Street Heat // Didot’s GT-R on Volk Rays
Meet the Nissan GT-R. The multi-million dollar gamble by the billion-dollar company. A supercar performance mated with a coupe’s practicality, whipped together under a humble pricing. Some say its acceleration is comparable to being hit by a truck. Others experience G-forces during corners so strong that necks are literally broken while driving the car (it’s Clarkson, check out the video …

Permaisuri Thursday // Evolution X on Weds
After posting hundreds of featured cars over these past few years at HnP, I’ve learned one fact about the Indonesian car culture: Japanese performance car owners have some of the longest mod-spec-lists in town. GTR, S2000, Evolution, Subaru, for example, have proven themselves to be the perfect platforms from which an owner could build his/her childhood dream rides; thus installing …

Nuvolks Morning Run 17 Nov 2013 // Photo Coverage
Today I have a set of freshly edited photos off Winston’s computer. It’s the Nuvolks Morning Run held Sunday 17 November 2013. With meeting point being Panahan Senayan at 5:30AM, the cruise was attended by 20-or-so watercooled Volks and friends. Panahan – Sentul City – VW BSD was the route. The drizzly morning was warmed by plenty of turbo boosts …

Profound Warrior // Richard’s Aristo on BC Forged
The road less traveled. As you might’ve already noticed, most of the cars featured on our site have always been equipped with bolt-on made-for-a-specific-model aftermarket parts. Proper. Neat. And more importantly reliable. Whether it’d be a set of Kahn bodykit or iND custom painted parts or even the GT86 bolt-on turbo kit. We love all of these mods because they …

Permaisuri Thursday // Evoque on DPE
What’s the most stylish SUV/crossover on our streets right now? Must be the Evoque! Contemporary, modern and perfectly suitable for the fashion seekers, Land Rover has combined the seductive looks of coupe design with the practicality of an off-roader. A weird formula for sure, but a very successful one nonetheless. What we have today is a rather special Evoque that’s …

Wallpaper Wednesday // McLaren MP4-12C
Meet the MP4-12C; the subtle supercar. With its dynamic suspensions system, welcoming interior and excellent daily-drivability, the MP4-12C is the supercar wrapped under a great load of practicalities. Yet it is still outperforming the performance of its rivals in the market. What lies underneath is a 600bhp+ 3.8 litre twin-turbo V8 combined with a vehicle mass that’s just under 1,400kg. …

Permaisuri Thursday // 3 Series E90 on Modulare
One of the world’s most renowned sculptor once said, “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Simplicity? Well, looking at the current trends in the automotive customization industry these days, seems like the same concept is still greatly pursued. Some of the most admirable builds (such as this Beetle from Canibeat) look almost way too simplistic at one glance, yet a closer …

Urban Ranger // CX-7 on Rennen Forged
The jeep lovers vs sedan lovers. Observe the toys-pile of a five year-old and you’ll have a pretty good guess at his future hobbies in life. Some collect robots. Others bikes. Some like supercars. Others jeeps and trucks. Looking at a broader perspective, automotive enthusiasts these days also do show a pretty strong polarity towards sedans vs jeeps as hobbies. …

Permaisuri Thursday // Tiguan on HRE
Meet the Tiguan. The famous Golf’s taller, larger and more adventurous older brother. Unfortunately, unlike it’s hatchback sibling’s worldwide popularity, the Tiguan is sort of lagging behind when it comes to sales, especially in the US. Reviewers say perhaps it’s due to the awkward proportions, or the “nothing to see here” styling of the exteriors, or the uninspiring “just another …
