Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur has opened its doors to the what the Gaydon based carmaker dubs the world’s first super tourer, the Aston Martin DB12. The DB12 marks a significant milestone for the company as it coincides with 2 significant milestones in 2023, that being its monumental 110th anniversary and 75 years of the illustrious DB model line. Under the swooping hood of the Aston Martin DB12 lies the familiar, hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that has been massaged by Aston Martin engineers to

Silky smooth to drive in town Loud and proud when you need it The ultimate one supercar to do it all? Waiters asking for sound checks, KL-ites magically finding the gumption to not tailgate, and no fewer than a dozen camera phones peering at us aren't usual experiences us WapCar writers go through. I suspect that has something to do with the hoi polloi nature of the cars we usually test.

More importantly, manufacturers like Audi were - up until this point in time - massive proponents of the dual clutch transmission (DCT). Other performance-oriented brands have also followed suit.

Here we have a Ferrari 812 Superfast prowling the streets of London. At a traffic light junction, the driver appears to switch off his traction and stability control systems.

The 2021 F90 BMW M5 facelift, or Lifecycle Impulse (LCI) in BMW-lingo, will be revealed on June 17. Kolesa.ru has previewed how the facelifted sports sedan will look like. As with preview renderings, this is by no means the final product. The design shouldn't stray too far from the recently-refreshed G30 5-Series lineup.
