The next-generation Mazda MX 5 is currently scheduled to debut at the 2014 New York Motor Show to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original MX 5 Miata which was launched in 1989.
The two-seater roadster will apparently launch with a new lightweight SKYACTIV chassis that will weigh a lot less than the previous model and will feature the brands Kodo design language.
The sports car is expected to weigh around 1100 kg and will additionally be built to support either a folding metal top or conventional soft top.
Engine option details are yet to be confirmed, however rumours have suggested that the 2015 Mazda MX 5 will be powered by variants of the Japanese automakers SKYACTIV engines.
That includes a naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder that develops more than 74 kW and 150 Nm of torque, as well as a 2.0-litre SKYACTIV-G engine.
Alongside the display of new chassis will be iconic MX-5 models from the past, 15 in total, many of which are from Mazdas facility in Irvine, California. Since the MX-5 Miata debuted at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, over 900,000 units have been built and sold.
The New York Auto Show takes place on April 16th, more details will emerge then.

2014 Porsche Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS Unleashed With More Power
Porsche has taken the wraps off two of its most powerful and fastest mid-engine sports models for the 2014 model year – the Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS feature uprated engines as well as minor improvements to the exterior.
Two new top models with higher performance
The six-cylinder boxer engines fitted in the new top models are based on the 3.4-litre engines from the Boxster S and Cayman S. However they deliver an additional 11 kW so the Boxster GTS is rated at 243 kW while the Cayman GTS packs a 250 kW punch.
In addition, the torque figure has also increased by 10 Nm to 370 Nm in the Boxster GTS and 380 Nm in the Cayman GTS, while the Sport Chrono package comes as standard on both models.
Fitted with the optional double clutch transmission (PDK) and the active Sport Plus button, the 2014 Porsche Boxster GTS sprints to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, while the Cayman GTS is 0.1 seconds faster. The Boxster GTS equipped with the manual six-speed transmission and can hit a top speed of 281 km/h whereas its coupe sibling can do 285 km/h.
The new top models are the first mid-engine two-seaters from Porsche to be certified according to the Euro 6 standard, and with this measuring method they achieve an overall fuel consumption with PDK of 8.2 l/100 km (9.0 l/100 km with manual transmission).
Both cars come standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), 20-inch alloy wheels borrowed from the 911 Carrera S and wrapped around with 235/35 front and 265/35 rear tyres, as well as blackened bi-xenon headlights along with updated front and rear bumpers. Inside, the models both feature sports seats and leather upholstery with Alcantara trim.
The new 2014 Porsche Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS models are available in South Africa for order as of now, with first units being delivered in May 2014. Basic retail prices will be announced soon.

Ferrari 458 Driven
Ferrari is regarded as one of the ultimate car brands and when Viglietti Motors offers you a chance to sample some of Maranello’s finest at short notice on a race track, you don’t hesitate and immediately say yes to the invitation.
This was my exact situation last week and thanks to some careful planning, I found myself at Kyalami race circuit on a Monday morning. Awaiting my attention were two Ferraris – the 458 Italia and its convertible sister, the 458 Spider. Both machines were in the traditional Rosso Corsa red and glistened in the morning sunshine.
The 458 is my third Ferrari. I had a luscious blue Ferrari California in 2010, and drove a short distance in a privately-owned 360 Modena in 2006. I’ve been fortunate enough to sample Ferrari’s rivals over the past few years.
The sublime McLaren Mp4-12C in 2013 comes to mind, as does the manic Mercedes-Benz SLS and the screaming Audi R8 V10 Spider in 2010/2011. I had a brief stint in a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera in 2008 too. I’d heard much about the 458 and finally I can put a tick next to its name on my must-drive list.
Ferrari 458 specs
The Ferrari 458 is arguably the most popular product from the Prancing Horse and accounts for the majority of sales in South Africa. With its race-tuned 4.5-litre V8 engine pushing out 425 kW and 540 Nm, performance is very quick. The car will hit 100 km/h in around 3.5 seconds, hit 200km/h in around 10 seconds and go onto 320 km/h. It boasts some fascinating technology such as the F1-style paddle shift gearbox and smart electronic differential which makes the average driver look rather talented.
