A few of 2016 most eagerly-awaited sports cars’ local pricing have been revealed. Soon we will be driving the new Porsche 718 Boxster, the first time this range will be equipped with a turbocharged engine. The two models on offer will be the 718 Boxster priced at R797 000 followed by the 718 Boxster S for R870 000. The former will be powered by a 2,0-litre, flat-four turbocharged engine developing 220 kW and 380 N.m, followed by the 2,5-litre unit (257 kW/420 N.m).
We thought the Jaguar F-Type R did a pretty good job at stimulating all the senses, however, Jaguar disagreed and recently released the F-Type R SVR AWD. Priced at R2 149 387 it is a premium of R250 000 above its sibling. The 5,0-litre supercharged engine now delivers 423 kW and 700 N.m.
A couple of weeks ago we drove BMW’s new baby M car, the M2. Offered with both a manual gearbox and a DCT transmission, the M2 will retail for R799 105 and R848 569 respectively.
