VW Eos, Bentley Continental Flying Spur, Porsche Cayman S: Best cars in South Africa

Bentley Continental Flying Spur
Here's another entry for the best cars section and I guess every car has won its award now.
Best Sports Car

For the price of the F430, you could purchase two of our selection - the Porsche Cayman S - and have cash left over. So from one perspective, the Cayman's a deal, but it's much more than that. It's also the perfect blend of performance, quality, and luxury that people expect from this storied brand. We simply couldn't get enough of the great sounds the Porsche six made from just a few inches behind your head.

Best Uber Alles Car

We found the Bentley Continental Flying Spur powerful, luxurious, and a joy to drive. Under the hood is a knockout 6.0-liter, 410-kW V-12 that kicks the Spur to 100km in 4.9 seconds - just right for fleeing the paparazzi. If you want to show the world you've made it but aren't up for a Rolls, the Flying Spur's the way to go.

Best Hardtop Convertible

Tight, bright, and fun to drive, the Volkswagen Eos easily won in this category. We very much like cars with a nice balance of handling, power and quality construction. The Eos had all these, and an easy-to-take base price of $27,990. And it doesn't look like a Beetle.

Bugatti Veyron: Sport version with 1200 bhp planned!

Bugatti Veyron
We found this piece of information in a totally unrelated article in a local German newspaper, discussing some silly ideas about speed limits on German highways.

But here's the breaking news: Bugatti seems considering to build a sport version of the Bugatti Veyron with 1200 bhp! Wow, we are impressed.

Here's the original quote as well as the translation, done by our friends from Google:
Das Spitzenmodell von Bugatti, das 1000 PS hat, solle demnächst in einer Sportversion mit 1200 PS auf den Markt kommen. Resch: „So starke Motoren sind in der Formel 1 nicht zugelassen.“ Auch Daimler-Chrysler plane für die E-Klasse einen knapp 700-PS-Motor.

The top model of Bugatti, which has 1000 HP, is to come shortly in a sport version with 1200 HP on the market. Resch: „So strong engines are not certified in the formula 1. “Also Daimler Chrysler flat for the E-class one scarcely 700-PS-Motor.


In the same article it was also revealed that Mercedes in working on a 700 bhp engine for its E class.

Porsche Cayman S: Roadtest

Porsche Cayman S
Here's a nice read about one of our favourite cars, the Cayman S. Enjoy!
I have somewhat mixed feelings about the Cayman S. Porsche's intention was to offer a coupe between the Boxster and the 911. The car's lines seem to appeal to enthusiasts, who find the design beautiful. I've heard many people shout ''Wow!''. Personally, I think I prefer the Boxster S. In fact, both have familiar traits, most notably the big fog lights. With its bubble roofline, the car reminds me of the Audi TT.

In terms of storage, there's a generous trunk up front. In the back, space seems limited at first; however, when opening the liftgate, one realizes that a standard suitcase could easily be stored flat and fixed with the cargo net -- out of sight for potential burglars.
