Are you a playboy? or a footballer? or extremely wealthy and wish to turn heads on the high streets? Well this is a calling for you – because Aston Martin has finally release it’s latest open-air gran tourer, the Vanquish Volante. This is to cater for the people who prefers the sun over leather – and wind in their hair instead of air-conditioning, whilst wearing sunglasses and a beauty pageant on the passenger seat.
Super GT has always been one of the most coveted race events in Sepang – little wonder as it is the only Autobacs Super GT round that isn’t held in the land of the rising sun, Japan. We are unconditionally honoured, as a Malaysian and a fellow enthusiasts to witness one of the fastest race series in the world.
Being in its elements – the GT300 cars are more restricted, with regulations being amplified to keep the competition high. On the exterior, the GT300 cars resembles its road-going counterpart, but without a doubt that these cars mean serious business and even if they’re not as fast as the GT500 – it is just as exhilarating.
The new Nissan Almera Nismo Performance Package was given a global preview at last Sunday’s 2013 Super GT Round 3 taking place at Sepang International Circuit. Working together with Nissan Motorsports International Co. Ltd., this is a special milestone for Malaysia’s Nissan dealer Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn. Bhd.
From pole position to the checkered flag, #12 CALSONIC IMPUL Nissan GT-R managed to secure its position in front of the GT500 crowd casing furiously to take the lead, earning them the win at the 2013 AUTOBACS Super GT Round 3 at Sepang international Circuit.
With the weather being neither too hot nor too wet like how Sepang usually is, the GT500 race machines of the 2013 AUTOBACS Super GT blitzed across the Sepang International Circuit at tremendous speeds, all aiming to set the fastest time for the Round 3 Qualifying session. Running in a new two-session “knock-out” format for this season, seven cars were knocked out in Q1, leaving the other eight to battle it out for the pole position.
Over a year after the GT86 launch in Malaysia – finally its brother from another mother, the Subaru BRZ takes its stage in the Malaysian market. As much as they are differentiated between the two – they are both on the basis, similar. In conjunction with the Super GT 2013 in Sepang, Motor Image Sdn Bhd – the dealer of Subaru cars in Malaysia launched the Subaru BRZ as an addition to their model line-up.
From a personal point of view, I always believe that the Subaru badge carries more presence than the 86. The name is derived from a royal bloodline of the legendary AE86, giving it a tough time to live up to its ancestor. With similar looks, similar engine and similar driving set-up.. the Subaru BRZ is a fresher face in the automotive world.
Evos and GT-Rs, Ferraris and Lamborghinis; we gave them a lot of spotlight before and now it is time for the customs to take the stage and enjoy the limelight. After its brief introduction at Publika last year, Art of Speed is back to rock 2013 and this time are they bigger, better, and definitely louder. With Citta Mall’s massive outdoor parking lot being their playground for 8 – 9 June, the scene was littered with a great mix of American cars, Custom Retro Japanese rides and lowly-slung road-sweepers!
Some weeks back, we were at the South of France where we drove the mk7 Golf GTI. By now, you probably know that there are two stages of tune – the GTI (220PS/350Nm) and the GTI Performance (230PS/350Nm). Apart from the slight difference in power, the GTI Performance also gains larger brakes on all four corners, with the GTI calipers being the only noticeable hint. VW claims the mk7 Golf GTI is their fastest, most powerful, most efficient and most dynamic GTI ever, and we put these claims to the test.

We recently reviewed an Audi RS4 B5 Avant, which to our surprise was packing a close figure of 500 horsepower. It’s the grand daddy of RS-Superwagons and although it was packing some goodies from the renowned VAG tuner – Motoren-Technik-Mayer (MTM) – it got us thinking, what is currently the maddest, most powerful superwagon in production?
After some research..well, we found out that you’d be spoilt for choices. But here are the Top 5 picks in our list.
