injuries. In the embedded post, Tesla’s Autopilot system is also praised for its ability to swerve and avoid the rogue bakkie wheel.

Can you imagine if your financed car was written off or stolen and only later you realised that your insurance doesn’t cover the full outstanding debt on your vehicle? It’s not a scenario we ever want you to find yourself in. That’s why at First for Women we offer Auto Top-Up Insurance on our car insurance policies. It’s just one of the ways we try to protect you from financial shortfalls that might come your way. 

What is auto top-up insurance, and how does it work? 

Auto top-up insurance, which is also known as shortfall cover, is a type of insurance policy that protects you against any gap in your existing insurance coverage. 

What this means is that if your car is stolen[1] or written off, and the amount you owe is higher than what the car is insured for, auto top-up insurance will cover the shortfall you owe. 

There might be a shortfall because insurers use your car’s market value to work out what to pay if there is a total loss of the vehicle. The car’s market value can be less than the finance you still owe on the car. 

Related: Buying a New Car? Read these Insurance Saving Tips First

Shortfall insurance bridges this gap between the market value of your car and the finance you still owe. 

With First for Women’s Auto Top-Up Plus, there are added benefits that you get from this cover. You can upgrade your policy with a deposit protector. With this, First for Women will either pay back the deposit which you paid at the time of purchasing the vehicle or 10% of the insured value of the vehicle at the time of the claim. This will only happen if the vehicle is a write-off or has been stolen and not recovered. 

Other benefits that you can choose to include are:

• Excess protection

This benefit is for when you have a successful comprehensive car insurance claim if your car is written off. With Auto Top-Up Plus, you are given a designated amount to help you to cover the excess that you will have to pay after making a claim. 

• Installment protection

This benefit helps you pay your car installments while a comprehensive car insurance claim is being finalised. So, if your car is written off and you have made an insurance claim, the Installment Protector Benefit will pay up to two months of vehicle installments until the claim is finalised. 

• Personal accident cover

This benefit covers the policyholder in case you are involved in an accident that results in accidental death, permanent disability, or accidental exposure to HIV. 

Who should get shortfall insurance for vehicles? 

Many people believe that if they have comprehensive car insurance, they will be covered for all eventualities – but this isn’t always the case. Because cars constantly lose value as time goes on, the car’s market value is often less than the replacement value, and you may find yourself with a shortfall if the car is stolen or written off. 

So, for instance, if you bought your car brand new five years ago for R300 000 and it was stolen today, the market value of your car would be much less than the original price you paid. You may still owe R150 000 in finance on the car, but the actual market value, which is what you would get from your insurer, is R100 000. This leaves you R50 000 short. 

While auto top-up might not be necessary for every car owner, especially if their car is old or isn’t financed, it is recommended for car owners who: 

• Have a car that is financed
• Are buying a new car
• Can’t afford the shortfall 

Buying a new car is lovely, but the chance of having a significant shortfall if the car is stolen or written off increases when buying your car ‘out of the box’. This is because a new car’s value depreciates as soon as you drive it off the showroom floor. Some estimate the loss to be as much as 20% within the first few seconds of the purchase. 

Unfortunately, if something happens to your car – it’s stolen or written off in an accident – you will still have to pay the total financing of the vehicle. The way to protect yourself from this happening is to get Auto Top-Up Insurance. It can also assist with monthly installments and with repair costs if the excess is more than you can afford. 

What are add-ons in motor insurance that you should consider? 

Just like Auto Top-Up Insurance, there are several add-on insurance policies you could take out in addition to various car insurance policies. All these have extra benefits that can aid you while commuting on South Africa’s busy roads. 

Some of the typical car insurance add-ons include:  

• Tyre and rim guard insurance

With all the potholes on the roads, the area of your car that is particularly vulnerable to damage is the tyre and rims. With Tyre and Rim Guard cover, your insurer will take care of damage caused by potholes and uneven road surfaces. This cover will allow you to claim the repair and replacement of two tyres and two rims per year. 

• Scratch and dent 

This type of policy repairs chips, minor dents and scratches on the outside of your car. A second option is an inside-out cover, which takes care of damage to both the outside and inside of the car, such as scruff marks and tears.

It’s hard to believe it’s been over a decade since the LP700-4 wowed us all, but the new plug-in hybrid V12 supercar is about to take the world by storm. The LB744, as it’s currently known, is shrouded in secrecy, with Lamborghini only teasing us with hints of what’s to come. But what we do know is that this new supercar is set to be a game-changer.

