It is now migrating to Star FM because the market has demanded so. Covid-19 has taught us a lesson. Print is good but is not the best, especially in this environment. Digital marketing is the way forward. It has more reach and is cheaper. We are your solution! DRIVEtorque is Southern Africa’s leading multimedia automotive consumer brand focusing on Zimbabwe. The radio programme has even touched those in the diaspora. The e-magazine already has such subscribers as well. This is important as the diaspora market funds some of the purchases in Zimbabwe. DRIVEtorque intends to continue to be the dominant opinion-forming, monthly motoring multimedia platform in Zimbabwe and beyond. It caters for a wide spectrum of motoring enthusiasts irrespective of age, demographic or income group and owes its lasting reputation to critical road tests and driving impressions of all models in Zimbabwe. DRIVEtorque is an authoritative and independent motoring multimedia platform. Editorial content carries launches, reviews and comparison tests on new cars, motoring news, motorsport, as well as consumer advice, maintenance tips and relevant features on everything motoring. Other content includes new car prices. DRIVEtorque remains the only motoring multimedia platform offering a one stop shop covering many platforms for advertisers and consumers in Zimbabwe. It has always been our thrust to offer clients a one stop advertising platform where they interact with consumers of motoring news and their products. It is with this in mind that we are launching the DRIVEtorque e-Magazine. It will be a free publication PAGE 2 ABOUT US About Us Target Market DRIVEtorque is for everyone who loves cars, drives a car, owns a car or aspires to own a car, and not forgetting the motoring enthusiast.

If a post has a lot of shares, likes, and positive comments, you know you have done something right. You can even drive more engagement by liking and responding to comments, answering messages, and sharing user-generated content to your pages. ▶ Cost-effective : Print ads and other traditional marketing advertisements cost an arm and a leg, whereas with digital ads, you have more control over the cost. You decide how much you want to invest by setting a maximum budget for each ad. This allows you to try a few different low-cost strategies and start learning what works. Once you have found the right approach, you can gradually scale up your budget. ▶ Wider reach : Traditional marketing solutions cannot compare when it comes to reach. Even without online ads, a Search Engine Optimisation website like ours can help you tap into new markets and reach a local and global audience for only a small investment. ▶ Targeted : The biggest advantage of digital marketing is that you can reach your target audience in a cost-effective and measurable way. You can reach people who match your ideal customer with targeted advertising, stay in touch with current customers, and be seen by people who are actively looking for your products or services online. ▶ Easy to measure and adjust : With traditional marketing, you never know who you will reach with your investment because results are difficult to measure. How do you measure how many people saw your billboard and contacted you or referred a friend? That is quite challenging! And once it is up, you cannot make any changes to optimise it. Digital marketing is much easier to measure and adjust. Using simple (and free) analytics tools, we will monitor the performance of your online ads to see impressions, engagement rate, cost per click, and many more insightful metrics. This allows you to quickly optimise campaigns or adjust your budget and strategies to focus on the channels that are driving the most results. ▶ DRIVEtorque audience has an intense passion in motoring and its related subjects. You are guaranteed that your brand message will reach an attentive readership. ▶ DRIVEtorque’s outstanding editorial content and presentation is world class ▶ DRIVEtorque is the only multimedia motoring one stop shop advertising platform in Zimbabwe. www.drivetorque.com DRIVEtorque January 2021 | PAGE 5 THE WAR OF THE HOT HATCH Volkswagen Mercedes - Benz Golf R A35 AMG THERE have always been a few front-wheel drive couldn't cope litres of displacement. as sophisticated a launch hot hatches to choose from if with all the added power. control as the Mercedes Benz, you’re the sort of person who But they were very sober when and so would immediately be enjoys torque steer, And so, the hot-hatch-smiths they designed the epic interior, at a disadvantage hatchbacks and small, took to all-wheel drive and now and the computer system notwithstanding the 59kW turbocharged engines.

