In 2022, Summer McIntosh made waves on the global stage by becoming the youngest world swimming champion in over a decade. She was only 15 years old. A year later, she redefined the limits of performance, setting two world records in the 400m freestyle and 400m individual medley. A nominee for the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year award and a key figure at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Summer represents a generation of athletes for whom excellence is not a goal, but a way of life.

There are some vehicles that don’t whisper their intent and spark conversation before you even turn the key. The BYD Shark 6 falls squarely in this camp. With its bold design and future-forward tech, this newcomer isn’t just dipping its toes into South Africa’s competitive bakkie waters. It’s diving in headfirst, with eyes set on shaking up a segment long dominated by the likes of the Ford Ranger, VW Amarok, Toyota Hilux – and even the elusive Mercedes-Benz X-Class.
