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 …

Posh Cruiser // Aimgain Lexus RX on Vossen

This week we’ve had quite a few SUVs posted on the site. We’ve had the HRE Tiguan by Permaisuri posted last week and the Rennen Forged CX-7 posted some days ago. These rides are true exhibits demonstrating the fact that current trends don’t always have to revolve around aggressive fitments. After all, on these terrible streets we’ve been stuck with, …

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 …

Delightful Shine // SLK on AMG

You might’ve seen his boosted GT86 posted a while back. With an AVO turbo kit and a mod-list so staggering that it should definitely be considered as one of finest 86’s in town; Heintje has surely known his way around building some great modded rides. Today our team has had the chance to shoot his other ride, the Mercedes Benz …

Permaisuri Thursday // Evoque on HRE

Yes! I think it’s about time we’re seeing more daring wheel colors on our streets! What’s been quite a trend overseas has now been creeping slowly it’s way up to our car culture. You must’ve seen the A4 on blue wheels from the Indostance article, or the hyper blue TE37SL 1M from Surabaya, or the Volvo on gold Work wheels …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 1M on Rays

Last week we’ve featured the 135i on DPE, some time ago we’ve also featured the M135i on BBS; today it’s time for these rides’ beefier brother: the BMW 1M. Meaner, wider, and faster, the 1M has been infused by BMW Motorsport division’s culture of speed and precision on top of its 1-Series platform. From flared fenders to the aggressive bumpers, …

The Marvelous Coupe // 640i on ADV.1

Have you ever wondered what ‘BMW’ stands for? Apparently it’s Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works in English. ‘Bavarian’ because one of BMW’s founding companies was headquartered in Bavaria, and ‘Motor Works’ because it used to specialize in the manufacture of engines/motors, especially aircraft engines. Why aircraft engines? Because BMW was conceived from the merger of three companies, two …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 135i on DPE Wheels

If you’ve ever heard of the BMW 2002 coupes, then you’d be familiar with BMW’s 1968 offering of compact sprinter. Short wheelbase, tall cabin and often fitted with powerful engines (think of the 2002tii). Fast forward a few years later and the 2002 has become what 3 Series are today. Grown up, accommodating and convenient. Exactly what the market needed, …

Rise and Fall // Babat’s 7 Series on Vorsteiner

This past half-a-decade we’ve been seeing a rapid rise in the number of US aftermarket companies trying to tap into the premium European-cars aftermarket industry. Especially when it comes to wheels/bodykits. With most claiming their products to have been proudly produced “in house” in the United States. Limitless customizations. Exceptional quality. Outstanding marketing strategies. Premium prices. Through stunning product photo-shoots …

Permaisuri Thursday // Range Rover Autobiography on DPE

The Range Rover. A British icon that’s been handled by the German (BMW 1994), the American (Ford 2000) and lately the Indian (Tata 2008) throughout the company’s history. British design. German technologies. American rigidity. Indian business model. All of these traits have shaped up the Range Rover that we know today, and along these ownerships we can also see the …

Permaisuri Thursday // E Coupe on DPE

Never. Never have I imagined that the E Coupe can look so stunning wearing such banana’s outfit. Looks so right; looks so nice. Browsing through the history of E Coupe’s I’ve posted in HnP, they all seemed to be rather monochromatic. Black. Silver. Grey. White. Nothing else. Essentially they all looked good while showcasing the E Coupe’s elegant lines. But …

Permaisuri Thursday // Range Rover Vogue on Kahn

The Range Rover Vogue. A beast of might and luxury. It lets you travel across all nasty, muddy terrains while still being snuggled by its spacious first-class cabin. As sturdy as a brick, yet as relaxing as the ocean’s breeze. For years Land Rover (company) has used this formula again and again for the RR, successfully catered to the needs …

The Continental Coupe // Lukman’s E Coupe on BC Forged

From the same owner whose GT86 was featured several days ago, here I bring to you his Mercedes Benz E Coupe. A pair of two-doors. One Japanese. The other being European. Two entirely different breed of coupes. Both has been installed with mods that have boosted up their aesthetics and performance areas. But while the GT86 has been planned to …

Permaisuri Thursday // M135i on BBS

Meet BMW’s latest creation from its BMW Performance division. No, it’s not one of those full-blown performance-focused M cars. Compared to the 1M coupe, for example, this M135i shares more of its traits to the standard 1-series hatchbacks, rather than the limited-run coupe. An angry-bird-looking facia with a sleek rear end, the M135i’s design and functionalities resembles those of BMW’s …

Show Off // Kevin’s S500 on Work VS

In case you’re wondering, these so called “Show Off” articles on HnP are dedicated to fans submission pics or some quick shoots by our photographers. Couple of days ago I’ve posted the Accord on BBS shot by Charles, and today we have this S500 on VS as our spotlight, sent in all the way from Surabaya. Having owned the S500 …

Permaisuri Thursday // Scirocco R on Rays

The Scirocco. The lineup that’s been missing for 16 years in VW’s portfolio. The last MK2 ever produced was in 1992, and it wasn’t until 2008 that VW decided to bring the Scirocco back to life. Perhaps it’s due to the Golf’s popularity, and VW not wanting to eat away the sales of its own hatchback lineup. But then the …

Show Off // BMW F10 on Hamann Race Edition

Wheels make it or brake it. I am standing by that philosophy. What follows after wheels would be their fitment and dimensions as suited to the car. From diameter, width, to offsets; these are the ‘orchestratic’ combinations that can sometimes be difficult to understand, yet are playing a very crucial role in making up the overall look of the car. …

Night Rush // Cayman on ADV.1

For a sec let me take you to that time of the week again – Friday. Work’s over. Weekend coming up. The night’s calling. Gingham shirt. Navy chinos. Leather loafers. All dressed up and ready to go. But then in the garage you’re faced with these choices: the TT, Z4 and Cayman. The TT’s kinda nifty and compact. The Z4’s …

Permaisuri Thursday // E Class Estate on Carlsson

As infrequently found as they are on the road, here we surprisingly have the third E Class estate ever sent in by Permaisuri. First we had was the one wearing HRE Wheels. Not long after came the one dressed up with AMG wheels. Today Permaisuri sent us this AMG Package equipped S212 estate wearing the Carlsson 1/5 Revo wheels. Targeted …