With up to 13 different driving modes, including an all-wheel drive electric mode, the LB744 is set to push the boundaries of what’s possible on the road. The Citta Hybrid mode is designed for zero-emissions driving and maximum comfort, while the Sport Recharge mode takes things up a notch with lightning-fast battery charging. But it’s not just the driving modes that have us drooling.

In a recent video released by Lamborghini detailing some of the driving modes, we got a glimpse of the interior and it is a thing of beauty. The carbon dashboard and steering wheel trimmed in Alcantara add a touch of luxury, while the vertical touchscreen infotainment system and carbon fibre digital instrument cluster are a sight to behold. Let’s not forget the separate display on the passenger side, which is sure to impress even the most jaded of passengers.

Image: Lamborghini

Just as a reminder, the LB744 is powered by a hybrid powertrain that’s as innovative as it is powerful. The newly developed mid-mounted 6,5-litre V12 is the lightest and most powerful 12-cylinder engine ever built by Lamborghini, and it’s paired with not one, not two, but three electric motors. One of these motors is attached to the double-clutch eight-speed transmission, while the other two are fixed to the front axle, supplying traction to each of the front wheels.

The result? A combined power output of 746 kW and 1000 N.m of torque. That’s enough to make even the most seasoned of drivers weak at the knees. The LB744 is set to make its debut on March 29th and Lamborghini has once again outdone itself with this new supercar, and we can’t wait to see it in action. So mark your calendars, folks, and get ready to witness automotive history in the making. The Aventador’s successor is almost here, and it’s going to be epic!

However, as the automotive industry continues to shift towards hybrid and electric powertrains, the introduction of the hybrid Aventador successor by Lamborghini is certainly a bold move. However, it begs the question of what will become of the older pure V12 and V10 models that have been the backbone of the brand for years.

Speculation runs rampant as to whether the prices of these classic Lambos will remain stagnant or skyrocket in the coming years. Some believe that the prices will stay the same since these models lack the added power of hybrid technology. However, the other faction believes that these pure-engine models will become highly sought-after collector’s items in the near future, with prices expected to reach unprecedented heights due to their rarity and the prestige.

Image: Lamborghini

As the market continues to shift towards eco-friendly powertrains, it remains to be seen how the value of classic Lamborghini models like the Aventador will be affected. Will they retain their value and remain coveted by car enthusiasts, or will they become relics of a bygone era? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, the introduction of the hybrid Aventador successor is a bold step for Lamborghini, and it will be interesting to see how it affects the brand in the coming years.

Introducing Microlino, a groundbreaking and captivating electric scooter car from the innovative urban mobility company; Micro Mobility. With a rich history of pioneering electric kickscooters, Micro Mobility has turned its attention to creating a compact, efficient, and stylish solution for urban transportation.

Image: Micro Mobility

At first glance, the Microlino is nothing short of remarkable. It’s not just another electric car, but a city runabout that is space-saving and effortlessly cool. Despite being a new company, Micro Mobility has succeeded in creating a desirable vehicle, something that even established companies have tried and failed to do.

Microlino’s unique design is inspired by the legendary BMW Isetta bubble car of the 1950s and 1960s. It’s a modern reinterpretation of that classic design, complete with a single refrigerator door in the front and headlights mounted on pods affixed to the sides of the body. These same pods house the side rear-view mirrors, showcasing a thoughtful design that is both stylish and practical.

Image: Micro Mobility

The Microlino is the perfect crossover between a scooter and a car, designed as a solution for urban mobility. Equipped with a 14 kWh Lithium-Ion electric motor that produces 12,5 kW of power and 89 N.m of torque, this electric scooter car can reach a top speed of 90 km/h and can accelerate from 0-50 km/h in just 5 seconds. Its powerful lithium battery provides an impressive driving range of 230 km on a single charge, and it can be charged in just 1 hour using a Type 1 charger, using a regular wall outlet is also an option but that will take a bit longer.

According to Micro Mobility, the Microlino can carry two adults and up to 3 beer crates, making it the perfect vehicle for city errands or a weekend getaway. With its eye-catching looks, peppy acceleration, and more than enough range for a vehicle of its size, the Microlino is not just a car, but a lifestyle.

