Mozambique is famous for many things:
amazing seafood, idyllic beaches, sea turtles,
the longest suspension bridge in Africa, 2M
beer and plenty more. But during our recent
visit to the country, the moon also rose to the
occasion, putting up a spectacular show over
the Indian Ocean.
Peet MockeA BRIDGE TOO CLOSE
A Mercedes-AMG GT3 competes in the
ADAC GT Masters race at the Red Bull Ring in
Spielberg, Austria, in June. The Mercedes is
powered by a 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V8
engine that produces 404kW. The car weighs
just 1 285kg and all the grunt is sent to the
rear wheels where a multiple-disc limited-slip
differential sorts out the traction.
Interestingly, the Merc also has adjustable
traction control.
