Personal Speedy // DuelL AG MINI Cooper S
A true compact performer that’ll never be forgotten. Following the release of MINI’s new F56, the company has shoved-in a massive 2.0L engine into the new Cooper S engine bay. Bigger and more powerful, majorly support its ever-expanding body size. This leaves today’s R56 Cooper S as the final ‘true compact’ performer with its tinier 1.6L engine and shorter wheelbase. …

Titan // DuelL AG MINI Countryman on Volk Racing
Worlds collide. Today’s featured car started its life in the European continent, with decades-old legacies dating back to the 1950s. Today, it’s been corporately bought by BMW, yet still being strongly attached to its British heritages. On our streets of Jakarta, MINI itself has become the new urban icon of ‘stylish city-buzzler’. It’s daring designs, historic graphics and compact platform …

Glorious Executions // Duo Lamborghini Gallardo on ADV.1
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.

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 …

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 …

Along the Trip // MINI Clubman on ADV.1
An empty stretch of highway. A cross-city trip that awaits. A fun-filled weekend that’s coming up. Overnighter bags that are all packed up, sunshades hung on the crew-neck and a sun hat worn to tame the day. All is good and ready to go. It’s the holiday spirit that has kept us alive in this New Year day. The passion …

Mugello Blue // R8 on Vorsteiner

Here we bring you another exotic featured at hawk’n’poke: Mugello Blue R8. Yes, all these cars are in Indonesia. For those who are often in doubt, I remind you once again that all cars featured at hawk’n’poke …