  • The Family Man's Sports Car, the Light Sports Saloon and Hot Hatchback
    The Family Man’s Sports Car, The light Sports Saloon and Hot Hatchback. Part One 1920 to 1980 Alvis 12/75 sports saloon The hot hatch back has been with us since the mid seventies, sporting version’s of the small family hatch back saloons that had come to replace in much of the world the smaller booted/trunk saloon car. Of late many of the hot hatch models of this century have been fitted with ever increasingly larger engines in the relentless quest for even more speed, but there are still some models in production with modest sized engines in the spirit of the original hot hatches and the light sports saloons that came before them, with capacities up to 1600cc’s. What do I mean by light sports saloon, I am referring to the kind of light car, that is one with a moderate size engine, that was purchased not just for transport but one that will provide an increased degree of performance that will enhance the pleasure of motoring and that in some cases could take part in motorsport of one form or another. The sports saloon was a very British thing in the nineteen twenties, thirties and forties, with quite a few models on offer with that description, but for many of them it was unwarranted and I have only mentioned those with a sporting connection here. In most of the world in that period light cars were usually just for transport and if a sporting car was required it had a larger engine ,some times very large.

  • Media Watch Latest News Coverage from Across the Uk
    MEDIA WATCH LATEST NEWS COVERAGE FROM ACROSS THE UK 170 – 4 APRIL 2017 James Parfett Head of Communications Peugeot UK “You can always tell a good month of coverage when it’s brimming with accolades, a Guardian journalist is asking “where do I sign?” and an order is placed by Chris Evans, for an All-New 3008 SUV GT Line. These are the positive reactions that the All-New 3008 and 5008 SUVs continue to generate. There’s also enthusiastic praise for both ‘Where do I sign?’ – All-New 3008 SUV the 308GTi by Peugeot Sport and the stunning new Peugeot Instinct Concept.” “I can’t remember climbing into a more instantly likable car,” writes Martin Love in his All-New 3008 SUV review for the Guardian. “There are dozens of mid-size SUVs out there, from the Kuga to the Kadjar, and to be competitive in this shark’s pool of motoring segments, new cars have to bring their A-game if they are to survive let alone thrive. The All-New 3008 SUV is cut from different cloth than its predecessor. Clever design sprinkles fairy dust on every feature: from the stainless steel doorsills to the chrome-trimmed floating roof, smoked windows and jagged front lights.” Love finds the exterior impressive, “but it’s the interior that knocks it out the park. It’s interesting and original – everything has been reconsidered. The instrument cluster resides in an angular display pod beneath the sweeping windscreen. The steering wheel is squared off, top and bottom. There are about ‘MAJOR TECH’ LEADS three ways to access everything – all part of Peugeot’s new i-Cockpit®.” TO MASS ORDERS According to the report, “one thing Peugeot doesn’t shout enough about is its engines.

    5-STAR REVIEW SPECIAL ISSUE FIRST99 FOR NEWNEWS AND REVIEWS CARS EVERY WEEK Est. 1895 | autocar.co.uk NEW GR YARIS IS… 2020’S BEST HOT HATCH Amazing new The first truly great car of Toyota blitzes the decade every rival HOW IT COMPARES TO THE BEST OF THE REST TOYOTA GR YARIS 2020 UK REVIEW Possibly the most exciting addition to the hot hatchback market in a decade. Wickedly purposeful, and wonderfully evocative of fast 4x4s of old. he new Toyota GR Yaris has actually been coming for even T longer than most of us may realise. While this car has had an extensively previewed gestation, it’s the first ground-up performance car that Toyota has developed ‘all on its own’ in some twenty years. By which is meant ‘without the help of another dedicated car-maker,’ of course. Because believe me, to have made a hot hatchback this good, Toyota must have had quite a lot of help from some very clever people who have been spending a lot of weekends with messrs Makinen, Meeke, Tanak and Latvala. So, now that we’ve driven it – extensively, on a mix of UK roads and on track, and in its most alluringly specialized mechanical specification, we should add – we can at last confirm what matters most: that the hubbub of anticipation might actually have undersold the GR Yaris. This is a wonderfully exciting, amazingly capable and strangely evocative drivers’ car, and a very rare and special hot hatchback indeed. ◊ TOYOTA GR YARIS 2020 REVIEW ∆ First, we’d better define precisely why series-production performance cars that the GR Yaris exists.
