The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance is a car that bends logic. On paper, it delivers 805 hp (600 kW) and 1,420 Nm of torque, enabling it to sprint to 100 km/h in just 2.8s (managed 2.75s). Yes, that is quicker than the AMG One hypercar, which boasts over 1,000 hp.

At its core, it packs a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 paired with a rear-mounted elec motor. The motor is linked to a 2-speed gearbox and a mechanical limited-slip diff, fed by a small 6.1 kWh battery that provides a token 12 km or so of EV range. In practice, you'll never bother plugging it in, as a quick stint in Race mode sees the battery shoot up to 100. The system is designed less for economy and more for relentless shove, with the motor acting as a booster rocket when the V8 calls for backup.

The result is ferocious. Plant your foot, and the car lunges forward with a violence that's both thrilling and unnerving. The extra weight has not dulled down the drive by any means. On a curvy piece of tarmac, the car is incredibly well-balanced with loads of grip and is actually quite forgiving too.

Not everything is perfect, especially when you consider it is meant to be a Grand Tourer. Boot space shrinks from 321 litres to just 182, and the rear seats are little more than luggage space.

Should you find yourself in this beast daily, you would probably be able to live with it. The ride, while firm, is compliant at low speeds, and rear-axle steering makes city driving very manageable.

The cabin is classic AMG with leather, Alcantara, and carbon fibre accents, as well as an 11.9-inch touchscreen filled with an overload of information and telemetry to geek over.

It is priced from R4.27m, which makes it the 2nd most expensive Benz you can buy in SA, but you do get the bragging rights of it being one of the quickest cars on sale.

Ford Drops the Bi-Turbo: Reliability or Realignment? The Flatbed Slay Queen Gets a Makeover!

Ford South Africa just dropped some big news about the Ranger and Everest line-up and let’s just say, the “Flatbed Slay Queen” might be getting a new personality. 👀

Starting 2026, Ford is saying goodbye to the 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel yes, that one and rolling out a fresh 2.3L EcoBoost petrol engine, alongside updates to the 2.0L single-turbo diesel and expanded availability of the 3.0L V6 turbo diesel.

Now, Ford’s official story is that this is all part of a “refined, future-focused lineup” to meet customer needs. But for those of us who’ve seen a Ranger catching a ride home on a flatbed, you can’t help but wonder if this is less “future-proofing” and more “damage control.” 😅

Here’s what’s new under the hood:

🔥 2.3L EcoBoost Petrol – The same motor seen in global Ford models, tuned for Ranger and Everest. It makes a healthy 222kW and 452Nm, paired with the 10-speed automatic. Expect smoother power and fewer diesel drama moments.

🛠️ 2.0L Turbo Diesel Upgrade – Now with a new timing chain (finally!) for better durability. The same 10-speed box gets updated calibration, and it’s coming to the more affordable XL and XLT models.

💪 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel – The big boy is coming to more trims soon. Ford’s keeping details under wraps for now, but it sounds like they’re spreading the V6 love.

Ford says this all positions them for the “future” we just hope that “future” doesn’t include as many tow trucks as the past. 😂

All jokes aside, the new lineup looks promising. A petrol option with serious punch, a refined diesel range, and some overdue tweaks to reliability could be exactly what the Ranger and Everest need to silence the critics.

Expected to hit the streets in the first half of 2026, this could be the redemption arc for Ford’s beloved and sometimes betrayed bakkie fans.

So… what do you think? Is Ford fixing its flops or just remixing the same tune?

Because to be honest i love how this car looks, and really considering one 🤣🤣👌👌.

1975 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale

Marcello Gandini designed the production Lancia Stratos HF at Bertone as the first automobile purpose‑built for World Rally Championship competition. It debuted at the 1971 Turin Motor Show, just one year after Gandini’s radical Stratos Zero concept stunned audiences.

The compact, wedge‑shaped body featured a vast wraparound windshield that offered outstanding forward visibility and became one of the most recognizable design elements in rallying history.

To satisfy Group 4 homologation requirements, Lancia built approximately 492 examples of the road‑going Stratos HF Stradale between 1973 and 1975. Each was powered by a mid‑mounted 2.4‑liter Ferrari Dino V‑6 producing 187 horsepower, paired with a five‑speed manual gearbox.

Weighing only about 2,161 lb (980 kg), the Stradale could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in roughly 6.5 seconds and reach a top speed of around 143 mph.

Competition results were extraordinary. The Stratos secured three consecutive World Rally Championship Manufacturers’ titles from 1974 through 1976, and continued to win as a privateer entry well into the late 1970s, including a Monte Carlo Rally victory in 1979.

Final assembly took place at Lancia’s Chivasso plant, with bodies produced by Bertone in Grugliasco—a fitting collaboration between Italy’s most daring design house and one of its most successful racing marques.
