Headlights are meant to help illuminate the way in places with poor visibility. But by literally flipping them, they are transformed into one of the coolest design elements ever. As iconic as they are, tough pedestrian safety regulations meant that it is unlikely that we’ll see pop-up lights making a comeback on production cars in the near future. According to Wikipedia’s page on pop-up headlights, there are at least 180 known production models that were fitted with pop-up lights. Putting all wo

Naza Italia Sdn. Bhd. has officially launched the 2022 Ferrari 296 GTB in Malaysia. Joining the line-up that includes the Roma, Portofino M, and the SF90 here, the latest berlinetta is priced from RM 1,228,000 before insurance, taxes, duties, and customisation options.

The 296 GTB ('296' is an allusion to 2.9L, six cylinders) also breaks ground as the brand's second plug-in hy

Malaysia's gradual reopening of her economic sectors have seen quite a few new cars burst into the scene, and among them - sitting all the way up on the price scale - is this. Say hello to the 2021 Ferrari Portofino M. The 'M' in its name stands for modificata - Italian for modified - a suffix Ferrari has occassionally used over the years to mark models that have received significant technological updates. Yes, the M, the shared principle behind hallowed models like the 512 M, 456 M GT, and the

Ferrari has unveiled its new mid-engine supercar, the 296 GTB, which sits right alongside the Ferrari F8 Tributo.

That’s right, this is a Ferrari with a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine. Specifically, the 2,992cc means that when it does arrive in Malaysia, it translates to a road tax figure of RM 2,110. Not only that, it’s electrified to produce a total

You're looking at the 2021 Ferrari SF90 Spider - an evolution of the SF90 Stradale that was unveiled in Malaysia last year. In case you haven't guessed it yet, this is the convertible counterpart to the fixed-roof Stradale. That also means it's gotten a bit pricier, starting at RM 2.08 million before duties, customisation options, taxes, and insurance. That's RM 188k dearer than the RM 1.9 million SF90 Stradale with the same pricing caveats. Beyond the eye-watering price tag, other numbers are a
