Indonesia’s Finest Automotive Movie To-Date // Street Society The Movie
Thirty high-end cars, about half of which are exotics. Ferrari. Lamborghini. McLaren. Bentley. Porsche. Over USD 11 million in total value fit into a single, Indonesian movie. How on earth are we not supposed to be amazed by such staggering efforts? It’s about time for Indonesian movies to shine. For us to be proud of ourselves in being Indonesians, being …

Show Off // Duta’s Accord on BC Forged
On today’s Show Off short article, we have a 2007 Honda Accord that’s been frequently seen at Jakarta’s recent meets and shows. Even though the seventh generation Accord has been around for 10 years by now, not many have been touched by owners’ customizations. To stand out from all those just-another-daily-driven Accords out there, Duta the owner has ordered these …

Imagine yourself driving along the highway. What car will you be driving? Will you be cruising inside the ride of your dreams? A Ferrari? GT-R? RWB? Or will you still be …

Permaisuri Thursday // Beetle on ERST Grora
Meet the Beetle. Arguably one of the most iconic cars ever built. Perhaps even as memorable as the Porsche 911, with a timeless design that has been passed over ever since it was introduced in 1938. However, unlike the 911 that still retains a rear-engine setup, VW has decided to relocate the Beetle’s engine to the front. Then also came …

Wallpaper Wednesday // BMW Generations
BMW is definitely one of the most popular luxury brands ever featured on our site. Despite having sales figures that’s only half of its major competitor’s (Mercedes sold 4,100 units vs BMW 2,211 units in Indonesia last year); I find it interesting that we’re seeing a much larger number of modified BMWs on the streets (also think about the ///M …

Built to Thrill // Posma’s N54 1M Hatchback
Started as a hobby and yet becoming a business? What could’ve been better than that? I personally started venturing into photography as a hobby, yet ended up becoming a part-time automotive photographer at the moment. A story that’s also happening to other HnP crews. Same thing has also occurred to Posma, owner of today’s outrageous 1M; his passion for BMW’s …

The Editorial Duo // GTI MKV & MKVI
Behind the site, behind the photo shoots, behind the writings, behind all these hobby/passion jobs we do at HnP, each of our crew members has our own car projects we’re working on. We’ve always loved cars; we continuously admire other people’s builds through our site features. And we’re also dreaming of one day having our own ‘killer’ builds to be …

Permaisuri Thursday // MINI on HRE Vintage
Low is not enough. These days the “aggressive fitment” scene has been storming our car culture uncontrollably. They’re everywhere. No doubt, most lowered cars look mindblowingly stunning when paired with the right set of wheels. But let’s do keep in mind that being low is not everything; it’s not the end of the story. Throwing out the springs off your …

Rapid Rage // CLS63 AMG on BC Forged
Hitting redlines. Exhaust drums on shifts. Real force of G’s pulling the body away from seats on every corners. Pushing tires’ tractions to their limits. Hearts pumped. Eyes focused. Mind strolls away in a hypnotic state of addiction. Addiction for speeds. Few, only a very select few of cars in this entire world that can satisfy enthusiasts’ thirstiest addiction for …

Show Off // Arief’s RVR on Volk Racing
Every once in a while we’d come across builds that go way beyond people’s expectations. Yes, we’ve featured Lamborghini’s with carbon bodykit the price of a car. Yes we’ve featured rides with wheels alone costing more than $10k. But most of the time, the bottom-line of these mods contributes to only a small fraction of the car’s price. So what’s …

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 …

Mr Rare Rims // E30 on BBS
Mr Rare Rims. He’s like a father to me from another car world. I first met him when I bought a set of lips for my BBS RS back in 2009. He was a collector and seller for some of the most hard-to-find wheels and parts, with collections including a set of mirror finish Mugen MF10 17″ – a dream …

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 // Maserati GranTurismo on Modulare
Officially it’s called the Modulare C22. But can never be found on the wheel manufacturer’s site. How’s that possible? Well, this nicely shaped concave wheels have actually been specifically devoted for sale only at Permaisuri. Call it Modulare C22 Permaisuri Edition if you wish. Unique and extremely exclusive, these gems definitely suit the looks of any exotics and supercars. A …

JDM.RUN December Cruise // Photo Coverage
The JDM.RUN crew is back with a December run; held last Sunday December 15th. With the route being Panahan – Gading – Cawang – Senayan – Airport – Pantai Indah Kapuk, it was a rather long and exciting cruise for the sunny day. Filled with plenty of boost spools and exhaust roars. Starting point being Panahan at 5:30, the cruise …

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. …

Wallpaper Wednesday // JDM.RUN
Last weekend the JDM.RUN crew did another morning run around the city, with quite several Evo’s joining the rush. Here’s a teaser picture from Charles J, which I’ve also posted as this week’s Wallpaper Wednesday. Car in focus on today’s post is none other than Didi’s Evo VIII we posted several days ago. Well built and immaculately maintained, his Daytona …

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 …
