Here’s another Fast and Furious 9 trailer to exercise your brains with

As little as we want to mention the logic-defying Fast & Furious 9 movie, we’re getting ever closer to its premiere date of 28 May 2021.

Daniel Riccardo debunks driving sequences of our favourite car movies

When driving turns into an art form, it can captivate even people with the faintest interest in cars. This is why Hollywood churns out movies like Need for Speed, Baby Driver and even Fast and Furious, which, after 8 renditions, is really just an action movie unrelated to cars. The latest being Ford versus Ferrari. Watched that yet? Don’t worry this is not a spoiler post, though we would love to hear what Formula 1 driver Daniel Riccardo has to say about the racing sequences! Before we can get a

Here are some cars that go fast in style and comfort like the 620 PS McLaren GT

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

Always wanted to drift? Let WapCar Plus teach you - with a Toyota GR Supra no less!

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

Many BMW 8 Series are collecting dust in showrooms all over US

The BMW 8 Series replaced the 6 Series nameplate in 2018. This was a move made by the previous chairman, Harald Kruger, to position the 8 Series as a true luxury car. However, this strategy isn’t bearing fruit in the US as sales performance for the 8 Series is underwhelming. Automotive News reported that most BMW dealerships are facing an accumulation of 8 Series, which blocks inventories. While dealers pointed out that it was the lack of marketing campaign, the report says that the 8 Series doe

FD Mazda RX-7 tries to show who the real Keisuke is, spins instead

Another day, another driving incident. In a video that recently made its rounds on the interweb, a FD Mazda RX-7 is seen gunning it, being chased by what looks like a Proton Satria GTI. Both cars can be seen using the entire width of the road to take the left-hander. Halfway through the corner, you can see the RX-7's tail start to step out and go into oversteer. Again, it seems like the driver has accelerated out of the bend too early, applying too much throttle (since I can't possibly comment o

If you had taken your driver’s license prior to 2014, you had to do it with a manual transmission car. It most likely didn’t have power steering too. You didn’t have a choice.
