GENESIS Car Show and Gath // hawk’n’poke X Hellaflush // Part 1
To say our team was not exhausted would be a lie. To say we’re not impressed by the quality of cars would not be true. To say we’re satisfied would not 100% be correct. It’s tiring, it’s exciting, it’s refreshing, it’s memorable, yet it’s very very far from perfect. It’s GENESIS – it’s the beginning. Mid of 2012 hawk’n’poke team …

Show Off // GT-R R35 on Volkracing

Forged 1-piece construction and thin spokes design have made this G12 to be one of the lightest and strongest Japanese …

Show Off // S212 E Class Estate on HRE
I’m actually quite surprised to find the E Class Estate being available in Jakarta. I’ve never seen one in person, and yet here’s one looking magnificent on a set of 20″ HRE P93L wheels. The E Class Estate has its styling cues derived from the saloon version, plus a large hunchback at the rear to accomodate almost 2,000 litres of …

High Street // S-Class on HRE
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class. One of the most popular upscale sedans that roam the streets of Jakarta. High rise buildings, CBD areas, golf courses and lavish housing complexes are among the natural habitats of these long wheel-based sedans. Despite their popularity, I still find it difficult to spot ‘heavily’ modified S-Classes. Most owners I knew have simply installed aftermarket wheels on …

Mind Trick // CLS63 AMG on Modulare
Fuel economy of 10 liter/100 km. Four doors. 0-100 kph in 4.4 seconds. 550 bhp. Sold as 63 despite its 5.5L engine. On paper these stuffs do not seem to make sense. Borderline impossible to build, possibly going to be difficult to sell. But don’t be fooled. A quick glance at the 2013 CLS63 AMG and you’ll understand why. While …

The Apex // Skyline on Nismo Edition Volk
The more I get to know the Indonesian car culture, the more I feel like I’m becoming a part of the minority. I despise wannabes (Lancer with Evolution badge? Stay away), I don’t personally like body conversions (Lancer to Ferrari? You’re fooling yourself), I pay 0 respect to those 5 Series diesels wearing M5 badges, I’ll say you’re cheap if …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on HRE
A while ago Charles posted a Show Off article featuring a car that can quite possibly be the fastest X6M in Indonesia. It was installed with a plethora of Vorsteiner branded items and Akra exhaust system (Link: Vorsteiner X6M). A couple of days ago Charles met the same owner again to take several quick pictures of his F10 5 Series …

LOVE for JAKARTA Coverage
Floods, hella-floods! Due to the recent water damage covering plenty of areas in Jakarta (some areas were even flooded up to 1.5mtr deep!), the GENESIS Team decided to reschedule the Jan 26th Car Show event to Feb 23rd. Several weather forecasters predicted Jan 26th-27th to be the pinnacle of Jakarta’s rainfall, worsened by rising sea levels. Not taking chances nor …

Show Off // Audi A5 on Modulare
Released by Audi as the coupé version of its A4, the A5 has inherited the A4’s modern design cues. It is Audi’s answer to the market’s need for a more compact yet stylish luxury automobile.

Daily Stretch // E46 3 Series on CCW
This E46 first caught my attention while I was attending HIN contest late 2012. If you can remember, I put this E46’s picture as the featured image on that contest’s coverage article. This time Mex has had the chance to do a full photo shoot for this stance machine. It’s pretty obvious that the ride has been purposely built for …

A Composer // Lamborghini Gallardo on Rennen Forged
Couple of days ago I posted the quite unusual yellow painted Z4 sent in by Mex from Bandung. Today’s ride he sent me is even more outrageous. 1) It’s a Lamborghini. 2) It’s wearing the not-so-usual Rennen Forged wheels of choice. 3) It’s been installed with a set of custom fibre and carbon body parts. A typical Lamborghini owner these …

Some Called It Landshark // Yellow (paint) Z4
From Laguna Seca Blue M3, today we move on to another uniquely colored BMW: a shiny yellow Z4. Yes the color has been achieved through a repaint, but it shines pretty good. You can see the depths and shades in these pictures yourself, they are real nice. A daring move indeed for the owner of this used to be silver-colored …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on DPE
The DPE SP-SC7 is surely a perfect example of well-executed concave wheel design. It’s got the lines, depths, and finishings that have created a very techy and 3D-looking wheel. Such popular and favorited design, however, has a rather unpleasant drawback: the rise of replicas. I’ve seen a lot of similarly designed wheels (most are replicas wearing DPE center caps) on …
