The Administration Block was built by Sir Herbert Baker and Francis Ma­ sey and completed in 1900.

The old Power Station at Paardevlei was completed in 1903.

ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE TO BE PRESERVED

Explore Paardevlei’s heritage sites Paardevlei, a mini city-in-themaking, located adjacent to the existing town of Somerset West, is – unknown to most locals – home to a large and fascinating collection of century-old heritage buildings with intrinsic cultural value.

Iconic architect Sir Herbert Baker designed many of the striking structures on the site in conjunction with his long-time collaborator, Francis Masey.

British born-Baker is generally regarded as the country’s most famous colonial architect. He and Masey were is responsible for some of South Africa’s most significant architectural constructions between them, including the Union Buildings in Pretoria, various homes and buildings located at Cape Town’s Groote Schuur (once the official residence of the CapePrimeMinister),StGeorge’sCathedral and the Rhodes Memorial.

They were also commissioned to design a number of administrative buildings and homes for the staff of a Paardevlei dynamite factory by the site’s then owner, Cecil John Rhodes.

Many of the buildings located on Paardevlei Estate were designed in the same year as Baker worked on the

refurbishments of buildings at the Groote Schuur Estate, where Rhodes resided at the time, and included the The Woolsack and Welgelegen residences.

In 1899, Paardevlei was a small, shallow, predominantly agricultural wetland when Rhodes purchased it for his the Beers Consolidated Mines (now known as AECI) and set about converting a portion of the property to a dynamite factory to meet the demands of the gold- and diamond-mining industries. In the ensuing years a number of staff homes and buildings were erected, in addition to a various other culturally significant structures. These have subsequently become an important cultural link to South African’s former urban and industrial landscape.

Of particular significance is a collection of buildings, now known as Baker Square, constructed between 1899 and 1900. These include some of theearliestexamplesofthelegendary Baker and Masey structures found in the Western Cape.

Visitors to Paardevlei will be enthralled by the old Administration Block with its central nibble gable and two distinctive “holbol” gables, (which resembles the entrance of

graveyards (one of Groote Schuur Hospiwhich contains the retal), the Main Office mains of victims of the Block, as well as the cen1914 flu epidemic.)

First-time buyers likely to qualify for home loans The average home purchase price in SA increased by 5,6% to R930 000 in the 12 months to end-January, according to the latest statistics from BetterBond Home Loans.

These figures also show that the average home loan granted during this period covered only 83% of the purchase price. This means most homebuyers still had to come up with a large sum of cash to complete their transactions.

“Fortunately, however, things have generally been much easier for first-time buyers,” says BetterBond CEO Shaun Rademeyer.

“While the average first-time home price also increased in the past 12 months – to R651 000 – the banks were in most cases prepared to finance about 91,5% of that. This meant that the average first-time buyer only had to save a deposit of around R55 000.”

In addition, the group’s statistics show the lower deposit requirements also helped to ensure that about 41% of the 37 000 home loans formally granted through BetterBond in the past year, went to first-time buyers – even though they only accounted for 28,5% of the total value of all the properties purchased with these loans.

“In the previous 12-month period, firsttime buyers accounted for 43% of the formal-

‘‘

ly granted loans and 30% of the total value of properties purchased, but given the fact that there were two interest rate increases last year and that consumers also had to deal with steep fuel, food and utility cost increases, we think the picture is still very good for such buyers,” Rademeyer says.

“First-time buyers are generally young people with less ability to cope financially with rising interest rates and living costs,

While the average first­time home price also increased in the past 12 months – to R651 000 – the banks were in most cases prepared to finance about 91,5% of that. This meant that the average first­time buyer only had to save a deposit of around R55 000.’

and they tend to give up on home purchases much more easily than repeat buyers. So the fact that so many of them stayed in the market during 2014 indicates the strength of demand in this sector – and bodes well for the future of the market as a whole, as they outgrow their first homes and start to upgrade.”

Further encouraging signs for the residential property market in the coming 12 months, he says, are the fact that the total number of home loan applications submitted to the banks by BetterBond was 3,4% up yearon-year at the end of January, and that the global oil price decline will probably enable the Reserve Bank to delay any further interest rate increases until at least the second half of 2015.

“In short, there are currently more prospective buyers in the market, a greater percentage of whom are likely to be able to qualify for home loans.”

Visit retirement expo for specialist advice The Cape’s first Retirement and Lifestyle Expo takes place at NH The Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West from 6 to 8 March.

This expo aims to become the premier retirement and lifestyle expo in the Western Cape and is aimed both at people planning their retirement and at those already retired, seeking a happier, more active, secure and trouble-free lifestyle.

During the early part of 2014, Rob Jones of Shire Retirement Properties shared a concept with Okkie Potgieter that he had been considering for some time – the development of a retirement expo in the Western Cape, organised by the industry members themselves with the assistance of an experienced event organiser. Peter Aspinall of SBS Conferences and Exhibitions was approached and immediately agreed to run the expo.

Several major participants in the retirement and lifestyle sectors in the Western Cape were contacted and immediately warmed to the idea of an expo that delivered what the industry wanted, close to their own developments and at an affordable price.

