The V27 public debut leads a wider Festival programme featuring a first glimpse of the 03T REEV and a new partnership with Red Bull.
iCAUR South Africa will unveil the V27 to the public at this year’s Festival of Motoring, opening pre-orders for the new flagship as it makes its first local appearance.
The reveal is part of a larger showing for iCAUR, which will also bring the 03T REEV to Kyalami and announce a long-term partnership with Red Bull. A busy schedule of joint events is already planned for the coming months, with details to be released in stages.
The V27 sits at the top of the iCAUR range and continues the Future Classic design direction introduced by the V23. Its squared proportions and upright stance are familiar, but the V27 is a larger and more refined interpretation, with a longer body, more interior space and a range-extender electric drivetrain.
A turbocharged 1.5-litre engine works with a 34.3 kWh battery and two electric motors to produce 339 kW. The V27 has a published electric range of 150 km and a total driving range of more than 1,000 km, with the dual-motor model accelerating from rest to 100 km/h in five seconds.
The cabin includes a dual panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, ambient lighting and up to 50 storage spaces. The chassis has been developed with support from the Prodrive racing team, while more than 76% of the vehicle’s safety structure is made from high-strength steel.
“The V27 is a significant vehicle for us, but we did not want its first public appearance to be a static reveal,” said Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager at iCAUR and OMODA & JAECOO South Africa. “Festival of Motoring gives people time to see the car properly, spend time with the range and get behind the wheel. Our partnership with Red Bull means that engagement will continue well beyond the weekend at Kyalami.”
The 03T REEV will be displayed alongside the V27, giving visitors an early look at another range-extended addition to the iCAUR line-up. Further information on the model will be shared closer to its South African introduction.
Away from the vehicle display, iCAUR has planned the Festival experience as a journey through several touchpoints across the venue. Visitors will not need to follow a fixed route or complete every activity.
The iCAUR Game Pass connects the experience. It can be collected from the welcome desk or any participating iCAUR space, with each interaction giving visitors another opportunity to enter the Ball Pit in the food court. There is no app to download and no login process. Hidden among the orange and white balls are a limited number of blue ones, each of which unlocks iCAUR merchandise. The blue balls are returned to the pit after each win, keeping them in play for the next visitor.
Rep My T brings customisation into the experience through on-site T-shirt printing. Visitors can choose an iCAUR design, have it printed while they wait, and take the finished shirt home. Those who want to drive can register at the SnowPeak lounge before heading out in a selected iCAUR model. The space doubles as a waiting area, giving guests somewhere to spend time before their allocated drive.
The Festival of Motoring runs from 28 to 30 August 2026 at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit. The V27 and 03T REEV will remain on display throughout the weekend, with pre-orders for the V27 opening at the show. Pricing, derivatives and delivery timing will be confirmed separately. The first events under the iCAUR and Red Bull partnership will also be announced over the next few months.
