The Fiat Coupé (type 175, officially titled the Coupé Fiat) was a coupé produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat between 1993 and 2000. In Malaysia, the name Fiat has receieved quite a notorious reputation for being a high maintenance Italian make. In fact, most Non-Asian makes such as BMW, Mercedes, Volvo etc has also recieved the same reputation of being high maintenance. Despite this,

Classy yet Sporty interior! The faux wood accentuates the car's

2012 Satria Neo R3 Supercharged!




Supercharged Satria Neo R3, producing 175bhp & 200Nm of Torque. Somehow I think a turbo charger would be more fun, but to each his own!

2012 BMW 3 series Li (3Li) - Elongated version revealed







The BMW 3 series 3Li will debut at the Beijing Auto show sometime this month. The 3Li is basically an elongated version of the standard 3 series, offering more leg room for the rear passengers. This car is suitable for the emerging south east Asian and Asian market, as many opt for a regular sedan but want a luxury touch to it. In comparison, the 5 series and 7 series also offers an

Proton Peve - Official Preview of Spec Sheet & Pricing








The manual Proton Preve is a good buy if you are looking for modifications, as apparently the CVT transmission only has a threshold of 205nm torque @ 2500rpm! What that means is, the CFE turbo charged engine in the Preve is already putting out 205nm torque. Potentially, the engine could produce more power, but doe to reliability issue and durability, they limit its power output. Not very

New Suzuki Kizashi in Malaysia!










The Suzuki Kizashi, looking very much alike the Toyota Mark X from the rear has finally been launched in Malaysia! Competing against the VW Passat, Peugeot 508, Kia K5 and Ford Mondeo, this car has a tough competition ahead. Despite being smaller than its competitors, the Suzuki Kizashi offers a very proportionate body; the front fender and tyre distance reminds me of an european car

Lotus Esprit: forgotten car (1976 and 2004)





Usually when we talk about Lotus cars what comes to our mind is usually the Lotus Elise. Maybe after being featured quite frequently in Need for Speed game series, the Lotus Elise has become synonymous with the brand itself. However, not many people know of the existence of the Lotus Esprit. Made between 1976 to 2004, the Esprit spanned several generations:

Isn't she a beauty? This car would definitely turn some heads. However, priced at half a million ringgit, there are plenty of other choices such as Porsche 911 (the older ones could be had for this price range), Nissan GTR35, Porsche Cayman S, Audi TTRS or Audi R8 (V8 version), perhaps a BMW M6 or M3? Anyway, enjoy the pictures!

Proton P3-21A - Specification & Visual check!


The new Proton P3-21A seems to have created much hype. After all, this is probably the first time Proton launched a turbo charged engine (there was a turbo charged Wira or Saga on a limited run or as an add on package previously if I am not mistaken, done by PERT). in a sedan car. We could only speculate what the aftermarket scene will do to this car! Be prepared for bigger turbos and other

Proton Saga FLX - Possibly my next car?



After meddling with modifications for some time, one thing that bothers me is the fuel consumption. Sure, my Toyota Altis with 3SGTE engine can go 0-100km/h in 5.6 seconds, but it also consumes 7km per litre. That is really terrible when I have to use it to go to work, although it would make a great weekend car. Due to this, I decided to purchase a car that could get me from point A to B, has

Toyota FT86 (AE86 Trueno inspired)

It is speculated that the vehicle will boast a "2.0-liter flat-four producing 197 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 150 pound-feet of torque at 6,600 rpm" (Source: FT86Club)



Classic Toyota Trueno AE86; rear wheel drive, light curb weight, and 2 doors for great fun!



The main attraction of the vehicle will not be the power, but the handling; "power is nothing without control". Trust me on this, I

2012 Mini Roadster



The 2012 Mini Roadster is shorter, more narrow and lower than the existing mini roadster. Set to rival the Mazda Miata MX5, the roadster will be shown at the Detroit auto Show in early 2012 before going on sale mid year. Prices start at $24,000 (RM80,000 BEFORE tax, roughly RM2xx,000 after tax haha). This is a strictly 2  seater, so guess it would not be too popular in Malaysia, given the

Toyota MR2 Hybrid

Based off the original MR2 spyder, this one is retrofitted with a 3.5 litre V6 engine and electric motors in the front and rear, making it an all wheel drive hybrid. Sporting a 245-295 horsepower

2012 BMW 1-Series M Coupe

If you thought the BMW 1 series M coupe already looked great, apparently some people are not satisfied. Barely a year old, some had already undergone cosmetic changes.