One of the great things about this expo is that SBS is working with a group of knowledgeable industry experts to guide them and ensure that they produce an expo that meets the expectations of both the exhibitors and the visitors, while keeping the focus on retirement and lifestyle. “There will be no sign of the kind of unrelated, distracting lowquality items seen at previous retirement expos, such as braai-cleaning products and plastic coat hangers, “as seen on TV” gadgets and some very questionable “power saving” devices!” says Rob Jones of Shire Retirement Properties. “This is an expo for people who wish to engage constructively in the very important process of selecting

The Somerset Lifestyle and Retirement Village will be one of the many exhibitors at the Retirement and Lifestyle Expo. a retirement home or lifestyle estate. At the expo, there will be all manner of experts to answer your questions and guide you to an optimal decision.”

The exhibition will focus on: ) Retirement villages and lifestyle estates ) Specialist full-care retirement homes and dementia centres ) Home-based care and support services ) Specialised home products and services ) Home security and surveillance

) Mobility aids ) Leisure and recreation ) Holiday and travel The exhibition will be open on Friday from 10:00 to 17:00, Saturday from 09:00 to 17:00 and on Sunday from 09:00 to 15:00.

The exhibition visitor’ costs will be R50 and includes free workshops and parking.

To enhance visitors’ experience there will be a series of free 45 minute workshops running on the first two days: ) 10:00 - Investments: when is enough,

enough? ) 11:00 - Structuring your estate ) 13:00 - Choosing your retirement lifestyle and property ) 14:00 - Nutrition and health ) 15:00 - Managing Dementia and Alzheimer’s Entrance to the workshops will be free subject to space availability on a first come first served basis.

Sectional title vs. freehold: make your choice Sectional title, freehold or cluster home; what is the best kind of residential property to buy?

According to Trish Luthuli, new business executive at Pam Golding Properties, it all depends on what you are looking for in a home.

“It is important to have some understanding of these different types of properties before you consider buying a home. One kind of property ownership is not necessarily better than another; your choice of home depends upon your needs, where you are in your life and what you can afford.”

Luthuli says a well-chosen residential property of any type remains a sound investment. After a slight setback in 2011, the recovery in house prices in South Africa has steadily gained momentum year-on-year.

Despite a sluggish economic growth rate and two modest interest rate hikes during the course of 2014, the Pam Golding Properties Residential House Price Index, which was launched late last year, registered a healthy average annual growth rate of 6,6% in 2014.

This is a notable improvement on the average annual increases of 5,1% and 3,5% recorded in 2013 and 2012 respectively.

Luthuli says there are effectively only two forms of residential property ownership in South Africa: freehold and sectional title.

Townhouses, simplex or duplex developments, and apartments are

usually owned under a sectional title arrangement. Homes within gated communities may be held under either freehold or sectional title forms of property ownership.

“Freehold is a more traditional form of residential property ownership in which the owner is responsible for all the bills and maintenance of the property, including taxes, insurance, upkeep, security, electricity and water bills.”

Freestanding homes in residential areas are usually held in a freehold form of ownership, as are many properties in gated estates, she says.

The concept of a “cluster home” is often not well understood. In South Africa, a cluster complex is essentially a group of freehold properties that are enclosed by a boundary wall.

Luthuli says there is a wealth of different types of homes available and there is something for everyone. However, home seekers should ensure that they understand their obligations as owners prior to buying any property.

While cluster homes are usually held in freehold, it is important to note that they do represent a somewhat unique form of property ownership, says Luthuli.

She says cluster developments are usually governed by a homeowners’ association with a constitution that is drawn up by elected trustees. Buyers are obliged to become part of the association, pay a levy for security and the mainte-

nance of common areas and facilities, as well as subscribe to the governing body’s rules.

These rules cover operational management issues and may include architectural guidelines, says Luthuli.

“In other words, while a cluster home is owned in a freehold arrangement, the owner may have strong obligations to his or her community. When you buy a sectional title property you are buying exclusive ownership of the unit or section that you have purchased, while at the same time becoming a joint owner of the common property of the development.”

The administration and maintenance of the common property is the responsibility of a body corporate, which consists of all the owners of the townhouse complex or apartment block, who then elect trustees to handle its day-to-day

management, she says.

“Depending on the type of property purchased, you may also be entitled to the exclusive use of a garden, parking space, storage facility and staff quarters.”

Jason Shaw, manager of Pam Golding Properties, says the fact that residents of sectional title communities together contribute to the upkeep of the complex or block, as well as the maintenance of facilities, means that many sectional title developments are able to offer a relatively high standard of living.

He says security remains an important concern for buyers. Both sectional title and cluster developments make security more affordable, allowing access control, perimeter electric fences and other measures to be put in place.

“Living in a secure complex enables a highly convenient lock-up

and go lifestyle that many people appreciate,” says Shaw.

In many cases residents of complexes, estates and apartment developments also value the community living these residences afford, as well as excellent amenities that may be on offer such as clubhouses, restaurants, swimming pools, tennis courts and other facilities.

However, Shaw says sectional title arrangements are not for everyone. “There are property owners who feel that freehold ownership allows them to exercise greater control over the decisions they make about their homes.”

