Like how Singer is to Porsche or Eagle is to Jaguar, local outfit, Dream Street Restoration (DSR) can be associated with Proton when it comes to the art of restoring the Malaysian Tiger’s legacy models. We are well acquainted with the father-son team here who graciously gave us the opportunity to experience two of their projects beforehand, the C99 Wira 1.8 EXi and the Proton Putra. Recently, DSR has opened the doors to its garage in USJ 1 and it’s a place of fantasy for fans of Proton’s cult he

The Proton Satria GTi was many teenagers' dream car back in the noughties, and also the first hot hatch that many young working adults aspired to own. And it's easy to see why. Handling tuned by Lotus, grunty naturally aspirated engine, a slick manual transmission. All the right ingredients for a great time behind the wheel. Till today, used examples of the Satria GTi are still very sought after. Like this unit we have here. This particular Satria GTi was manufactured in 2000 (with 110,577 km on

Proton had auctioned off some of its concept prototypes and rally cars in an unprecedented move on its automotive history. Thankfully, some of them have been pulled out from the auction by Proton. Some of these prototypes and university creations probably deserved the scrap but there were some which should be preserved. Apart from the PERTs and the Petronas E01-powered cars, the one that stood out in the list was a pair of Satria Cabriolets. While the United Kingdom was the prime export market f

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has skipped the “regular” Mercedes-AMG A45 and gave us the range-topping A45 S version in Edition 1 outfit. It’s yours for RM 459,888. The A45 S also comes with the Night Package which means most of the trim pieces are blacked out, such as the side mirrors, exhaust tips, bumper surrounds, etc. There’s also the aggressive Panamericana front grille with vertical slats and quad exhaust tips. And the Edition 1 package adds a larger front splitter, larger spoiler and a more pro

Engine specific output is typically measured by power-per-litre. It shows how efficient an engine is at producing power relative to its size. In the past, 100 PS-per-litre was considered the holy grail, only found in supercars or high-performance sports cars. Now, especially with turbocharging, it has become a lot more common and some even go far beyond it. So, here are 5 cars that pretty much says, “size doesn’t matter.” Ford GT – 191 PS-per-litre Recently updated with slightly more power at 66