You can change settings via a switch on the steering wheel and play with modes like Sport, Race and if you’re brave, you can have all the electronic aids off. Given the value of the two cars, Ferrari would only allow us to drive in Race mode and we’d have a Ferrari representative in the car.
Ferrari-supplied race instructor
This isn’t a bad thing as the Ferrari representative was a gentleman by the name of Lorenzo Granai. He’s one of the top instructors and works for the Corsa Pilota, a Ferrari subsidiary tasked with turning Ferrari owners and motoring hacks into drivers capable of handling such machinery.
A brief session staring at Powerpoint slides which showed you the correct lines through corners and it was time to strap on helmets. I’ve driven Kyalami before in anger, but that was in a Volkswagen Golf GTI and a Ford Focus RS – bicycles in comparison to the 458.
Interior
After a quick sighting lap with the instructor behind the wheel, it was time to take the wheel. The Ferrari experience is a special one and I took a few minutes taking in the cabin before setting off. For starters, the rev counter stares right at you. There’s a secondary LED rev counter mounted on top of the steering wheel. The rest of the instrument cluster is digital and completely customisable. Interestingly, the indicators are buttons mounted on the steering wheel as is the start engine button.
Time to drive
Fire up the V8 engine, wait for it to settle and the fluids to warm up, then select race mode. Pull the right paddle to engage first gear, release the park brake and off you go. I exited the pits with the engine ticking over and barely breaking a sweat. Gear changes in race mode are a lot harder than I expected and there’s a lovely mechanical ‘thud’ as the next gear is selected. After one lap and half a lap later I was getting the hang of the Ferrari 458 and trying to remember things like apex and braking points. Once the instructor was happy I wasn’t going to put the car into the wall, it was time to up the speed.
Coming onto the main straight at Kyalami behind the wheel of a Ferrari 458 is a special experience. For the first time I put my foot flat on the accelerator and fired the car up. As the rev needle wound its way round, the LED rev counter came to life… one light, then a second, then a third… Pull the right paddle and ‘Wham’ you’re slammed into your seat as the next gear is engaged. Once the engine reaches 3 000rpm a valve opens in the exhausts and suddenly there’s a deeper, more purposeful noise. As the revs climb, the engine’s note intensifies and it really underlines the raw emotion which this car is capable of inducing.
Ferrari 458 handling
I can’t really comment on the handling prowess of the Ferrari 458 as I was probably exploring about 50% of the car’s abilities. I would have had to have gone a lot faster to be able to comment on whether the car felt stable and composed. That said, I came out of a corner with my foot hard on the gas and the car didn’t feel out of shape at all. That’s the beauty of the e-diff and F1-trac traction control – I was made to feel like a racing driver when in fact, I’m just a passionate car nerd who can barely string five consistent laps together.
Summary
That Ferrari 458 is a formidable machine and I would have liked to have sampled the topless 458 Spider sibling, had it not been for a torrential downpour which washed out the rest of the track session. All in all it was a great re-introduction for me to the Ferrari brand. Viglietti Motors has realised there’s no time to rest on its laurels and is well aware of the competition, and will be doing many more of these media drives in order to promote its products. We look forward to the next one…

2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe Officially Unveiled
Following the introduction of its sedan counterpart last year, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the fastest and most exclusive version of its new flagship the S 63 AMG Coupe ahead of its official debut at the New York Auto Show next month.
AMG lightweight performance
Under the hood of the new S63 AMG Coupe is a twin-turbo V8 5.5-litre engine delivering 430 kW and 900 Nm of torque to all four wheels which makes it 30 kW and 100 Nm more powerful than the outgoing CL 63 AMG.
The two-door coupe accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and reaches an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h. All this power is managed by the companys seven-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission with three modes: “C” (Controlled Efficiency), “S” (Sport) and “M” (Manual).
