Grand tourer or GT is a phrase to describe cars made for high speed cruising, combining performance and luxury. Traditionally, most GT cars are front-engined and are heavier, which blunts agility and nimbleness. This is where the 2019 McLaren GT pulls an advantage over traditional GT cars. McLaren’s take on a GT car is to combine luxury, practicality and agility. Priced at RM 908,000 (without tax and options), the McLaren GT is motivated by a 4.0-litre twin turbocharged V8 that makes 620 PS and

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe facelift has made its global debut, with a reworked front fascia and a host of new technologies. The front end gets a similar look to the recently revealed sedan counterpart. Gone are the dual-eyebrow LED DRLs, replaced by single L-shaped DRLs. The grille and bumper are also redesigned. The AMG E53 gets more aggresive bumper and 'Panamericana' vertical slats on the grille. Over to the rear, it is largely unchanged from before apart from new LED tail lights. L

It’s been often said that tyres are your vehicle’s only contact patches with the road surface. Therefore, carmakers spend a considerable amount of time and effort to match the right tyres to their cars. It isn’t just about slapping on any random tyre on the cars that roll of the production line. Carmakers work very closely with tyre brands from

As young car enthusiasts, we have all been excited by concept cars and their extreme aesthetics. The excitement usually comes to an abrupt end when you see the production version of the car – sporting smaller wheels, and looking like it gained a couple of pounds. As you mature, you make sense of the decisions to make production cars the way they are. Thicker tyres offer better ride comfort and a less sexy roofline actually makes for better ergonomics. A recurring theme you might notice in concep

Sesetengah pihak berpendapat bahawa struktur cukai jalan (road tax) di negara kita agak melampau. Malah mereka menggesa industri untuk guna sistem yang berasaskan kadar pelepasan (emission-based). Salah satu cara untuk membayar road tax dengan murah ialah dengan enjin yang berkapasiti lebih kecil. Dalam erti kata lain, pembeli harus memiliki kereta yang menggunakan enjin turbo ataupun hibrid. Harga road tax yang mahal mungkin menjadi penghalang buat pembeli. Sebab inilah kereta dengan enjin V8 j

Some say that our road tax structure is archaic and demand an emissions-based system. One way to pay less road tax in Malaysia is to opt for a smaller engine, which usually means opting for turbocharged cars or hybrid cars. The road tax of a car can be a deal-breaker to some, and it is one of the reasons we don’t see that many V8 engines around. Used cars with big engines are a big turn off, since the annual road tax is almost half their value. So, just how expensive can the road tax be? Well, h

However, activities on the showroom floor paint a different reality.

So many factors could've caused this spin, like road surface or worn/cold tyres. Having said that, one can't help but feel that it's a bad idea to fully deploy close to 600 PS