Freehold owners can, for example, make alterations to their property without having to obtain the prior approval of a body corporate or abide by its rules, although it should always be kept in mind that any plans for major modifications to freehold property do have to be approved by local authorities.

Body corporate rules may also in some instances prohibit owners from keeping certain types of pets, which may not suit some people.

Some homeowners’ associations in cluster developments may also place restrictions on certain kinds of pets.

Shaw says freehold properties may offer other advantages for the family. “For instance, they are often set on larger properties than sectional title homes and provide the homeowner with greater privacy, but this does of course depend on the individual property.

Selling a house on a busy road Neighbourhoods can change dramatically over time, and the suburban street that was so quiet when you bought your home may now be much busier and noisier, but that doesn’t mean that no one will buy the property.

There are buyers who may consider a busy road an advantage, depending on what they intend to do with the property.

This is according to Richard Gray, CEO of Harcourts Real Estate, who says there are buyers who may even consider the busy road an advantage, depending on what they intend to do with the property. To some it may spell more visibility for a home-based business or professional practice, for example.

He says there are others who may not even be concerned about the busy road as long as the property is close to shops, schools, public transport and sports venues. There are many young buyers these days who see some traffic noise as a fair trade-off for easy access to the facilities they need, he says.

However, even if you don’t come across such buyers, there are several ways to make your home more appealing, and to ensure a sale.

Gray says from a noise perspective, a con-

crete or brick wall between your home and the road is more effective than a palisade fence, and you may want to consider putting one up.

Other possibilities include creating an entertainment or relaxation area in a part of your garden that is furthest from the road, and installing double-glazing along the face of the house closest to the road, he says.

“But before you go to the expense of doing any of these things, you must know that in all home sales, the factor that has the most pulling power for buyers is the price, so you need to sit down with your agent and set a realistic price in the context of other recent sales in your area, and along the same road.”

Gray says a properly trained and professional agent will not try to suggest that you “test the market” at an unrealistic price level or conceal from you the fact that your home might sell for less than other properties in the area that are similar but located on quieter streets.

On the other hand, he says an experienced agent will know how to market your home effectively by maximising its good features and targeting the most likely buyers.

Know what is included and excluded from a sale Discussing this recently, Barry Fourie, national training manager for the Rawson Property Group, said that both sellers and buyers need to clarify in their minds the difference between permanent and non-permanent fixtures.

“Although quite frequently certain sellers break this rule, it is widely accepted and, in fact, stipulated in South African law that all permanent fixtures are included in the sale of a property and may not be removed by the seller. Any exceptions to this rule have to be put in writing.”

“The simplest way to determine whether an item is a permanent or a temporary fixture is to imagine that the house has been turned upside down – what would then fall off and what

Many disagreements between buyers and sellers of immovable property come about because of a misunderstanding as to what the seller may remove when vacating the property – and what has to remain there.

‘‘

The golden rule therefore is to leave nothing open to doubt or misinterpretation and record all permanent fixtures included or excluded from the sale in the contract.”

would then remain in place?”

“Even this simple test, however, may not be conclusive and it is therefore advisable to list the permanent fixtures the seller intends to leave behind and those few (e.g. a valuable teak door or an historic fitted cast iron stove), which he intends to take with him.”

“Furthermore, if the removal of a permanent fixture results in some part of the remaining structure being damaged (as it usually does), it must be provided for in the contract that the repairs have to be done at the seller’s expense prior to transfer.”

In certain sales, said Fourie, it will suit the seller to include a number of movable, non-permanent items in the sale for such simple reasons as that he no longer needs them or he is moving to a home too small to accommodate them. The agreement to do this has, on occasions, also led to arguments, especially where several items are concerned.

“The golden rule therefore,” says Fourie, “even though it may be fairly tedious, is to leave nothing open to doubt or misinterpretation and record all permanent fixtures included or excluded from the sale in the contract, as well as any movable items that the seller will leave behind. This is particularly important because if the matter does reach the courts, South African property law almost always relies very heavily on written rather than verbal agreements.”

NEW ENGINE: A V8 TURBO-DIESEL THAT PULLS LIKE A TRAIN

Driven: Toyota’s rugged Land Cruiser FRANS LE ROUX If you page through a decent English dictionary, under the word “Tough” you should find a picture of a Toyota Land Cruiser.

When you search for an image of Napoleon Bonaparte on the Internet, he too would’ve been seen drivingaLandCruiserwhileconquering Europe.

Okay, alright then. The last one might be a bit unrealistic, but after sampling the latest V8 turbo-diesel variant, I firmly believe that there is nothing more indestructible than a Cruiser.

There is absolutely nothing about the Cruiser that seems “subtle” or understated. Let’s start off with its looks: the single cab is enormous; at 5,2 m long, you do get noticed while driving or having to park this beast.

With a square, upright stance, the Land Cruiser means business.

When the going gets tough the Cruiser boasts excellent groundclearance as well as good approach and departure angles. The loading bay at the back is big enough to fit a double-bed mattress with ease. Interestingly, the only way to recognize the new V8 is by looking for the bonnet-scoop.

