The Impeccable Family Van // Winston’s Alphard on Rotiform
The family van. I’d say it’s one of the most perfect candidates for an air-suspension setup. With air-ride sedans, it’s more of a form-over-function kind of purpose; yes, mostly all about looking good aired-out. But with vans, I feel like it’s totally a different package altogether. Yes, they also look supremely good aired-out; but most importantly, the passenger-access for getting …

Modern Tuner // BMW 3-Series on Rotiform
The new-generation 3 Series has become an ever-so-popular choice among modern tuning enthusiasts with its more powerful, easier to tune, turbocharged engines.

Today’s featured car happens to posses …

Never Enough // Range Rover on Rotiform
One of mankind’s natural mindset is that sometimes, it wants more than what’s available on hand; there is never enough. We witnessed how prehistoric men used stone tied to a stick as a hammer; now, different kind of hammers exist.

Ruthless, cunning and dangerous. Ever since its humble beginnings in 1963, Automobili Lamborghini has continuously made itself known as the most outrageous and rebellious supercar manufacturer on the entire planet.

From the Depths // Benny’s 435i on Rotiform
A special delivery. Ever since the 3-Series coupe was rebirthed as 4-Series, we knew that things are about to get way much more interesting. No longer would the coupe need to resemble any of the 3-Series’ looks, and no longer would it has to fill any predecessor’s shoes. Well frankly, it doesn’t have any designated predecessor anyway. The 4-Series is …

Happy Makeover // Porsche Cayman on ADV.1

Constantly new parts are added into the build, often replacing older ones that are starting to look outdated. Always innovating to be different, always pushing the limits of creativity. Today’s Cayman has been featured previously through this article. …

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.

Unheard, Uncommon // Audi Q5 on Rotifom
It all started during WWII, when the Allies-faction needed light vehicles capable of crossing rough battlefield terrains with troops, equipment and supply-carrying capabilities. A do-it-all vehicle for mild terrains. They soon came up with these tough, unbreakable-yet-light vehicles we often refer to as the ‘Jeeps’. Throughout the war, civilians saw these vehicles in action and grown way too fond of …

Ripe and Hype // C Class on Rotiform
A lot of foods taste better when they are left ageing for a period of time, or ripened. Take a look at cheese. After being produced from the curdling and curd processing, most cheese are left to rest from a few days to several years.

Beauty in Subtlety // MINI Cooper S on Rotiform
Retro-design rules! At least that’s been the case for all MINI’s. With its iconic rounded styling, MINI’s have exhibited a strong ‘two sides of a coin’ appearance; often kinda-cute in stock form, but also very aggressive when modded. Two very different personalities often found among the MINI’s rolling on our streets. Today’s featured MINI, however, has gone through a totally …
