We have created an alphabetical (by brand) list of all the cars that can be expected in SA in the closing months of the year.
Having made its world debut in the UAE, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, which set a set the lap record for a production SUV at the famed Nurburgring Nordschleife in September 2017, will arrive in the South African market in the 4th quarter of 2018.Powered by a 375 kW/600 Nm 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 mated with an 8-speed transmission and Q4 all-wheel-drive system, the Quadrifoglio utilises its Alfa-Link adaptive suspension and (if specified) carbon-ceramic braking system to delivering stellar performance. It is expected that the initial consignment of Stelvio Quadrifoglios will comprise only 50 units, which will retail for approximately R1.8-million apiece. As was the case with its sedan sibling, you can expect Race and Launch versions.

To bridge the notable performance gap between the (147 kW) 2.0-litre andQuadrifoglioderivatives in the Giulia range, a 206 kW Veloce version is on the cards, but unlike in most overseas markets, it will be offered in rear-wheel-drive configuration in South Africa and is expected to arrive in Q4 2018.
Audi's new flagship Q8 luxury SUV willtake the fight to the Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X6/X7. Given how the market has reacted to an Audi SUV (every 3rd model sold globally is an SUV), a big and bold SUV is a good business choice. Expect an array of petrol, diesel and hybrid versions, and let's not rule out a monster SQ8, which will share componentry with the recently-launched Lamborghini Urus.

It's still a 6.0-litre turbocharged motor, but this time a dual-clutch 8-speed transmissionhas been added.This big engine produces 467 kW and 900 Nm of torque, and when you dial up the Sport Launch Mode, the 0 to 100 kph sprint is achievable in a claimed 3.7 seconds thanks to a new all-wheel-drive system. If you want to try test its top-end speed, you'll find yourself comfortably sitting at over 330 kph! The new Bentley Continental GT is expected in SA in Q4 of 2018.
The BMW M5 Competition is due in South Africa soon and itdevelops 19 kW more power than the standard M5 and although thetorque remains the same at 750 Nm,it's available in a wider band:1 800 to5 800 rpm.Dynamically it also benefits from a 7-mm ride height drop, 10%stiffer suspension and more negative camber on the front wheels.The result is a claimed 0-100 kph sprint time of 3.3 seconds and, with the M Drivers Package fitted, a heady 305-kph top speed.