On the inside there is very little to rave about. You are treated to two upright seats, four aircon vents, two gear levers and a chunky steering wheel. That is pretty much thathowever you do get a good old front loader CD player and a decent-sized cubbyhole. After you have adjusted your driver’s seat and steering wheel, you are left to enjoy what the Land Cruiser is really about: conquering any terrain.

The series consists of a single- and double-cab bakkie, a two- door wag-

The latest Land Cruiser V8­turbo diesel is the ultimate African conquerer. Here it is pictured on top of the pic­ turesque Paardeberg Mountain just outside Paarl.

PHOTO: FRANS LE ROUX on and a five-door station wagon.

However, the single biggest improvement for diesel-crazy fans, was the introduction of the new V8turbo diesel. The power gains are quite monumental when compared to the trusty old 4,2 six-cylinder diesel. The new engine was introduced in 2013 and produces beefy chunks of power. With 151 kW/430 Nm there is no shortage of useable diesel grunt. Fuel economy has never been the Land Cruiser’s strong point and the V8 is no exception. Realistic fuel figures of between 7,5-8,5 km/F can be expected, but with a huge 180 F fuel capacity, you could cover well over a 1 000 km before your next fill-

up.

Driving the Land Cruiser in everyday traffic is something that takes a while to get use to. Apart from excellent all-round visibility thanks largely to the high seating position, things get more tricky when you decide to park your small tank. With no standard parking aids available, parallel parking is interesting, to say the least. If you find a parking bay big enough for your Land Cruiser, I suggest slowly driving onto the sidewalk to fit in. With big diameter tyres and small wheels, you won’t be in any danger of damaging your shiny alloy wheels either.

The gearbox is a different animal all together. Changing gears is more frequent than usual, due to the overall short ratio applied in the geartrain. Pulling away from a stop sign or traffic light is better done in second gear.

As you work your way through the manly five-speed gearbox, you may swiftly find yourself doing 60 km/h in 5th gear. When you do get the hang of things, you would love gears 4 and 5. The amount of low-down torque available in fourth is astounding.

The Land Cruiser will happily obey our country’s national speed limit for days as it cruises comforta-

bly at 120 km/h. It will only run out off puff at 165 km/h, according to Toyota’s website.

After my Cape Town inner-city parking experience, I opted for a little something the Cruiser is renowned for: a proper off-road 4x4 test.

Fairly unknown terrain is that of Paardeberg. I am lucky enough to know a secret route that will be used in this year’s gruelling Cape Epic mountain bike race., so I took a friend and went on an a arduous seven-km trek up Paardeberg mountain. As soon as we locked the front hubs and turned the diff locks on, I knew this is what the Land Cruiser is meant to do. Boulders, rutted roads, broken tree stumps, mud (believe it or not in February) proved no match at all for the indestructible Land Cruiser. Each rotation of the wheels felt planned and secure. The Land Cruiser took all the abovementioned obstacles in its stride and just breezed past them.

I am a firm believer that there is no road or destination that cannot be reached in this Land Cruiser.

The only rival in this hardcore working bakkie category, is the Nissan Patrol pickup. It can basically do all the same stuff, it’s just a little underpowered and slightly more affordable. The Patrol retails for R496 400 while the Land Cruiser comes in at an eye-watering R567 800.

If you want refinement, smooth road holding and luxury you’re looking in the wrong place and missing the Cruisers point completely.

If you are lucky enough to buy or own a Land Cruiser, you should cherish the experience. It is uniquely wonderful in an Africa-thrashing kind of way. If price is a factor, just remember – you will stop working long before the Cruiser does.

SsangYong launches all-new Tivoli QUICKPIC SsangYong Motor Company (SYMC), part of the Mahindra Group, has officially announced the SsangYong Tivoli, its all-new compact SUV, which is expected to be a game changer in its segment and features a compelling combination of innovative style and remarkable value.

According to SsangYong Motor Company CEO Lee, the Tivoli is a strategic global model which SYMC has developed in the four years since the acquisition by Mahindra. “It will be a cornerstone in the company’s quest to become a global SUV maker,” he added.

The new Tivoli is of major importance to SsangYong, as it is the company’s first new model since its acquisition by Mahindra. The company invested KRW 350-billion (about US$ 325-milliion) and 42 months to ensure the Tivoli would deliver the highest standards of performance, design, safety and convenience in the highly competitive B-segment for compact SUVs. With consumers increasingly favouring compact SUVs because of the combination of performance, efficient fuel economy, practicality and value they offer, the new Tivoli is poised to become a competitive contender in this fast-growing category, while confirming SsangYong’s position as a leading producer of SUVs. The essence of the Tivoli’s design is the harmony between tension and composure, expressed at the front of the SUVby the waythereversed-trapezoid bumper embracing the lower air intake contrasts with the crisp

lines of the bonnet.

At the rear, the muscular shoulders symbolise the confidence of youth itself, while also emphasising the smooth style lines. The cheerful, clear-lensed tail light clusters add further visual interest.

The Tivoli’s interior design pursues a theme of compact, deluxe style by creating a smart and practical space, where occupants experience the cabin’s modern, luxurious execution. The ergonomic design of the switchgear is of particular note, with bar-type buttons and touch-screen controllers, optimised for intuitive use.