Micro Mobility has succeeded in creating an electric scooter car that is stylish, efficient, and practical, offering a perfect solution for urban mobility. With its fascinating and captivating allure that has taken the world by storm, its popularity is only set to grow although based on its specific purpose in crowded city centres, it’s unlikely that one of these quiet electro-mobiles will ever make its way into South Africa.

Set to hit showroom floors in the month of March, Ford has now expanded their Ranger lineup by welcoming several derivatives of the Single Cab and Super Cab body styles, including a first-ever Wildtrak Super Cab. Here is everything there is to know about the Blue Oval additions.

Image: Ford

Launched in December last year, Ford states that the next-generation Double Cab model has been a roaring success and will hope that their new additions will continue to bolster the popular nameplate. “The Next-Generation Ford Ranger Double Cab models have been exceptionally well-received thanks to the bold styling, outstanding comfort and refinement, exceptional safety and superb performance,” says Doreen Mashinini, General Manager for Marketing at Ford South Africa.

Interior

Inside, the newest Ranger models have been equipped with an 9,0-inch customisable digital instrument cluster. Adjacent to that is Ford’s SYNC® 4A connectivity and entertainment system measuring at 10,1-inches on the XL and XLT and 12,0-inches on the Wildtrak. This includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as USB-A and USB-C ports on all models. A wireless charger is standard on the Wildtrak and optional on XLT models.

Image: Ford

On the Wildtrak, a dedicated off-road screen displays 4×4 information such as driveline, steering angle, vehicle pitch and roll angles. The same screen is also linked to a 360-degree camera on the model while a rotary dial activates a total of six Drive Modes, including the additional Mud & Ruts and Sand settings. Ranger XLT models are equipped with push-button selectable Drive Modes comprising Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul and Slippery.

All models are equipped as standard with Dynamic Stability Control incorporating ABS, Load Adaptive Control, Roll Over Mitigation, Traction Control, Hill Launch Assist and Trailer Sway Control. The 4×4 models also gain Hill Descent Control, with cruise control standard on XLT models and optional on XL. The Wiltrak goes one step further and includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Lane Centering, Evasive Steer Assist, Reverse Brake Assist and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Also standard on the Wildtrak (optional on XLT as part of the Upgrade Packs) are Lane Keeping System with Road Edge Detection, Blind Spot Monitor with Trailer Coverage, Cross Traffic Alert, Post-Collision Braking and Pre-Collision Assist (with Dynamic Brake Support, Forward Collision Warning, and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection).

Available powertrains

Similar to the Double Cab line-up, the newest additions to the Blue Oval stables will include the 2,0-litre Single Turbo and Bi-Turbo inline-four diesel engines. The former is found in the XL and has outputs of 125 kW and 405 N.m and can be paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox or an automatic with the same number of cogs. Buyers can also specify a choice of 4×2 or electronic shift-on-the-fly 4×4 systems. The XLT includes the same engine paired solely to the automatic.

Image: Ford

Further up the list is the 2,0-litre Bi-Turbo engine which is exclusive to the Super Cab 4×4 models in a choice of XLT and Wildtrak trim levels. A significant bump in power measures in at 154 kW and 500 N.m and is delivered to the wheels courtesy of a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Model range

The XL series features 16-inch alloy wheels in Sparkle Silver fitted with locking wheel nuts, along with a body-colour front bumper and black rear bumper. A towbar is optional, while Ford’s innovative lift assistance for the tailgate greatly improves ease of use. Power adjustable mirrors are fitted along with cloth seats, full carpets, all-weather rubber mats for the driver and passenger, and a 12-volt socket in the centre console bin.

Customers have the option of choosing from five XL Upgrade Packs which provides increased cosmetic and functional enhancements including chrome trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rear-view camera with park distance sensors, cruise control and 17-inch rims with either all-terrain or all-season tyres, and a specially developed off-road pack with steel underbody protection for the front, engine and transfer case, a plastic fuel tank guard and 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with all-terrain tyres.

The XLT boasts the C-clamp LED headlamps with LED daytime running lights, front grille with a chrome centre bar, and body-colour treatment for the mirrors, door handles and rear bumper. A spray-in bed liner with integrated 12V power socket adds further practicality to the load compartment. The XLT is also equipped with side steps and a towbar as standard.

Prowling along European roads adorned in obstructing camouflage, the new Ferrari hypercar test mule has frequently been spotted on camera.

