Phenomenal // Rocket Bunny GT-R on ADV.1

Every once in a while we’d stumble upon local automotive builds that are simply phenomenal; they’re unlike any other creations you’d find roaming our streets.

Supercharged Saloon! // BMW M3 on ADV.1

Mention ‘performance car’ and most Indonesians would associate the term with a two-door body style. Yes, the coupes/cabrios, which often comes with four-seats, yet quite a huge hassle to get into. Only a select few would associate the term with saloons – except today’s M3 owner, whose performance ride of choice is peculiarly standing apart from the rest. At first …

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 …

Circle 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.

All at Once // Audi Q5 on ADV.1

I love surprises; there’s always something hidden and exciting out there, waiting to be found. That curiosity once brought me to ‘nasi bogana’; a local traditional cuisine consisting of rice wrapped in banana leaf, accompanied with eggs, chicken, and tempeh inside.

Risks & Beauties // CLS350 on ADV.1

Great risks come from great opportunities. Sure, comfort zones are becoming everybody’s most favourite shelters; but it’s also the biggest hindrance to one’s growth. Had Isaac Newton stayed in-house all day long, he probably wouldn’t have come across the falling apple; and the theory of gravity wouldn’t have been credited to his name. Risks keep us growing, make companies fruitful …

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.

Primal Instinct // Marshall’s Cayman on ADV.1

Curves. They are much more seductive than straight lines, and even more alluring to the eyes than fractal lines. Whether it’d be in two-dimensional or three-dimensional forms, curves are incredibly good-looking in most design principles. Perhaps because nature itself lends to some of the greatest curves ever existed (from earth’s curvature to seagulls’ wings). This is why designers often create …
