      A Porsche 911 Dakar Just Drove From Vietnam To The Gobi Desert

      Here’s the story of Nguyen Hoang Anh, who took his 911 Dakar on a 33,000 km overland adventure from Vietnam to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.  When Porsche first unveiled the 911 Dakar in late 2022, it was widely touted as being the adventurer’s 911. With its jacked up suspension and standard all terrain tyres, this limited run variant was after all a supercar that was meant not just for the tarmac, but off it as well.  That said, it was always to going be the case that the most challenging surface 99% of 911 Dakars will ever see is…

      Are Toyota Hilux Sales Really Struggling In Malaysia?

      Is the aging Hilux really suffering in the local sales chart that Toyota needs to publicise it more? So a little while ago while crawling along in traffic on the LDP, this writer here saw a massive advert for the Toyota Hilux blaring from one of those digital billboards. And perhaps it could just have been the flashiness of the ad, but it struck him that it was probably the first time he could remember ever seeing an ad for a Hilux. This thought then triggered another recent memory of his about Toyota hosting a rather elaborate off-roading event in…

      Peugeot Just Slapped A GTi Badge On Its All-Electric e-208

      This marks the first time the iconic GTi badge is making its way onto something without a tailpipe.  After a five-year hiatus, Peugeot’s famous GTi badge has recently made a comeback. Though what’s slightly different this time round is that this iconic performance nameplate appears on something considerably quieter than its ICE predecessors: the newly facelifted e-208. Now diving straight into the hot-ness with the e-208 GTi, this pint-sized all-electric pocket rocket packs a single front mounted electric motor that develops a decently adequete 280 hp and 345 Nm of torque. Peugeot claims a sprightly 0-100 km/h time of 5.7…

      Ferrari Repeats History In 2025 With 3rd Straight Le Mans Victory

      This hat trick of wins for Ferrari at Le Mans 2025 comes exactly 60 years after their initial historic streak back in 1965. The 93rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has drawn to a close, and once again, it’s the Prancing Horse standing proud at the top. The bright yellow #83 Ferrari 499P of AF Corse took the chequered flag to claim Ferrari’s third consecutive Le Mans win, repeating a feat the Italian marque first achieved all the way back in 1965. What made this already remarkable achievement all the more impressive was that the eventual winners…

      This 1 of 340 lightweight Lotus track toy could fetch up to RM 250,000… in good nick that is.  There is a saying in the car spotting community to “always check the carpark.” And boy have we got a doozy here, as recently spotted languishing in a forgotten corner of the carpark at Proton’s headquarters is a very exotic Lotus 340R! Papped by yours truly between a similarly dilapidated first- and second-generation Elise, it is certainly a very heartbreaking sight to see a trio of these Lotus sports cars collecting dust in front of what seems to be Proton’s office…

      F74 BMW 2-Series Grand Coupe Lands Locally From RM 241,000

      This second-generation BMW 2-Series Gran Coupe follows its predecessor by arriving once again in a sole 218i guise. Now appearing at the other end of the sedan spectrum from the recently-launched M5, BMW Malaysia has also pulled the wraps off the new F74 2-Series Gran Coupe. This smallest sedan in the Bavarian automaker’s local hierarchy will be offered — just like before — in a single locally-assembled 218i variant, with prices estimated at RM 241,000 (including BMW’s BSRI five-year extended warranty and service package). Originally revealed globally in October last year, this latest iteration retains its predecessor’s 2,670 mm wheelbase…

BMW Malaysia recently held its BMW World event, where the star of the show was undoubtedly the all-new M5. Launching locally about a year since its international debut, this latest and greatest iteration of the Bavarian automaker’s sports sedan could be yours for the princely sum of RM 1,247,900 (or RM 1,188,000 without the extended warranty and service package).

      GWM Haval H6 HEV Sets ASEAN Record By Going 1,242 km On 1 Tank

      This translates to an impressive average fuel efficiency figure of 20.4 km/l for this hybrid Haval SUV. To prove that it truly goes the distance, GWM’s Haval H6 HEV has officially entered the ASEAN Records as the first hybrid SUV in the region to achieve the longest verified real-world driving distance on a single tank.

      MG5 Review: How Does It Stack Up Against The Vios, City & S70?

      Answer: The MG5 is unfortunately not going to worry any of the established B-segment players just yet.  For those in the market for a sub-RM 100,000 small sedan, you’re pretty much choosing between the Honda City, Toyota Vios, and Proton S70. But the newly-revived MG in Malaysia is currently looking to expand that particular pool of available options by one, with its MG5 that launched late last year. And while there’s much to say — both good and bad — about this sedan further on in this review, perhaps the most stunning thing worth highlighting right from the get-go is…