Image: Varryx

Ferrari’s LaFerrari has for some time held the title of the firm’s only hypercar, and since its inception, no other hypercar offering has graced the Maranello lineup, until now.

Rumoured to arrive in 2025 with production set for the third quarter of 2024, the LaFerrari successor has been spotted in regular test rule guise with notable physique traits such as the gaping from air intakes, staggered side air intakes contouring a geometric flank, high-riding haunches, a billboard-sized rear wing stretching from one hip to the other, twin-exit exhausts similarly styled to the rival firm’s STO offering curtailed by taillights similar to those found on the 296 GTB.

As with any Maranello-bred performance car, specs and other information have been kept under lock and key. As the successor to a nameplate steeped in automotive prestige, the LaFerrari’s performance will be a benchmark that the anticipated runner-up will need to live up to. When unveiled in 2013, the sultry LaFerrari was motivated by a 6,3-litre V12 producing a total of 715 kW and over 900 N.m. Speculation leads us to assume that the powertrain of the brand’s next hypercar will be a hybridized V8 or V6 powerplant found in recent Ferrari titles. A high power output will be is guaranteed to be on par or greater than that of the SF90 Spider, which has an output of 745 kW!

Rumours suggest that we may see a full unveiling of the firm’s next hypercar may happen closer to the end of this year, with potential customers likely to receive a sneak peek ahead of the reveal. Whispers lead us to believe that the Ferrari hypercar will see less than 1 000 units produced and will serve as the curtain raiser for Ferrari’s XX and Spider, which are set to debut later this decade.

It has taken only a few days for the highly camouflaged Mitsubishi XRT Concept to be rendered without the visual trickery that conceals the exterior aesthetic of the bakkie. Being renders, these don’t serve as an official indication of what the next-generation Triton could look like but whatever is going on here sure seems menacing. 

Image: Kolesa.ru

So without further adieu, here it is. What could very well be Mitsubishi’s next-generation Triton wearing a masculine exterior worthy enough to rival the likes of the most formidable bakkie competition. With the moniker currently in its fifth generation, being on offer for almost a decade, the timing to introduce a new iteration of the long-standing nameplate is nigh. Debuting at the Bangkok International Motor Show in Thailand last week, the production model will be offered for sale in the South-East Asian country ahead of other foreign markets.

Back to the rendering from Kolesa.ru then shall we? The Russian automotive platform was rapid in rendering a potential production model of the XRT Concept, which will presumably be a continuation of the Triton as mentioned. The front fascia boasts the iconic Dynamic Shield design language, which is portrayed on all Mitsubishi models. This includes a split headlight configuration with angular and masculine lines feeding into the fenders and bonnet of the beefy bakkie.

Image: Mitsubishi

Boasting Ralliart stickers, the XRT Concept is naturally endowed with some more rugged exterior components including a snorkel mounted onto the front right A-pillar and a set of spare tyres in the bin. The rollover hoop has also been replaced with a more conventional iteration that would likely make its way to more entry-level models. What has remained however are those chunky-looking A/T tyres which will expectedly serve the Ralliart team in their endeavours in the 2023 Asia Cross Country Rally going forward.

No official specs or information on the model has been provided to the press other than the fact that an updated diesel powertrain will propel the Triton bakkie forward. Rumours suggest that it will arrive with a revised ladder-frame chassis, shared with the Navara which could make this bigger and more practical than before.

Ford hasn’t yet revealed any specs of its all-new V8 Mustang GT3 car but if their latest video of it strutting its stuff around the final corner in Sebring is anything to go by, it will easily provide aural satisfaction for fans and viewers who watch it in action.

Image: Ford Performance

Close your eyes, and you may be tricked into thinking that the screen in front of you is displaying a sole NASCAR with its V8 grumbling cross-plane crank tune. Open your eyes, and you will see the latest iteration of Ford’s Mustang donned in some muscular bodywork tackling something that isn’t an oval. That is because, Ford Performance took the V8 Mustang GT3 car has officially completed its first test, which had the beefy pony lap the famous Sebring International Raceway in the state of Florida a few days ago.

The video shows the black blur darting across the final corner of the circuit with the suspension bottoming out along the tricky section of track before the driver pins the throttle and aims the front for the start/finish line. It is a soundtrack we can listen to all day and although the model hasn’t debuted yet and information on its inner workings is scarce, it is highly likely Multimatic and Ford have gotten the 5,0-litre V8 to give a little bit more oomph.

