Get Hyped! // McLaren on Rotiform
Supercar customisation is all the rage nowadays. From the cityscapes of Tokyo to the beautiful beaches of Miami. From the countryside of Italy to dazzling-hub of Hong Kong. Slammed Ferraris, widened Lambos – from the lightly touched ones, to the heavily modified ones; they’re conquering the world! Last I checked, Daigo Saito has even turned a Murcielago into a drift-spec …
Read MoreReal Performer // Aventador on ADV.1
It’s no secret that most car enthusiasts began the journey towards car enthusiasm at a very young age; sometimes even from the ages of being a toddler. Definitely not by being handed a car at that early age; it’d be too dangerous and we’ll have too many under-aged drivers that way. Instead, the introduction began with scaled-down versions of the …
Read MoreIndisputable Icon // Ferrari 458 Italia on HRE
Agility. Precision. Enthusiasm. Road-going Ferrari’s have always been the irreplaceable, definite, and absolutely-perfect embodiment of Italian race cars for the streets. Uncompromisingly built for the thrills of speed, with designs and aeros that follow functions, not the other way around. Every single inch of the car has been tuned for a better overall performance, while every single interior piece has …
Read MoreBeyond Words // Supercharged Fab Design SLS AMG on ADV.1
This beast right here; has thrown out all the words we could’ve described it with, out of the window. Supercharged by Wiestec to over 800HP and sculpted by Fab Design with the flamboyant widebody kit, finished in such stunning-molten-silver color, this is the ultimate Mercedes Benz to tame every other supercar roaming our streets. Never have I seen such an …
Read MoreCircle of Speed // Ferrari 458 Speciale on ADV.1
It’s the most reasonable Ferrari you could’ve bought, but can no longer buy. The 458 Speciale. The sophisticated, hardcore, purist supercar built on top of the ‘regular guy’ 458 platform. Active aerodynamics mated to some so-nerdy-its-a-crime engine-and-handling system makes the Speciale truly the supercar of supercars. The dream drive for true enthusiasts and collectors alike. Its short production period (2013-2015) …
Read MoreGlorious Executions // Duo Lamborghini Gallardo on ADV.1
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success,” said Swami Vivekananda, an Indian Hindu monk and chief disciple of …
Read MoreExtraterrestrial // RevoZport Aventador on ADV.1
Science-fiction. The wonderful land where real-world knowledge and out-of-this-world imaginations are fused together into a singular, speculative, and often controversial execution. Ever since the early 1900s, the world has been left in awe by the rapid growth of such ‘discovery of the unknowns’ genre. From books to movies to everyday objects, these are the often-future-inspired ideas that have become our …
Read MoreNever Subtle // Lamborghini Gallardo on Rotiform
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. Its raging-bull badge immediately indicates the supercars’ association with the wrath and life-threatening instincts of a beast. Uncontrollable and shall never be tamed. Predictably, most earlier model Lamborghini’s behaved in …
Read MoreProject Candy // Ferrari California on HRE
Rise of the divergent. Throughout these past few years, I’ve been noticing more and more daring builds coming out of Indonesia. From RWB Porsche’s to Liberty Walk exotics to Rocket Bunny GT86’s, these outrageous rides have been showing up occasionally on our Instagram ‘Explore’ pages. But what’s even more noticeable is the growing trend for colorful wheels on most rides. …
Read MoreProper Classic // Ferrari 458 on HRE
An Italian architect, Luigi Caccia once mentioned,”[Italian designers are] better mediators between the past and the future.” A perspective which I’ve found rather interesting. Considering all the fine automobiles and fashion influences that Italian designers have brought out over the years, such a statement is pretty true. From Fiat to Pagani, we’ve all seen their uniquely eccentric-yet-timeless designs that has …
Read MoreThe Behemoth // Brabus x Mansory G63 AMG on ADV.1
Making a vase from clay requires hours of clay-handling experience; preparing a five-star sushi-course demands years or even decades of experience. Almost nothing outstanding in this life ever comes from a mere overnight effort. Time and knowledge are the essence in getting things right. Even in the world of automotive, it often takes years of R&D and evolutions to come …
Read MoreFlash 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 …
Read MoreMacchina Selvaggio // Vorsteiner Aventador on Forgiato
Fierce. Sharp. Wild. Fast. And unforgiving. An unmistakably anti-villain character birthed by a rebellious inventor and industrialist: Ferruccio Lamborghini. For decades Lamborghini supercars have been praised for their unpretentious designs and uncompromisingly high-performance traits. Always wider than most, always faster than most. Becoming the ultimate collectible items for successful entrepreneurs and eccentric car lovers alike. Today I have a rather …
Read MoreFlying 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’ …
Read MoreOutrage // 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 …
Read MoreEminence // Mansory Bentley Continental GT Speed on ADV.1
I used to believe in supercars. I used to love their insanity for speeds, being so fast they’re often called jet fighters for streets. Super tight cockpits with roaring exhaust notes and flashing backfires. Ahh, the good old days of us boys daydreaming, when we were all kids. Surely, Ferrari and Lamborghini have become our childhood icons for these kinds …
Read MoreStreet Rules // Porsche 911 Turbo S on HRE
Porsche. Most people recognise it for the company’s range of high-performance sports cars. Highly capable of churning large HP outputs (such as today’s Turbo S with an excess of 520HP), yet perfectly safe to be manoeuvred across tight alleys under low speed. Iconic curvy aerodynamic design is another top-of-mind for the brand. However, the way I see it, Porsche hasn’t …
Read MoreArtisan // Novitec Rosso Ferrari 458 Spider on ADV.1
I’ve always been a fan of Ferrari’s. The F40 was the one that got me into it. It was the supercar icon of my childhood. The bedroom posters I had. The Hot Wheels collectibles I kept safely inside my tiny, colourful drawers. Little did I know about its turbocharged engine back then. Little did I know about its 324km/h top …