The cabin execution is focused on superior convenience and storage. space. The Tivoli’s class-leading width of 1 795 mm allows roomy interior space with two seating rows and 423 litres of luggage space – largest in its class. In fact, the Tivoli is the only vehicle in its segment with enough cargo space to accommodate three golf bags.

The second seating row can be folded flat to increase cargo-carrying capability, further augmenting the Tivoli’s multi-purpose SUV characteristics.

A sporty, thick-rimmed steering wheel provides a visual and ergonomic focus, while the comprehensive instrumentation, positioned in a recessed instrument binnacle in conjunction with an 8,9 cm colour display, allows intuitive monitoring of key vehicle systems and parameters.

The interior is offered in three different colour schemes, with black, beige and red as their primary hues.

The red interior is aimed specifically at customers seeking a sportier, more individual execution.

The Tivoli is equipped with a comprehensive infotainment solution based on the optimised use of smart devices.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC The well-bolstered front bucket seats, utilising fine materials and a quilted, stitched upholstery design, add a luxurious, exclusive aura to the cabin, while also ensuring comfort and support during driving and cornering.

Powering the new Tivoli is a brandnew engine, designed and developed over a three-year period. The new e-XGi unit has rated maximum power output of 94 kW, linked to a torque peak of 157 Nm. The Tivoli is fitted with Aisin’s highly regarded, second-generation automatic transmission, renowned for its rapid shift response, which is comparable with dual-clutch gearbox designs.

Standard across all specification levels is SsangYong’s new Smart-

Steer system, which allows steering effort to be adjusted in three steps – normal, comfort and sport – depending on driver preference. Dual-structure panels between the cabin and the engine compartment have reduced NVH levels significantly by minimising engine noise.

Passive safety measures include a full complement of seven airbags, including a knee airbag, for optimum occupant safety.

Large disc brakes front and rear equipped with ABS anti-lock control ensure incisive braking performance, while active safety systems include Electronic Stability Control (ESC), a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and LED daytime running lights.

The Tivoli is equipped with a com-

23

prehensive infotainment solution based on the optimised use of smart devices. An HDMI connection allows passengers to enjoy superior rendition of sound and images played back from smart devices on the 18 cm display. The display is also employed by the rear reversing-camera. A sixspeaker sound system ensures excellent audio quality.

The Tivoli is fitted with fully-automatic dual-zone air-conditioning that not only maintains the optimal temperature of the cabin, but also offers a memory function that stores the preferred air volume, air direction and temperature in three modes.

Additional features include a ventilated driver’s seat, heated steering wheel and heated second-row seats.

A six-sensor obstacle detection system with two four rear sensors ensures safe, convenient parking, while the Tivoli is also equipped with a niceties such as a luggage screen, automatic washer switch, and hazard lights that are automatically activated under braking.

Exterior options aimed at personalisation include dual-tone body and roof colour schemes.

“We are confident that the Tivoli meets the needs of the global market, offers best-in-the-class product competitiveness, and trend-setting style will soon become a leading model in the compact SUV market,” said Lee. The Tivoli will be launched in South Africa in mid-2015.

More information about the new Tivoli is available from SsangYong’s website (www.smotor.com), the company’s official Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ssangyongstory), and a special microsite (www.gotivoli.com).

“As we at Ford drive innovation into every part of our business, it’s worth remembering that our first innovation as a company was not in a laboratory, but on the racetrack,” said Mark Fields, Ford president and chief executive officer, referring to Henry Ford’s win of a 1901 car race that inspired financial backers to invest in his company. “We are passionate about innovation through performance and creating vehicles that make people’s hearts pound.”

The all-new GT supercar features rearwheel drive, a mid-mounted engine, and a sleek, aerodynamic, two-door coupe body shell. It is propelled by the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever – a nextgeneration twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 producing more than 600 horsepower.

The GT makes extensive use of lightweight materials, including carbon fibre and aluminium – enabling outstanding acceleration and handling with improved efficiency.

Ford’s commitment to and capability in delivering technologies typically offered only in elite vehicles is evident in the GT. These include advanced active aerodynamics, such as a deployable rear spoiler, and a host of material and technology innovations to help better serve the driver, such as SYNC® 3 – the latest version of Ford’s advanced connectivity system.

“The GT is the ultimate execution of an enthusiast supercar,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development.

“GT includes innovations and technologies that can be applied broadly across Ford’s future product portfolio – another proof point that Ford continues to raise the performance bar while ultimately improving vehicles for all our customers.”

Few innovations provide a more wide-ranging performance and efficiency advantage than reducing weight. All factors of a vehicle’s capabilities – acceleration, handling, braking, safety, efficiency – can improve through the use of advanced, lighter materials.

The all-new GT features advanced lightweight composites, which will help serve Ford’s entire product lineup moving forward. With the broad application of structural carbon fibre elements, the GT will exhibit one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any production car.

Anchored by a carbon-fibre passenger cell, the GT features aluminium front and rear subframes encapsulated in structural carbon fibre body-panels. Ford EcoBoost technology is available in every new Ford car, utility and light-duty pickup in North America beginning this year.

