When Mitsubishi announced that they’ll stop producing the Evo, and with no apparent successor in sight, the motoring world is in total loss. It is understandable though, since the ‘affordable turbocharged 4WD 4-door sedan with WRC heritage’ has become a smaller and smaller market over time. Only time will tell whether Mitsubishi will continue Lancer Evolution’s legacy. Such discontinuation, however, …

Dressed to Impress // Adrian’s F30 3-Series on BC Forged

Dressed to impress. Three words that could make an impact to everyone. Simply put, you have to stand on proper apparels in order to wow the crowd upon your arrival.

New Commander // Henry’s BMW M4 on Klassen iD

Henry Ford, the ‘father of automobiles’, once said, “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would’ve said faster horses.” Decades later, the father of iPhones, Steve Jobs, also repeated this idea in his own fashion: “people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” In essence, these people shared the same idea about ‘visions of …

Tucked X Rolling // Terry’s Mark X on SSR

Among the 26 alphabets, the letter X is one of the most versatile one: it is usually associated with urban culture, common uses being the word x-treme and x-press.

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 …

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.

Anti-Gravity // Mercedes-Benz A250 on Vorsteiner

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.