The power also runs to the ground through an AMG-tuned 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, with a standard 33/67-percent split torque. Stop/start is also standard. The 4MATIC variant can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.
Curve titling function a world first
There is also a world first for series-produced cars in the shape of the curve tilting function. This function allows the S 63 AMG Coupe to lean into bends in a manner similar to a motorcyclist or skier.
The lateral acceleration acting upon occupants is reduced in a way akin to when driving in a steep curve, and passengers sit more firmly. The curve tilting function can be selected as one of three drive modes using the ABC switch; it is active in the speed range from 30 to 180 km/h.
Additionally, the S63 Coupe features the full air-suspension system AIRMATIC with the adaptive damping system ADS PLUS. Specific front axle kinematics including higher camber, a larger anti-roll bar and a stiffer subframe carrier on the rear axle have been developed exclusively for the S63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe.
Sporty looks and design features
The Coupe can further be configured with ceramic composite brakes as well as 20-inch ten-spoke AMG Performance Studio wheels, while on the inside there are AMG sport seats, Nappa leather upholstery and a flat-bottomed three-spoke steering wheel.
Another feature displaying the hallmark AMG look is the high-resolution TFT colour AMG instrument cluster with two animated round dials, as well as the new, innovative touchpad, included as standard equipment, which makes it easier to operate the radio, telephone and navigation system.
The safety and assistance systems are the same as those for the S550 4MATIC Coupe.
The Edition 1 variant
There will also be an “Edition 1” version available which will come with Swarovski crystals in the LED headlights, AMG sport seats upholstered in designo Exclusive Nappa leather, bespoke floor mats, illuminated AMG lettering on the door sill panels, Night View Assist Plus, a high-gloss black wood trim and other goodies.
The 2015 S63 AMG Coupe will celebrate its world premiere at the New York International Auto Show in April 2014.

Bentley SUV Teased On Official Website
The Internet has been abuzz with news of a Bentley SUV for quite some time and finally, the British car maker has confirmed what we all knew and had hoped for.
The Bentley SUV currently remains nameless and will be the fourth model in the company’s line up. It will go on sale in 2016 and will join the Continental GT, Flying Spur and Mulsanne models.
Bentley SUV creates jobs
There’s some nice industry news going on in the background as Bentley (a division of Volkswagen Group) will be investing over £800 million and creating around 1 000 new jobs in the United Kingdom. Bentley has its headquarters in Crewe, England and the factory exports four out of every five cars assembled. The new Bentley SUV will be just like any other Bentley.
There’s a special focus on performance, class, build quality and craftsmanship. Bentley claims its luxury SUV will be the most luxurious and powerful SUV. That’s fighting talk and I think the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz ML and Range Rover Autobiography will have to be on their guard.
Engine power could come from the iconic W12 engine, or the new twin-turbocharged V8. Let’s hope for both options…
New TDI Clean Diesel Engine Confirmed For 2015 Volkswagen Models
Volkswagen has just confirmed it will be offering its next-generation turbocharged diesel four-cylinder engine in the 2015 Beetle, Golf, Passat and Jetta models.
The new TDI Clean Diesel engine
Set to arrive in the second half of 2014, the fuel efficient EA288 engine will replace all the 2.0-litre TDI Clean Diesel engines currently fitted in Audi and Volkswagen TDI Clean Diesel models.
Highlights for the new engine include an output rating of 111 kW and 320 Nm of torque, and according to Volkswagen, this unit shares only the bore spacing with the previous diesel engine that had the same designation.
A number of other changes have been made to help reduce emissions, including use of a complex exhaust gas recirculation system, integration of the intercooler with the intake manifold, which also improves throttle response, and packaging the exhaust after-treatment components close to the engine.
Other efficiency-enhancing changes include low-friction bearings for the camshaft and balancer shafts and piston rings with less pre-tension.
With the introduction of the new EA288 engine, we are excited that our family of TDI Clean Diesel vehicles is continuing to improve and will be even cleaner and more fuel efficient and powerful. Were excited to see the increasing numbers of customers able to enjoy the reliability, durability, fuel-efficiency and power of Clean Diesel engines, said Douglas Skorupski, Volkswagen of America Manager of Technical Strategy.