EcoBoost engines power a growing number of Ford performance models, including the new Mustang, just-announced F-150 Raptor, as well as Fiesta ST and Focus ST. Based on the same race-proven engine ar-

chitecture serving Ford’s IMSA Daytona Prototype endurance racing efforts, the nextgeneration twin-turbocharged 3,5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the GT features a wide powerband with impressive time-to-torque characteristics.

The engine demonstrates remarkable efficiency – a key attribute of its endurance racing-derived power train, where exceptional performance combined with efficiency is a critical competitive advantage.

Ford’s twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 raced to three wins in its first season of the IMSA TUDOR United Sports Car Championship in 2014, including a win in the prestigious 12 Hours of Sebring, along with seven podiums over more than 15 000 endurance racing miles.

The GT features an all-new, port/direct dual fuel-injection setup to improve engine response, plus a low-friction roller-finger-follower valvetrain. The twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 will be paired with a sevenspeed dual-clutch transaxle for near-instantaneous gear changes and exceptional driver control.

Aerodynamic efficiency is at the heart of the GT design, actively reducing drag while aiding downforce and stability.

From its optimum tear-drop shape to its aircraft-inspired fuselage and visibility-enhancing curved windshield, every slope and shape is designed to minimize drag and optimize downforce.

Although each surface on the GT is functionally crafted to manage airflow, it also features fully active aerodynamic components to improve braking, handling and stability.

An active rear spoiler is keyed to both speed and driver input, reactively deploying and adjusting its height and/or pitch angle depending on conditions.

While it shares a legacy with classic Ford racing and performance cars, GT is a fully contemporary and functional shape that communicates modernity and pure beauty.

The state-of-the-art chassis is suspended by an active racing-style torsion bar and pushrod suspension, with adjustable ride height. The 20-inch wheels are shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires featuring a unique compound and structure designed specifically for the Ford GT. Multi-spoke wheels encircle carbon-ceramic brake discs at all four corners.

The narrow-profile canopy reduces frontal area and caps a purposeful interior that provides state-of-the-art technology to ensure control, comfort and safety. The two-seat cockpit is accessed by upward-swinging doors, and features driver and passenger seats integrated directly into the carbon fiber passenger cell.

This configuration significantly reduces seating hardware and weight, and provides a consistent and direct sensory connection to the chassis. The fixed seating is combined with adjustable pedals and steering column to accommodate a very wide range of driver statures.

An F1-style steering wheel integrates all necessary driver controls, creating a stalkless steering column that allows uncluttered access to the transmission paddle-shift controls. A fully digital and configurable instrument cluster provides a wealth of driver-focused data. The display is configurable for multiple driving environments and different driving modes.

“While we hope enthusiasts rejoice about this all-new GT, all Ford customers will benefit from the ultimate performance Ford and its new-generation innovations,” said Nair.

• Current plans for the Ford GT are for lefthand drive versions only.

2016 Range Rover Evoque is still market leader MOTORPRESS Land Rover has strengthened its fastestselling model, the Range Rover Evoque.

The luxury compact SUV features a comprehensive range of new design features and technologies to reinforce its status as the market leader.

The 2016­model year Evoque is the first Range Rover to be offered with full­LED adaptive headlamps, providing superior visibility at night. This advanced technology has been pivotal in creating a signature headlamp and tail lamp design, working in harmony with Evoque’s dramatic exterior.

PHOTO: MOTORPRESS the introduction of Land Rover’s innovative all-terrain progress cntrol** (ATPC), first seen on the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

The stress-reducing technology maintains a pre-determined speed (selected using the cruise control function) in forward or reverse gears between 1,8 km/h to 30 km/h, allowing the driver to concentrate on negotiating tricky terrain. ATPC makes Evoque’s class-leading off-road capability more accessible and enjoyable than ever.

A range of innovative new features enhance

2016 model year Evoque’s comprehensive array of safety features. Lane-Keeping Assist uses the stereo digital camera to prevent unintended lane changes by monitoring road markings. If the vehicle begins to drift into an adjacent lane without the driver signalling beforehand, lane-keeping assist applies a gentle steering correction to maintain its lane position.

Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) prevents or greatly reduces the severity of accidents in the event of the driver failing to take preventative action.

Using an advanced forward-facing stereo digital camera, the system can identify potential hazards ahead. If a collision risk is detected, the driver is alerted by visual and audible prompts and, if the driver fails to take evasive action, the system helps to avoid collisions below 50 km/h, and reduces the severity of an impact at speeds below 80 km/h.

Attention Assist Estimation completes the trio of advanced new safety systems fitted to 2016-model year Evoque. It monitors steering inputs to detect when a driver is at risk of falling asleep at the wheel. Audible alarms and visual warnings signal when drowsiness is detected.

The 2016-model year Evoque’s trim levels have been realigned to match those of the Range Rover Sport so customers have the choice of six highly desirable models: SE, HSE Dynamic and Autobiography; and a suite of desirable option packs.

More than 400 000 Evoque’s have been produced since its introduction in 2011, making the premium compact SUV the fastest-selling Land Rover of all time. Last year marked the Evoque’s most successful year to date, with 125 364 global sales. This sales success has been accompanied by critical acclaim, as Evoque has won more than 165 international awards since launch.

