Proper 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 …

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 …

The 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.

Grown to Speed // Honda S2000 on TE37SL
These days I think the ‘stance’ car scenes are pretty much like desserts. They have a large fan-base, have very nice exterior presentations, and showcase some nicely executed, flavourful experiences. Yet not everyone likes them, and frankly they’re not too good for your health either (or car’s health in this matter). Slammed, static, bagged, we’ve seen and heard about them …

Flash 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 …

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. Winston explained further, stating explicitly that this one’s going to be special, one of the world’s first, because it’s running on a set Rotiform …

All Stars // Subaru WRX STI on Work Wheels
One thing I like the most about the Indonesian car life is the unexpected things that could exist at the unexpected places. We ventured across the seas over this island-country and often found surprisingly outstanding car builds despite being miles away from the capital city. On our most recent trip, Charles J flew to the island of Sumatra, city of …

Flying 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’ …

Outrage // 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 …

Anti-Gravity // Mercedes-Benz A250 on Vorsteiner
‘Weight reduction’ is the common norm nowadays. Computers used to be as heavy and big as a bus; yet now you can fit one on the palm of your hands. I used to be fat myself; now I’m slimmer, thanks to a consistent diet program. Cars used to be really heavy back then; yet thanks to the advances in technology, …