The new, more fuel-efficient EA288 engine will debut in second half of 2014 and will be available in displacement from 1.6 to 2.0-litres. Fingers crossed these new engines make their way to South Africa.
Renault Sandero for 2014 Launched in South Africa
Renault South Africa has launched the second incarnation of its entry-level Sandero in Johannesburg, and on paper it looks to create a massive stir in the A-segment.
Let’s be honest, the previous generation Renault Sandero was an acceptable product at best. It wasn’t exactly a flagship offering from the French brand and despite it being made in South Africa alongside Nissan products, it didn’t do that well. That’s all in the past now and the all-new Renault Sandero for 2014 is miles ahead of its predecessor.
Gone is the South African production – this new Sandero is imported from Romania. Gone are the lacklustre and dated engines – the terrific 0.9-litre turbo three pot from the Renault Clio 4 is fitted. Finally the interior offers unrivaled specification and safety features for this class. On paper at least, the new Renault Sandero should wipe the floor with its competitors.
Sandero styling
It’s not unpleasant to look at either. Styling is decidedly Eurocentric and modern – something this segment desperately needs. The Sandero’s competition consists mainly of the Volkswagen Polo Vivo and Ford Figo. Both are vehicles which are based on previous generation models, whereas the Sandero is an all-new offering. This segment is hotly contested, with 60 000 vehicles sold each year.
Two specification levels
There are two specification levels available – Expression and Dynamique, with the only differences being the lack of driver/passenger side airbags, alloy wheels, front fog lights, body-coloured door handles, electric side mirrors, electric rear windows and a depth adjustable steering wheel on the bottom Expression model.
Standard features
The amount of specification you get is very impressive. I’ll focus on the 66 kW Turbo Dynamique – the range topper and the vehicle I drove on launch. As standard, you get air conditioning, remote central locking, electric windows all round, radio with CD/Bluetooth/MP3/USB port, radio controls behind the steering wheel, cruise control, speed limiter, eco mode button, leather steering wheel, alloy wheels and front fog lights.
It ticks all the boxes when it comes to safety too as it has ABS brakes, electronic brake assist, electronic stability programme, anti skid regulation as well as four airbags. It’s interesting to note that none of the Renault Sandero’s competitors offer this level of safety…
Renault Sandero powerplant
Then there’s that engine. The Renault Sandero makes use of the 66 kW / 135 Nm 0.9-litre turbocharged three cylinder motor seen in the Renault Clio. Thanks to its turbocharger, performance doesn’t drop at Johannesburg altitudes unlike its competitors. Performance is good considering the size of the vehicle and there’s a nice little surge of torque after 2 000 rpm. It’s also one of the few engines which sound quite good when you drive aggressively. Drive responsibly and you’ll see under 6.0 l/100km.
Our launch route took us from Lanseria airport through the Cradle of Humankind and then through to Pretoria for lunch. The ride is good, the performance is acceptable and the car really doesn’t feel cheap. Given the large number of potholes we saw on the launch route, it’s reassuring to know the Renault Sandero comes with a full-size spare wheel in the boot.
Servicing and warranty
Finally, there’s a five year, 150 000km warranty and a two year 30 000km service plan thrown in. Some quick research has shown Renault parts have come down in price recently and are able to match Volkswagen and Ford. The dreaded cambelt service (trust me on this, I’m a Clio II owner) has fallen away as both the Renault Clio 4 and new Renault Sandero have timing chains which don’t ever need replacing.
Renault Sandero price in South Africa
In summary, the new Renault Sandero is a great piece of kit. It’s a pleasant drive with every comfort feature you need. It’s remarkably spacious inside and the boot space is worth mentioning. The product is a good one, but I feel the French diamond will put many people off. Those who are brave and buy one won’t be disappointed. The Renault Sandero Expression comes in at R133 900, while the Renault Sandero Dynamique retails for R141 500.
