Flash Forward // Audi R8 on Brixton Forged
“I, Robot” and “Iron Man”. Call it an oversimplification, yet these are the two associations that came up every time an R8 comes to mind. Not it’s engine-type, nor its all-wheel-drive system. The R8 has been so closely attached to these two movies (“I, Robot” uses an RSQ which looks similar nonetheless) that spotting one of these became a similar …

Sharp as Blades // M235i on Klassen iD
We are now entering an aggressive era of car culture. Not only in horsepower figures, mind you, but also on manufacturer’s end of product development; where they’ve been aggressively churning out new models ampler than ever. Further widening the choices available for prospective buyers. There are now small performance hatchbacks, sedans, crossovers, etc. Filling the gaps previously untouched by any …

Higher Routine // S63 AMG on Rotiform
When Winston told me he’s just finished doing a feature shoot on an S63 AMG, my instant thought was whether it’s going to be running the usual elegant set of wheels for Benz or something else. Winston explained further, stating explicitly that this one’s going to be special, one of the world’s first, because it’s running on a set Rotiform …

Upstyle Old School // Audi TT on Rotiform
Race or classics or fitted. There are several ways to have a memorable project car and be the word-of-mouth of many. Either achieve a tremendous success on the circuit with it, or use a legendary classics as a base car, or simply slam the heck out of it. That last option, aggressive fitment, has become one of the most popular …

All Stars // Subaru WRX STI on Work Wheels
One thing I like the most about the Indonesian car life is the unexpected things that could exist at the unexpected places. We ventured across the seas over this island-country and often found surprisingly outstanding car builds despite being miles away from the capital city. On our most recent trip, Charles J flew to the island of Sumatra, city of …

Flying Low // Jason’s SLS AMG on HRE
I know some people who like to fill their garage with just one particular brand of car. BMW enthusiasts, Porsche enthusiasts, and even VW enthusiasts are some of the most frequent ones I found. Many reasons exist for this behaviour: perhaps there’s really a brand-preference that runs in the family, or it’s simply due to personal affections with the brands’ …

Outrage // Gallardo LP550-2 on ADV.1
If you’ve seen plenty of cartoons during your childhood, or still watching them (let’s admit), then you’ll notice that bulls are among the most frequent animals being featured. Its bulky mass suggests brute force, and its tendency to go berserk seeing something red are amongst the most memorable traits. Always mad, always powerful. The same traits that Lamborghini is bringing …

Anti-Gravity // Mercedes-Benz A250 on Vorsteiner
‘Weight reduction’ is the common norm nowadays. Computers used to be as heavy and big as a bus; yet now you can fit one on the palm of your hands. I used to be fat myself; now I’m slimmer, thanks to a consistent diet program. Cars used to be really heavy back then; yet thanks to the advances in technology, …

Lights Out // Henry’s 535i F10 on ADV.1
The aggressive-fitment movement is, as we all are aware of, spreading like a wildfire; and seems like it is here to stay for a very, very long time. Having been spread further by the internet and social media, it isn’t hard to see the style movement being adopted all around the world. Yet little do people know that aggressive-fitment isn’t …

Radically Bespoke // M5 F10 on one-off LP106 ADV.1
There’s bespoke. Then there’s radically bespoke. In the world of automotive wheels, getting customised options for your ride isn’t exactly a new idea. From one-off colour options to special wheels dimensions, these are all the day-to-day offerings of most forged wheels companies. You customise, they deliver. You imagine, they produce. Today, however, I have a radically bespoke M5 build to …

Exponentially Exclusive // Lexus IS300 on VIP Modular
We all know that ‘wants’ are the driving factor behind every good company’s product line, often giving birth to innovative creations never seen before. A watch, for example, started its life in the 15th century as mere time keepers. These days, however, strong ‘wants’ for luxury has birthed some of the most delicately crafted timepieces the world has ever seen. …

Night Tricks // CLS63 AMG on ADV.1
Magic, as one movie puts it, “is focused on deception. Deceptions meant to entertain”. Said movie also tells us that, “the closer you think you are, the less you’ll actually see.” Magicians are good at these things. Most of these tricks, therefore, are not true ‘wizardies’, but relying on skills of deception and diversions instead. So what does it take …
