The rotary revival from Mazda wasn’t quite what we expected but the Hiroshima-based carmaker still has quite the driving arsenal under its belt with the timeless Mazda MX-5. Based on the latest teaser from them, it appears that a new roadster-related concept based on the diminutive MX-5 will take centre stage at its stand in the Japanese Mobility Show, possibly indicating the design direction of the next generation. While Mazda hasn't outright said it's the new MX-5, the fact that Mazda’s stand

With prices of new cars increasing and demand also on the rise, plenty of hustlers are trying to make some profit by pricing their nearly-new purchases above the market price to get some willing buyers who will pay for anything just to get off a waiting list. Toyota Australia realises the existence of these price-gouging profiteers and is putting a stop to it for its most desirable model, the Toyota GR Corolla. The GR Corolla was just launched in Australia fairly recently and it is limited to ju

Endurance racing is perhaps one of the toughest proving grounds for any car – ask Toyota, they'll know.

Through Rookie Racing, they will field their ORC R

It would seem even the most iconic, pure driver's cars are not immune to the inevitable shift to electrification. Mazda has announced that its venerable sports car, the MX-5 Miata, will feature some form of electrification, for the model that will succeed the current ND generation. According to a Japanese publication, Mazda's R&D and Cost Innovation boss, Ichiro Hirose has remarked that the convertible MX-5 is in the "scope of electrification in 2030," which is consistent with Mazda's Sustainabl

The 2020 Toyota GR Yaris was launched in Malaysia yesterday evening, at a surprisingly low price of RM 299,000 (Update: RM 286,896 until June 2021). We say low because our local specifications GR Yaris comes equipped with Torsen Limited Slip Differential, BBS alloy wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, thicker anti-roll bars, and beefier front suspension – all optional extras elsewhere, equal to the UK market’s Circuit Package. Like for like, a GR Yaris with this specification is supposed to be

The 2021 Toyota GR Yaris is a future classic for sure and much has been talked about its hair-raising performance. To the delight of our eyes and ears, one driver has put that claim to the test at the Nürburgring. Driven by someone called Captain Gaskrank on YouTube, the GR Yaris can be seen blasting away at the famed 'Green Hell', clocking a bridge to gantry (BTG) time of 7 minutes and 56 seconds. For context, there's two ways of clocking the 'Ring: one is the full, 21 km lap and the other is t