Image: Ford Performance

From what we can see, however, the V8 Mustang GT3 wears a brutally wide bodykit and a massive pillar-mounted rear wing. Everything seems more aggressive. The front splitter, rear diffuser, front fender air vents. It all adds to a menacing-looking racecar. The naked body, devoid of a distracting livery and stickers, is composed of a significant amount of carbon fibre as would be expected for a competition car of this calibre.

Although it will not compete in this season, Ford Performance are putting it through a stringent testing regimen which will see a competition-ready V8 Mustang GT3 take to track for the 2024 racing season. In addition to this, the pony will also be converted as a GT4 racer as well as an Australian Supercars Series derivative. Remember, Ford is going racing!

In its many incarnations and forms, the world of motorsports is often gruelling and challenging but more often than not it’s heartwarming and inspiring. In the case of young Oratilwe Phiri, his first bike race happened when he was only four years old and has since been dedicated to becoming a superbike champion.

“My dream is to be a MotoGP world champion one day” -Oratilwe Phiri

Bits of the mini-documentary published in collaboration with “Panther Punch” showcase an even younger Oratilwe buzzing around an open space on a little pocket rocket. Years later, at the age of 14, the ambitious superbike rider has net a total of 62 podium finishes! Consistently aiming to do better, Oratilwe’s parents, Thabiso and Tselane Phiri serve as their son’s main support structure. His father, Thabiso Phiri, explained that” I’m his mentor, his coach, full-time mechanic and mainly, sponsor”. According to his mother, her role is as her son’s “biggest cheerleader”

While the Checkers Sixty60 bikes hold the title of fastest delivery bikes in SA (unofficially), they allowed Brad Binder to steal the spotlight and join Oratilwe Phiri on a couple of laps around Red Star Raceway. The seasoned MotoGP contender piloting the RedBull KTM bike began his superbike racing journey in 2011 and has since achieved five podium finishes. Binder returns for his fourth season in the MotoGP championship, which will see the likes of the seemingly infallible Ducati-backed teams.

Ford has just unveiled the latest addition to their lineup of electric vehicles – the all-new Explorer EV which boasts a unique blend of German engineering and American design.

Image: Ford

That is correct, the Blue Oval has used Volkswagens underpinnings for their newest addition since the model is built on the same MEB platform as the Volkswagen ID.4. That has been done for the Ford Explorer to mark the beginning of a new era for the automaker in Europe, with room for up to five passengers and an emphasis on adventure, this mid-size crossover is aimed squarely at families.

On the exterior, the Explorer features an aerodynamic design that pays homage to the iconic American SUV but with a modern twist. The bold “shield” design replaces the traditional grille, giving the Explorer a more aggressive look. Up front, the blanked-off grille is home to Ford’s blue oval badge, flanked by angular LED headlights that add visual width to the vehicle. Large wheel arches and unadorned flanks complete the look, with blacked-out pillars that give the impression of a floating roof.

Image: Ford

Inside, the Explorer’s five-seat cabin is a departure from Volkswagen’s MEB-based electric cars, with a large 14,6-inch touchscreen infotainment system that runs the latest Sync software. There’s also a 5,3-inch instrument display for the driver behind the steering wheel. Standard features include power-adjustable front seats with heating and massage functions, as well as a sound bar with 10-colour ambient lighting.

Image: Ford

Other available features include a panoramic sunroof, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, a power tailgate and a heat pump to warm up the cabin. To give the Explorer its own unique driving character, Ford has equipped it with a tuned steering system and suspension. The front MacPherson-strut and multi-link rear suspension system were developed by Volkswagen but with new spring and damper rates, unique bushings, and low rolling-resistance tyres.

Image: Ford

Three versions of the Explorer will be available, starting with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant that boasts 250 kW of power and an estimated 490 km of driving range from a 77 kWh battery. There’s also an entry-level rear-wheel-drive model with 125 kW and a 52 kWh battery that can travel 350 km on a single charge, and a mid-grade rear-wheel-drive version with 210 kW of power and a 77 kWh battery that can go up to 540 km on a single charge.

The battery packs are shared with equivalent Volkswagen models, but the 210 kW and 250 kW motor layouts are unique to the Explorer. The 2024 Ford Explorer electric SUV is expected to arrive in European showrooms at the end of this year. That being said it is destined for foreign markets only and it is highly unlikely that the electrified model will serve in Ford South Africa’s lineup during its life cycle.
