Croatian electric supercar-maker, Rimac, has announced that it will be taking “a controlling stake” in Bugatti. The joint venture will be called Bugatti-Rimac and will see the development of the next Bugatti Chiron.

The pictures of the refreshed Volkswagen Polo GTI have been revealed on LinkedIn by the brand's CEO of Passenger Cars. VW promises a powerful TSI engine that will likely gush out 152 kW -- up from 147 kW! What are your thoughts?

Spending my entire day at the helm of the already sold out @FordSouthAfrica Mustang Mach 1 auto. All 90 units destined for SA are gone. - R1 182 100 Manual - R1 203 800 Auto 🐎 338kW/529Nm A superb offering that commands a serious attention. #MustangMach1

The new @HondaSA Fit is launching in Mzansi and I am out in the cold Western Cape sampling it. Two engine options and four trim levels on offer. The powertrain consists of a normal 1.5-litre petrol and a hybridised unit. It’s priced from 319k to 469k. #FindyourFit

Spent bits of my afternoon flexing the muscles of new @nissanza Magnite in Acenta Plus guise. A great proposition in the stable and while the powertrain isn’t the smoothest, its pricing of 282k is an attraction. I also think it looks good in this white hue worn by my test unit.

Look! The refreshed @CitroenSA adds a bit of style and colourful dose in the compact hatch stable tranche. It’s charming and stylish. The 1.2-turbo petrol with 81kW plus a 6 AT deliver adequate shove. If you’re into French offerings, this is a pretty face. It’s R324,900.

In times where SUVs are preferred family haulers, the @PeugeotZA 3008 in GT trim is done properly. Offers a neat handling prowess while the interior quality remains peerless. In terms of styling cues, be the judge and tell me what you think…but I find it enchanting.
