There is nobody you’d trust more than four-time F1 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, to introduce the November edition of TopGear Magazine South Africa.
Lewis was the test driver behind Project One and when he says ‘it’s the closest thing to his Formula One car,’ well, we believe him. Minutes after the Frankfurt reveal we grab an exclusive interview with him and unwrap the technical highlights in gorgeous detail.
Another feature in the same vein as ‘Road Racer’ sees TopGearSA drive the first Porsche 991.2 GT3 in South Africa. Is the 4.0-litre flat six the best engine on sale? How raw is it from a 911R? We answer both the questions in one of the year’s great drives.
When www.topgear.co.za first broke news of a 5.0-litre supercharged Ford Ranger Raptor conversion our social media channels erupted with likes and comments – read about SA’s wildest 500kW bakkie built by legendary Ford tuners. Versatility meets mayhem, in a nutshell.
But if fast coupes are more your thing, Audi’s RS5’s clinical speed is pitted against the M4 Competition Pack, AMG C63 S and Lexus RC-F in a colourful R6 million group test while the regular Intake section follows Elon Musk and Tesla’s meteoric rise as a pioneer in the EV race. All this and every new car launched in South Africa in the last month.
Enjoy the read. On sale now.
