As the marque’s first series production mid-engine supercar, there’s a lot of expectations on the Aston Martin Valhalla and the carmarker is leveraging its Formula 1 tech to speed up development. The technical crossover between Aston Martin and its Formula 1 team is facilitated by the consulting arm of the team, Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT). AMPT is directly assisting Aston Martin's performance engineering team in three key areas of development - dynamics, aerodynamics and materi

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. Our office today however is a just a tiny bit different: we're cocooned in the supple leather seats of the Fe

It looks like the A90 Toyota GR Supra is a far more successful, much better received product by enthusiast drivers than its non-identical twin the BMW Z4. Of course, differences in body style – coupe vs convertible - as well as the additional premium that BMW charges for what is essentially the same car underneath, is also a factor but the gap in price is not that big.

Every year, on June 6, the Fuji Speedway racing circuit plays host to the aptly-named 'Fuji 86 Style with BRZ'. Obviously this 'Fuji 86 Style with BRZ' festival is to celebrate the 2022 Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ, both of whom have now received second-generation successors. Think of it like the Japanese equivalent of Volkswagen's Worthersee festival. With that, famous Japanese tuning houses turned up in force to display hot versions (see what I did there?) of the all-new Toyobaru twins. Out of t

2020 is quite a challenging year but as the saying goes, the show must go on. And went on it did as Malaysia saw around 80 models launched this year. Despite movement restrictions for almost the whole year, that is still an impressive number all things considered. But while we have a list featuring 15 of the most important cars of the year, this time, we’re going to focus on most expensive cars that were launched in 2020. We’ll focus on 10 and some might have been sold out by the time you finish

The next-generation Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ is expected to be introduced some time in 2021, whereby the Toyobaru duo, as some call them, will be overhauled. First up is the new design – some well-known Japanese outlets have begun rendering the all-new Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, giving us a speculative look at the new rear-wheel drive coupe. The rendered 86/BRZ gets a sharper-looking front-end with a pair of headlights that extend upwards. On the current Toyobaru duo, the headlights are horizontal. The r
