Secara peribadinya, saya pernah melihat sebuah muscle car yang asli (bukan Datsun modifikasi) di atas jalan raya Malaysia. Deruman enjin sebuah muscle car ditambah dengan rekaan tajam memang berlainan daripada mana-mana sportscar. Oleh itu, memang tak keruan jadinya apabila melihat sebuah Chevrolet El Camino tahun 1972 untuk dijual. Kenderaan ini adalah sebuah trak pikap dan muscle car. Ya, kedua-duanya sekali. Chevrolet El Camino ini memang sebuah trak pikap dengan gabungan muscle car. Inilah i

It's not every day you will come across an American muscle car, what more one that is not a Ford Mustang. Whilst not my cup of tea, I can see the appeal of American muscle cars. They usually have big bodies strapped to a pushrod V8 engine, happily chugging down petrol like it was going out of fashion. Nothing shouts 'MURICA' like a good-old muscle car. Today's rare find comes in the form of a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino. This is not just a muscle car, but a pick-up truck, a 2-door one at that! This

Remember Proton's electric vehicle (EV) project? Today, we found out that Proton was putting up models such as the Proton Saga EV, Proton Iriz EV, and even the Proton EMAS concept car up for auction. This following last week's auction of historic concepts and prototypes. UPDATE: The Proton EMAS concept car has been withdrawn from the auction. Thumbs up to Proton! It's impossible for a manufacturer to keep every protoype/concept car, but the EMAS deserves a spot in the museum. Today's auction was

We’ve seen plenty of examples where car owners deck out their cars with aftermarket headlamps and housings to give their rides a little more glamour. But we have not heard of a case where the owner duct-taped torch lights onto the car! Imagine the surprise when the police pulled over a man driving a Chevrolet Impala in the USA and discovered the duct-taped torch lights. According to a report, the police initially stopped the Impala due to its unusually dim headlamps at around 2 am, but little di

Many of today’s platform-based vehicles are tailored to meet the demands of a diverse of customers, achieved by producing more models than ever before, but each using more or less the same mechanicals and electrical architecture underneath.

What’s the most reliable car brand? What brand should your next car be? Depending on who you ask, you will get different answers, depending on how they choose to make their assessment. If you were to ask the Americans at Consumer Reports, the best brands to buy are Porsche, Genesis, Subaru, Mazda, and Lexus, in that order. Something is clearly not right when a brand like Porsche tops the list of a consumer-friendly buying guide so take this with a pinch of salt. But Consumer Reports is not wrong

Yes, the BMW X8 is happening. BMW has reportedly filed a trademark for the X8 M name plate in Germany’s DPMA database. And if the rumours are true, the X8 M will be a plug-in hybrid that makes somewhere in region of 700 PS and 750 PS. The BMW X8 will be slotted above the X7, likely to be the “coupe” version of it like the X6 is to the X5, and X4 to the X3, and yeah, you get the picture. Presently, no BMW M models are electrified.

There will be different levels of electrification to boost outputs, such as 48-volt mid-hybrid variants as well as plug-in hybrids.

This tiny Perodua Axia size/ Proton Iriz lookalike car is an electric vehicle (EV) made by a company from China named Bodo. It has a top speed of 69 km/h and it is trying to establish itself in Europe. Jokes aside, Bodo is read in Chinese as “bao dao” that directly translates into “precious island”. The full name of the company is Wuxi Bodo Electric Vehicle Inc. So, no, the company is not trying to name themselves “bodoh” in an effort to humour us. Like the previously viral Mini lookalike, Mine

With the introduction of the new 2020 Mercedes-Benz C200 AMG Line in Malaysia, the biggest change revolves around the powertrain. The update to the 2020 C200 AMG Line sees the return of the M264 2.0-litre engine in place of the outgoing 1.5-litre EQ Boost unit with 48-volt mild hybrid. This does seem rather strange seeing that the EQ Boost powertrain was only introduced in late-2018. Having said that, there's no arguing with the output of the M264 engine.