Specific pricing by market will be announced closer to launch.

ket Evoque derivatives will continue to be available with the 2.2-litre SD4 turbo diesel engine and Land Rover’s 2.0-litre Si4 turbo petrol engine. The advanced new EU6 emissions compliant Ingenium diesel engines are undergoing evaluation for local introduction as soon as practical.

With 177 kW on tap, the Si4 petrol engine delivers strong performance, with acceleration from 0–100 km/h in just 7,6 seconds and a top speed of 217 km/h.

Fuel economy is rated at 7,8 F/100 km and CO2 emissions are 181 g/km*.

The range of improvements engineered into the 2016-model year Range Rover Evoque includes a series of new convenience features, with an all-new eight-inch InControlTM Touch touchscreen infotainment system providing a more intuitive experience.

Additionally, the six-speaker stereo system can be upgraded to include SD-card based satellite navigation.

InControlTM Touch Plus can also be specified, comprising HDD-based navigation, a rear-seat entertainment system complete with a pair of eight-inch video screens and wireless digital headphones, and an 11- or 17-speaker Meridian audio system.

An innovative hands-free tailgate function also adds a new dimension to the convenience of Evoque ownership. It allows owners to automatically open and close the tailgate by waving a foot beneath the rear bumper, whilst not compromising security. The handy feature is even compatible with a tow bar and greatly improves access to the luggage space when returning to the vehicle with your arms full of shopping.

Range Rover Evoque’s cutting-edge exterior design has been further enhanced with a selection of carefully chosen revisions. These updates include a new front bumper, two new grille designs, all-LED headlamps and four allnew alloy wheel designs. These changes will enhance Evoque’s unique design to a broad range of customers.

Interior changes include new seats and door casings, all-new eight-inch infotainment touchscreen and the introduction of new colour and materials such as Lunar Ice, Vintage Tan and Dark Cherry (Autobiography only) complementing Evoque’s bold architectural forms.

Land Rover’s advanced new diesel engine also debuts. The new EU6-compliant four-cylinder Ingenium unit brings a class-leading combination of performance, refinement and efficiency. In South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) markets the SD4 engine continues to do duty, paired with the unique-in-class ninespeed automatic transmission.

Gerry McGovern, Land Rover design director and chief creative officer said: “The Range Rover Evoque first established and then dominated the luxury compact SUV sector generating worldwide acclaim and sales success. Our challenge has been to evolve the Evoque design without diluting its distinctive character.”

Evoque’s highly desirable design is a hallmark of this luxurious compact SUV. The introduction of the slimline LED foglamps and a noticeably wider tow-eye cover enhance the new front bumper design. The enlarged air intakes allude to its sporting character and create a more planted stance and further emphasise Evoque’s assertive road presence.

The 2016-model year Evoque is the first Range Rover to be offered with full-LED adaptive headlamps, providing superior visibility at night.

With four all-new alloy wheel designs, a choice of Dynamic or standard body kit, and an extensive palette of exterior colours with available contrast roof designs, the possibilities for creating an Evoque to a customer’s bespoke specification are now almost endless.

New seats and door casings combined with a redesigned instrument binnacle promote a sophisticated ambiance to the overall interior.

New premium soft-touch materials create improved levels of quality with a broader specification range than ever before.

Land Rover’s new aluminium Ingenium diesel engine brings class-leading efficiency to the 2016 model year Range Rover Evoque, making it the most efficient Land Rover ever. The new engines are manufactured at the company’s advanced new £500 million Engine Manufacturing Centre in the West Midlands, UK. South African and sub-Sahara African mar-

Subaru Legacy back in the middleweight fray QUICKPIC Choosing a middleweight performance sedan that doesn’t plot the same course as the rest is about to get a whole lot easier, now that Subaru Southern Africa has announced the introduction of a potent new 3.6-litre version of the nameplate that moved the brand onto the world stage. The 191 kW/350 Nm Subaru Legacy 3.6R, a new flagship for the brand, will be in local showrooms by the middle of March.

The arrival of the sixth generation version continues a heritage of intelligent engineering coupled to all-round dynamic excellence which has always made Legacy

stand out amongst similarly-sized rivals. Key to this is the combination of Boxer engine – in this instance a six-cylinder version – and the ongoing evolution of the Symmetrical All Wheel Drive platform.

It remains a unique combination of attributes and the logical layout for a powerful performance sedan.

Buyers can also look forward to a generous level of equipment and luxury features, in line with the brand’s philosophy of providing a full-house offering. Everything needed for effortless, brisk cruising is fitted as standard.

But for the BF4 generation of Legacy, Subaru has focused on adding emotional appeal and refinement, fusing it with the functional attributes – such as quality, reliability, ruggedness and engineering-driv-

en design – that are Legacy traits.

“Intelligence has always been part of the Legacy philosophy, and this is apparent in features such as Si-Drive and other driver aids, advanced transmission and drivetrain technology, and both passive and dynamic safety,” explains Subaru Southern Africa’s marketing manager, Ashley Lazarus. “The new version is designed to be a more engaging car on an emotional and tactile level, starting with a sleeker, sportier shape and a purposeful countenance underpinned by the new grille. It continues on the inside with a more driver-centric cockpit and an upmarket yet sporty persona.

