Dubai. The concept study, presented during the 70th birthday of the sports car manufacturer, will be produced as a limited special edition: Porsche has decided to start producing the purist Porsche 911 Speedster in the first half of 2019. Exactly 1,948 units of the open-top two-seater will be built.
Sprint Review: Honda Civic Type R
One crazy car with wings ‘n fins, lots of information in short paragraphs.
What you need to know: The old Type R is dead, long live the new Type R! When Honda shocked the world with crazy turbo power in their new hot Civic, they did so (locally) with the spaceship hatchback body. Now though, for reasons I’m not sure about, they’ve killed that model off in favour of this sedan / fastback car.

Tested: 2018 Renault Sandero Stepway Plus
The strange union
Renault is a strange old brand. It started just a few months shy of the year 1900 and has always danced to its own tune. They’re reasonably big on motorsport but never bothered much with luxury cars. At some point they aced all EuroNCAP crash tests but still focused on affordable transport for the masses; like this Sandero Stepway.
Padtoets: 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.0T Super Q4
Die kompakte SUV-mark (Sportsnutsvoertuig) raak ál hoe meer versadig met elke vervaardiger wat deesdae probeer om hul stempel af te druk. Alfa Romeo is ook een van die nuutste vervaardigers wat hierdie mark probeer betree met hul nuwe ‘luukse’ SUV.
Lineage: Volkswagen Citi Golf
It’s a well-known fact that Volkswagen of South Africa built a modernized version of the original Golf (“Mark 1”) right up to the point where it couldn’t cope with safety and emissions standards. The Citi Golf lived from 1984 to 2009 as a youthful and affordable mode of transport in southern Africa. NamWheels gives you some details:
Padtoets: 2018 Haval H6 C Luxury
Met ‘n Haval deur Trawal na Wallekraal!
Soos die Amerikaners se invloed in Afrika afneem, neem die Chinese s’n by die dag toe. Kyk maar na die nuwe treine, paaie en brûe in ons buurlande en nou ook motors op ons eie land se paaie. Dan praat ek nie eens van televisies en ander elektroniese toerusting nie.
Padtoets: 2018 Toyota Prado Land Cruiser VX-L
Junie 2018 was ‘n uitstekende maand vir Toyota, met dié vervaardiger wat kop-en-skouers uitstaan bo enige ander vervaardiger in terme van verkope. Hierdie is wel te danke aan die Fortuner en Hilux se goeie verkoopsyfers, maar ook die van die veel luukser Prado reeks.
Schnellbericht: 2018 Mercedes-Benz X250d
Ein heiß-erwarteter Bakkie, viele Details in kurzen Absätzen.
Was Sie wissen sollten: Mercedes ist scheinbar am rückwärtsrudern und Notfall-Treffen wegen der neuen X-Klasse. Egal was sie tun, egal was irgendjemand sagt oder schreibt, alle Menschen erwähnen nur, daß sie auf einem Nissan basiert. Navara mit Mascara. Und nichts, nichts anderes zählt.
Padtoets: 2018 Suzuki 1.2 GL
Die goedkoop wenner
Onlangs genooi na die nuwe Suzuki Swift se bekendstelling in Durban, was ons aangenaam verras met die nuwe Suzuki Swift. Steeds bekend as een van die voorlopers in die goedkoper voertuig mark, bied die Swift nou meer teen ‘n beter prys. Met ‘n prys onder die R190 000 merk, is die Swift ‘n goeie alternatief vir alle ouderdoms groepe.
