Dazzling // Denny’s W212 on OZ Futura

It’s one of those models you probably would have skipped; the E-Class sedan. That is, when you’re considering a new toy as your new project car. Mid-size, rather bland, very ‘corporate-fleet’ looking, and largely ‘Boring’. The S-Class would’ve been a greater platform for VIP-styles, while the C-Class would be perfect for sportier projects. Today, however, Denny is proving us otherwise. …

Benz in Black // E Class on HRE

You have to admit, the ‘Men in Black’ movies surely got some taste. In the first movie, the duo drove a memorably high-tech Ford Crown Victoria, which was transformed into a jet-powered ride through the push of a button. Driven upside down in a tunnel and blasted through traffic like a bullet train, it was definitely a fresh-factor to its …

Sublime Brilliance // S Class on ADV.1 from Surabaya

For the hunt of brilliantly modified cars in Indonesia, it’s not uncommon for us to look into the nooks and crannies of this country. And for today, our search led us to the Eastern end of Java. Specifically: Surabaya. As one of the major Indonesian cities in which its car cultures are close to the one we have here in …

You’re determined to conquering the local market with your offerings, letting more buyers taste your outstanding products. Where to start? Nothing better than having a strong hatchback as a backbone.

Golden Complication // S Class on Rotiform

The grass is greener on the other side – a term commonly used to describe conditions of a marginally better situation compared to one’s dwelling. Don’t be mistaken though – this term could motivate one to improve the local conditions, instead of being purely a sign of envy. Thus, what you’re seeing now could be seen as a successful attempt …

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 …

Unforgettable Feat // CLS63 AMG on ADV.1

If you’re into making a breakthrough in the realm of basically everything, consider mixing stuff as your card-in-the-sleeve: many examples exist, and instantly became a legend in their own rights simply due to the innovative and attractive features they possess. Sony’s Walkman is one case: when listening to one’s favorite tunes meets portability, the result is a long line of …

January Morning Rush // Photo Coverage

Earlier this year, our colleagues and friends held a casual morning cruise from Pantai Indah Kapuk to AEON Mall BSD. Enjoying Jakarta’s loose streets amidst the New-Year holiday season, it was a great morning to be outside while catching up with everybody’s plans for their 2016.

Deceptively Quick // Mercedes-Benz E400 AMG on BC Forged

Ever occurred to you that in a single car-brand there’s always a coherent interior/exterior feels among its model lineup, despite different body styles? That is something called as a design language, an image of self-impression that every car manufacturer uses to win buyers’ hearts. From the GLE450 AMG we posted several days ago to this saloon-body E400 AMG today, we’ve …

Oddly Sporty // Mercedes-Benz GLE450 AMG Coupe on Vellano

The time is now, for even SUVs to be given the four-door coupe treatment. First started by the CLS Coupe of Mercedes-Benz, where an E-Class platform was given a sleeker, lower and much more stylish silhouette, the four-door coupe styling has now ventured into the lands of compacts sedans (CLA, for example) and SUVs (X6 and GLE Coupe). Compared to …

Fly By // Bob’s SLK on BC Forged

There’s nothing quite like cruising in a convertible. The sensation of air rushing through your hair, the strong sense of speed, and the pronounced engine noises livening up the experience. It’s the closest bond one can attain between man, machines and nature. Bob, the owner of today’s featured car, has been longing for a convertible for as long as he …

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 …

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. Almost nothing outstanding in this life ever comes from a mere overnight effort. Time and knowledge are the essence in getting things right. Even in the world of automotive, it often takes years of R&D and evolutions to come …

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’ …

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, …

Night Tricks // CLS63 AMG on ADV.1

Magic, as one movie puts it, “is focused on deception. Deceptions meant to entertain”. Said movie also tells us that, “the closer you think you are, the less you’ll actually see.” Magicians are good at these things. Most of these tricks, therefore, are not true ‘wizardies’, but relying on skills of deception and diversions instead. So what does it take …

High Taste // Mercedes Benz CLS on ADV.1

Should you follow your minds, or should you listen more to others’ opinions? Too often in this car culture we’re living in, we’re worried about what others are thinking about our cars. Will it get enough likes on Instagram? Or will it be way too subtle to be talked about? A constant battle of going against the current while still …

Ripe and Hype // C Class on Rotiform

A lot of foods taste better when they are left ageing for a period of time, or ripened. Take a look at cheese. After being produced from the curdling and curd processing, most cheese are left to rest from a few days to several years. Cheese that take longer than usual amount of time, or are more difficult to process, …

Humongous // G63 AMG on ADV.1

Boxy styling, military origins, masculine atmosphere inside-out, and body-on-frame construction. These are the iconic philosophies found inside Mercedes Benz’s legendary G-Wagen throughout the decades, also widely known as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Mercedes-Benz has not only been known for its luxury sedans that are the kings of highways. They’ve also made a great history in building cars for the beaten paths. …
