INEOS Automotive has announced a bespoke expedition for adventurous 4X4 drivers, covering 1,500km over eight days in South Africa. The exclusive trip will give 16 guests access to breathtaking scenery, luxury accommodation and a hands-on overlanding drive in Grenadiers that will never be forgotten.
Starting on 4 May, the inaugural expedition has been locally curated and traverses game reserves and private estates, staying at selected premium hotels, luxury game lodges and a private manor house. Departing from Cape Town the trip will go through Paarl and Wellington winelands, over the Cedarberg wilderness area, Roggeveld and Outeniqua Mountains and through the Tankwa and Great Karoo biomes, before finishing at Gqeberha on the Eastern Cape coastline. The adventure will be led by INEOS Kavango, the specialist conversion division based in northern Botswana with extensive experience across the region.
Charles Van Rensburg, CEO of INEOS Kavango, said: “Overlanding really is the ultimate way to experience Africa, and this trip adds local knowledge and the right equipment for those who want the adventure but haven’t the time or expertise to organise it. Our overlanders can expect a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a test drive that won’t be forgotten.”
The excursion is designed to give 4X4 drivers from around the world the opportunity to put the INEOS Grenadier through its paces in the incredible environment which it was engineered to tackle with ease. Spaces are limited to just sixteen guests and includes all planned activities, freshly prepared meals, and full technical and logistical support. The expedition will be led by professional off-road guides with local specialists and will be captured by a dedicated video and photography team.
Lynn Calder, CEO of INEOS Automotive, said: “I’ve tested the Grenadier personally in several of the locations this expedition will cover and it’s exhilarating, it’s a drive the vehicle was built for. This promises to be a truly special experience with the hands-on knowledge that’s incredibly rare and lets you just focus on your own adventure.”

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
