One Stage Above // Alphard on Wald

The Toyota Alphard. One of the most interesting and peculiar outliers found within Toyota’s people-carrier lineup. Remove the badge, have a sit inside the luxurious interior of the van, and you might as well decide that it could have been passed as a Lexus. This is especially true on the new model such as the one we are featuring today. …

Tough Shell // Mercedes Benz G55 AMG on ADV.1

Imagine that you’ve been doing work outside, today. A very hot day, guaranteed to turn anyone into a sweat-drenched soak. You seek for refreshments, but a mere iced water won’t do. So what’s it going to be? For me, coconut water is the best answer. Fresh, natural and energizing. A common sight on beaches, coconuts are among the list of …

Deceptively Quick // Mercedes-Benz E400 AMG on BC Forged

Ever occurred to you that in a single car-brand there’s always a coherent interior/exterior feels among its model lineup, despite different body styles? That is something called as a design language, an image of self-impression that every car manufacturer uses to win buyers’ hearts. From the GLE450 AMG we posted several days ago to this saloon-body E400 AMG today, we’ve …

Oddly Sporty // Mercedes-Benz GLE450 AMG Coupe on Vellano

The time is now, for even SUVs to be given the four-door coupe treatment. First started by the CLS Coupe of Mercedes-Benz, where an E-Class platform was given a sleeker, lower and much more stylish silhouette, the four-door coupe styling has now ventured into the lands of compacts sedans (CLA, for example) and SUVs (X6 and GLE Coupe). Compared to …

Luxury Chariot // Air Runner Harrier on Modulare Forged

When we think of birds, the ones that came up on our minds are usually small, peaceful avian creatures; small enough to hold on our fingers while emitting cheerful sounds, fed on seeds. But there are also birds that are way bigger than these ones sized for the cuckoo clocks; the harrier bird being one of them. Related to the …

Stone to Gem // Range Rover on ADV.1

No doubt planet Earth is an endless place to explore. On land, many breathtaking places can be found, with most of the beauties hidden among challenging beaten paths. This is where our love for SUVs come into place. Tough chassis, smart four-wheel-drive systems, massive torques, and ground clearance high enough for dwarfs to camp under. A tough chunk of engineering …

Humongous // G63 AMG on ADV.1

Boxy styling, military origins, masculine atmosphere inside-out, and body-on-frame construction. These are the iconic philosophies found inside Mercedes Benz’s legendary G-Wagen throughout the decades, also widely known as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Mercedes-Benz has not only been known for its luxury sedans that are the kings of highways. They’ve also made a great history in building cars for the beaten paths. …

Boxer Baron // Daniel’s TechArt Porsche Boxster

Boxer + Roadster = Boxster? This is the car that has undoubtedly been the winning recipe to Porsche’s success in the 1990s. Born during the company’s financially challenging period in the early 90s, the sporty roadster has almost quadrupled Porsche’s sales figure in just a four-year period. The forefront savior. With other competitors such as Z3, SLK and humble Miata …

Permaisuri Thursday // Evoque on DPE Elite 7

With so many Permaisuri customers wearing DPE wheels, I’m pretty sure this Jakarta-bound dealership must’ve been one of DPE’s finest worldwide partners. From Rolls Royce to a Ferrari, to a MINI Countryman, we-ve seen Permaisuri executing some greatly designed DPE wheels on highend vehicles. On today’s Permaisuri Thursday they presented us with their latest creation: the Evoque on DPE Elite …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 5 Series F10 on Hamann

Any BMW fan would’ve agreed that one of the most iconic wheel designs that look good on just every BMW model is the multi-spoked. Take the classic Alpina wheel as an example. From E30 to F01, they all look good sitting on those long, straight multi-spoked design lines. There’s a strong sense of class and heritage with those wheels, perfectly …

Rebellion // Porsche Cayman on PUR

Recently I stumbled upon an article about RUF’s 3800S Boxster that’s been fitted with top-of-the-line 3.8L 911 engine. A pretty radical approach in turning Porsche’s mid-engined “affordable roadster” into a beast capable of devouring Porsche’s very own prestigious Carrera. While the 911 Carrera has always been designed by the German to stay true to its rear-engined roots, the Boxster/Cayman has …

Hot Spice // Cayenne Hamann on TechArt

When Porsche first introduced the Cayenne in 2002, the world was rather shocked by its appearance. Reviewers all around the world commented on its hideous appearance while Porsche purists endlessly moaned about the brand’s diversion from being a pure-bred sportscar manufacturer. Based on the VW Touareg platform but built with Porsche craftsmanship, the luxury SUV was pretty much the cash-cow …

Permaisuri Thursday // Range Rover Sport on Kelleners

Perhaps only a few of you have ever heard of the brand Kelleners. Among Hamann, AC Schnitzer and the like, apparently Kelleners is the lesser known BMW tuner in Indonesia. Born from a heritage of the Kelleners’ family, who were successful in European racing series since the 1960s, Kelleners Sport now focuses on BMW performance tuning packages and aftermarket parts. …

The Charm // Mike’s 325Ci on BBS

Drive a two-door for a day and you’ll understand. The glory of a coupe’s charm. An effect obviously happening in our automotive culture. Ever since the early 1980s, the general public has always had that special appraisal towards two-door cars. I repeat: the general public. Meaning not only the automotive enthusiasts, but also all those bystanders who don’t even have …

No doubt HRE is one of our favorite wheels in the market. After the MINI Cooper on R series last week, today Permaisuri comes back with yet another HRE build. Posh, sporty and exciting, today’s Cayman has been fitted with a set of P series HRE, type P107 to be precise. Unlike the R series which have been designed with …

A Nation’s Pride // TRD Indonesia GT86 Concept Car

Toyota. The brand most well-known for its expertise in efficiency, practicality and reliability. All of which are the very fundamental factors that determine the success of mass-produced vehicles. Undoubtedly the company has been very good at it, even perhaps world’s best. But how can the company cater to those consumers whose heads are filled with horsepower figures and whose ears …

Shipshape // Anthony’s USDM Fit on SSR

An overseas ride coming in! Today I have a set of pictures sent in by Eric Tanzil which he took during his US SEMA trip. Owned by a fellow Indonesian currently living in the states (Anthony), this USDM (US Domestic Market) Fit features quite a different look when compared to our local Honda Jazz. Details such as yellow headlight reflectors …
