Sat on the start/finish straight, I await a countdown to launch the new 2023 Toyota GR Supra 6-Speed Manual (6MT). Moments before – I ease up on the clutch to figure out the all-important bite point is, the point at which the engine and manual transmission become seamlessly connected and power can be put to the ground. Out the gates, progress is measured, but almost as soon as the rev needle touches the 3,000 rpm mark, the 2023 GR Supra 6MT explodes with power, and the staccato notes of the exha

It’s race weekend again and the Idemitsu 25 Hours Super Endurance race is happening at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand. Today is the qualifying round, with actual race days set to happen over this weekend (17- to 18-December). In addition to the usual race-prepped Toyota Corolla Altis and Toyota Vios, the list of participants include two cars that stand out: a Toyota GR Corolla bearing #232 and a Toyota GR86 with #328. One of the drivers for #232 is Akio Toyoda (Morizo), whi

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.

2006's The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift did a number on us, didn't it? It's one of the last F&F movies to follow the street racing formula (it's pretty much Avengers these days) and cool cars notwithstanding, it pretty much brought drifting to a wider audience. Oh you'll know what that is since you're reading a car website anyway. Chances are too, you've always wanted to know how to do this 'drifting' thing: looking damn cool as you throw the car's back end out in a haze of smoke and a rack

The Nissan Z Proto has won itself many fans and the change in narrative is nice for a company that has been dragged through the mud by the legal tussle involving ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn. As much as we love the Nissan Z Proto, it is important to remember that the car has yet to enter production but keep your fingers crossed because Nissan has repeatedly mentioned that it is committed to producing the Z Proto. However what many forgot is that the new Nissan Z won’t be launched in Europe, or even the U