“The result is a car which continues to instil trust and confidence, but with a bold look and feel which

Fifth-generation Opel Corsa arrives in South Africa QUICKPIC The all new fifth generation Opel Corsa will reach Opel dealerships in South Africa in March. The local introduction comes just four months after the Corsa’s international premier at last year’s Paris Motor Show.

The Opel Corsa has established itself as a perennial bestseller through four model generations spanning 32 years, with over 12,4 million units sold globally. Together with the Astra, it is Opel’s most popular model, accounting for over a quarter of the company’s sales every year. The new fifth generation Corsa is set to build on its reputation as an all-rounder by offering segmentleading levels of comfort, precision and efficiency.

Initially, the new Corsa will be made available with Opel’s state-of-the-art three-cylinder 1.0-litre turbocharged ecoFLEX engine with three trim levels: Cosmo, Enjoy, and Essentia.

With its inspiring design, innovative technology and engaging drive, the new Corsa will appeal to single men and women, professionals with young families, and young-atheart drivers who love great cars and want something that will set them apart from the crowd Premium, high quality materials – like those used for the soft IP top-pad, or the décor elements dressed in rich satin chrome, are all worthy of vehicles from much higher segments. Each material used in the new Corsa is carefully chosen to support the premium character of the interior, clearly reflecting a level of quality and craftsmanship born of German engineering.

The three configurations - Essentia, Enjoy and Cosmo – along with various décor, give the customer an individual and flexible

The new Corsa not only offers a new driving experience with improved comfort and preci­ sion thanks to its new chassis and steering systems – it also makes driving easier and saf­ er with advanced assistance systems.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC choice. In addition to sophisticated 3D embossed fabrics, a two-tone accent colour which matches the seats wraps from the lower IP into the door trim, visually widening the cabin and creating an ambience more typical of upmarket cars.

The new Corsa’s chassis does not inherit a single component from the outgoing model. Every conceivable setscrew was turned in order to achieve a better driving experience with new levels of comfort, precision and enjoyment. At the same time, engineers concentrated on finding the optimal balance between enjoyable dynamics and predictable, safe road holding.

In order to improve directional stability,

the Opel engineers changed the mounting points of the rack-and-pinion steering shaft and optimised its geometry. A newly-constructed mounting for the steering column saves space which is filled with additional padding material and increases driver safety in case of a collision. Furthermore, the steering column possesses special impact absorbers.

The fifth-generation Corsa can also be specified with Opel’s Advanced Parking Assistant 2 (APA2) in Enjoy and Cosmo trim.

This system recognises parallel and perpendicular parking spaces and takes over the steering, meaning that the driver only has to control the pedals and gears

The new Corsa benefits from Opel’s biggest powertrain offensive in the company’s history, which includes three new-generation engine families and will see 17 new engines introduced by 2018.

The new Corsa receives Opel’s state-ofthe-art 1.0 litre ecoFLEX Direct Injection Turbo engine. First introduced in the recently-launched Opel ADAM, it also is the highlight of the fifth-generation Corsa. The engine offers outstandingly sophisticated driving refinement and responsiveness together with frugal fuel consumption – proving that high driving comfort and pleasure can be combined with excellent efficiency.

The second development priority of the new-generation 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine was to deliver excellent responsiveness – not only the quietness but also the pleasure provided will surprise customers. The 85 kW engine excels in delivering strong low-end torque with extreme efficiency, pumping out 170 Nm from just 1 800 rpm.

The engine’s responsiveness is particularly evident during acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h, a decisive speed range for overtaking, when this compact powerhouse belies its size by delivering strong power from low rpm. The Corsa makes this transition in just 10,4 seconds.

Start/stop technology is fitted as standard to boost fuel economy, with the Corsa consuming just 5.0 F per 100 km over the combined cycle, equating to only 119 g/km CO2 emissions.

Affordable new German excellence All new Opel Corsa derivatives will be sold as standard with Opel’s 5-year/120 000 km warranty and a 3-year/60 000 km service plan.

The All-New Lexus NX: The power of design QUICKPIC Bringing together striking design, free-spirited performance and innovative technology, the brand new Lexus NX is the luxury automaker’s first foray into the ultra-competitive compact SUV segment of the market.

Available from the 23rd February, the NX symbolises a new direction for Lexus. As Calvyn Hamman, senior vice-president of sales & marketing, points out: “The brand’s focus is on providing design-driven, driver-rewarding vehicles underpinned

by Lexus’ advanced engineering and dynamic, efficient powertrains.”

Styling, of course, was key – the aim was to make a bold first impression and ensure the NX gets noticed.

According to Hamman, this it certainly does: “Stylistically, the production package does not differ markedly from the extrovertly and aggressively crafted LF-NX concept that we showed back in 2013. What the NX designers have given us is an intelligent expression of the Lexus L-Finesse design language, retaining the sharp lines, wide, powerful stance and sporting feel of the original show car which gives it phenomenal on-road presence.”

But the newcomer is not just about the show – it’s got the go to match.
