Top Gear South Africa: the world’s most entertaining motoring magazine provides entertainment, excitement and information for anyone with a passion for cars and motoring. It appeals to motoring enthusiasts and fans of Top Gear TV alike.November 2019
Countries from around the world fighting it out for a place in the final. Tired legs, expended resources, passion and heartbreak are the name of the game. Forgive us for using the rugby world cup analogy, but TopGear’s TG 24 Hours is about to crown its own winner from a field as diverse and talented as we’ve ever seen.
In this second-to-last edition for 2019, we have a racetrack to ourselves for 24 hours, enough high octane petrol to run fifteen around the clock, spare rubber for skids (photographers begged us) and a twisty dirt track for a WRC car and Ford Ranger Raptor lower the surrounding air quality. We won’t say anything more to avoid spilling any secrets, but it’s an eventful story that dives into delicious details on each page.
As always the magazine opens with the latest news including Ferrari’s latest Spider splendour, a look at the way Mercedes-Benz is approaching the new S-Class and our hilarious columnists speaking their minds about the latest challenges facing the motor car, and the world it is trying to change.
TopGear Drives connects the Velar SVAD to Rover’s first cross-country victory against the Blue Train – although today it’s less of a challenge for the 400kW+ V8 Velar. Did they say Terrain mode or Train mode? New product from Citroen is tested as the brand returns to South Africa and we see if McLaren is ready to enter the Grand Tourer space by driving the new McLaren GT on international launch.
A big thank you to our regular readers, who will have read about each of these cover cars throughout the year, but never at the same time or on the same piece of tarmac. We’re immensely proud to be the first magazine to do so.
Enjoy the read

490.4 kilometres per hour. It doesn’t get more Top Gear than that. We ought to know, because hours earlier we were entrusted to give the Chiron a routine warm-up run to its VMAX of 420kph – an exclusive invitation from Bugatti and resulting highlight that now hangs in our Average Joe’s Hall of Fame. While that feature sweats adrenaline right through the pages, it’s the feature that follows that steals this month’s cover headline - Bugatti’s certified 490kph run. In high speed parlance, the 300mph (480kph) mark has been the holy grail for hypercars and everyone from Bugatti to Koenigsegg and Hennessey have had a crack at it. Now for the first time you can read about the science and controversy that went into this historical achievement from the only magazine that was there to witness it unfold.
Prefer something slower, but more rugged? The wait for Land Rover’s Defender is finally over and apart from all the fleshy details, TopGear took the new Defender to the toughest landscape of all: The Moon. Conspiracy theorists, this one’s for you.
Porsche’s first electric car opens our familiar Trending Section which also includes details on Lamborghini’s first hybrid supercar. Is nothing sacred? The futuristic metal doesn’t end there because we test Audi’s e-tron against the Jaguar I-Pace and Mercedes-Benz EQC in our monthly Drives section.
On the eccentric side, an overnight stay at a hotel modelled fastidiously around the humble Mazda MX-5 where the perks include driving every iteration of MX-5 around Italy’s serpentine roads. You won’t want to steal the shampoo when you see how every detail is lovingly crafted around the paragon of Japan’s two-seater sportscar.
Your October TopGear is once again filled with ambition and diversity that has kept the team on the road all over the world. We know you’ll enjoy their heady efforts and we once again thank you for the support.
Until next month, enjoy the read.
