Back in the 1930s, a Captain George Eyston decided that he wanted to set a new land speed record. So, he gathered a team of engineers to create the monstrosity known as the Thunderbolt and proceeded to set three land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Weighing almost 6,400 kg, the Thunderbolt’s body was made from aluminium and had a blunt, heavyset profile topped with a large triangular tailfin. Commonly described as the ‘behemoth’ or ‘leviathan’, the Thunderbolt is twice the weight of

Nearly two decades ago, at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the Vision CLS concept car, and the automotive world was infatuated by its beauty.

The 21-inch forged alloy wheels are also lighter than before. On top of making the suspension parts lighter, it has also been cal

Let’s get right down to it, the top 5 most expensive road tax in Peninsular Malaysia (privately owned): 1. Bugatti Chiron 8.0L – RM 24,630 2. Rolls-Royce Phantom/Bentley Mulsanne 6.75L – RM 19,005 3.

Bentley Continental GT 6.0L – RM 15,630 The figures above are not exact as engine capacities are almost never rounded to say, 6,000 cc for example, so there may be slight discrepancies. But even so, the actua
