BMW X5M We all know the M Powered badge, and when it is coupled to their 4 x 4 known as the X5, you know its one of the meanest SUV's you can get your hands on. The team at RGM has been doing their magic on modern vehicles for over 25 years, and have always had a passion for the BMW M powered models. Here our customer wanted to turn his BMW X5M E70 into a real mean machine with custom bolt on performance parts and aggressive looks to match the additional grunt! Upgrades include de-cat Techniflow downpipes with our full stainless steel exhaust (dual-tone) to our enlarged RGM twin hybrid turbo upgrade signed off with our Novatune chip module.

10 SECOND UNTAMED VW GOLF 7R RGMotorsport has blasted its way into the record books, by breaking into the 10-second bracket over a quarter-mile with a street-legal Golf7 R. With an official time of 10.95 seconds and a terminal speed of 203.5 km/h on his third run at the Tarlton Tuner Warz event on Saturday, June 3, we dipped below 11 seconds for the first time. This was achieved in the company’s Golf7 R project car, which acts as both a high-speed billboard and a mobile research and development platform for the Strydom Park tuner’s “Untamed” range of upgrades for Volkswagen and Audi. |

RGMOTORSPORT WHIPPLES THE MUSTANG INTO SHAPE The latest Ford Mustang has cemented its reputation as an iconic performer since its local introduction a year ago, and in that time, has also become a firm favourite for go-faster upgrades. While they haven’t been around as long as the Mustang nameplate, RGMotorsport has been making quick cars quicker for a quarter-century - and has an impressive list of successful conversions to their name. |

YOU’VE HEARD OF FORMULA ONE, BUT HAVE YOU HEARD OF FORMULA E, ASKS ADRIAN BURFORD Hybrid race cars have been around for the best part of a decade, and as road cars for more than twice as long. The Prius population runs into millions and they’re mainstream. Even all-electric cars like the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and the various Tesla models are no longer the stuff of fantasy. Still, if you’re the wrong side of 50, the all-electric race car remains something unusual.

A BAKKIE DESIGNED FOR THE FAST LANE...OF THE AUTOBAHN RGMotorsport has signed off what is quite possibly the fastest double cab bakkie in Africa - a 327kW/545Nm super-truck capable of demolishing the 0 – 100 km/h sprint in 7.1 seconds at the reef, en route to maxing out at 227 km/h. It could also be the first eighth-generation Hilux 4.0-litre V6 to be supercharged on the continent but it certainly isn’t the first Big Six Toyota to benefit from RGMotorsport’s tuning and modifying acumen. The Strydom Park-based business has installed a similar forced induction package on well over 100 of these engines; and V6 FJ Cruisers, Prados, Fortuners, Land Cruisers and Hiluxes have all been through the workshop. |
