Permaisuri Thursday // E90 on Rays Homura
Let me give you an interesting fact: among Indonesia’s major highend sedans (Mercedes, Audi, and BMW), BMW is the one most often posted at hawk’n’poke. I’m sure this has to do with the number of modified BMW’s out there. We have MOCI, for example, which shows just how much ///M cars are reigning over AMG’s in population. S and RS …

Show Off // GT86 on Volk Rays

Others were built so roughly and unthoroughly by the designers, with timely market entry becoming the only priority. Few are, however, built to represent the rebirth of legends. Designed, built …

GENESIS Car Show and Gath // hawk’n’poke X Hellaflush // Part 1
To say our team was not exhausted would be a lie. To say we’re not impressed by the quality of cars would not be true. To say we’re satisfied would not 100% be correct. It’s tiring, it’s exciting, it’s refreshing, it’s memorable, yet it’s very very far from perfect. It’s GENESIS – it’s the beginning. Mid of 2012 hawk’n’poke team …

Mind Trick // CLS63 AMG on Modulare
Fuel economy of 10 liter/100 km. Four doors. 0-100 kph in 4.4 seconds. 550 bhp. Sold as 63 despite its 5.5L engine. On paper these stuffs do not seem to make sense. Borderline impossible to build, possibly going to be difficult to sell. But don’t be fooled. A quick glance at the 2013 CLS63 AMG and you’ll understand why. While …
