Honda EX5 memang model yang tidak asing bagi pengguna motosikal tempatan. Malah tidak keterlaluan untuk menyatakan model legenda ini sebagai 'Raja kapcai' di negara ini. Berdasarkan statistik, sudah lebih daripada 2 juta Honda EX5 berjaya dijual sejak pengenalannya lebih 30 tahun yang lalu dan varian terbarunya masih berada di pasaran. Jadi, mudah untuk menyatakan ia masih dapat menambat hati pengguna sekali pun usianya sudah 'tua'. Bagi Boon Siew Honda (BSH), resipi mereka untuk jentera ini mud

The inevitable has happened, all Volvo cars produced from 2020 onwards are now limited to a top speed of 180 km/h.

Motosikal jenis 'kapcai' atau 'moped' memang cukup popular di Malaysia. Tetapi apa yang tidak dapat dinafikan juga adalah ia antara penyumbang utama kepada statistik kemalangan di negara ini terutama membabitkan remaja. Berikutan itu, timbul cadangan untuk memperkenalkan peraturan baharu iaitu penunggang motosikal di usia 16 ke 20 tahun hanya boleh menunggang motosikal dengan enjin bersesaran 70cc ke bawah. Memetik laporan FMT, Polis sudah mengutarakan cadangan kepada Majlis Keselamatan Jalan Ra

Hot on the heels of the introduction of the 2021 Volvo XC40 T5 Recharge PHEV on our shores, one can't help but notice that the top speed is now capped at 180 km/h. We did a little more digging and found that this also applied to the regular XC40 T5 R-Design, all variants of the XC60 and S60 sedan. Curiously, the S90 variants still have top speeds exceeding 180 km/h, for now. Also read: Volvo’s 180 km/h limit is so stupid, it’s actually brilliant, but remember Turbo Rolf? This, of course, has bee

In 2017, Bugatti set the land speed record for production cars with the Bugatti Chiron, achieving 0-400-0 km/h in a mind-boggling 42 seconds.

The record-breaking run was done in a pre-production version of a Chiron derivative – Chiron SuperSport perhaps? It was on Ehra-Lessien high-speed track where Le Mans winner and Bugatti test dr

Engine specific output is typically measured by power-per-litre. It shows how efficient an engine is at producing power relative to its size. In the past, 100 PS-per-litre was considered the holy grail, only found in supercars or high-performance sports cars.

So, here are 5 cars that pretty much says, “size doesn’t matter.” Ford GT – 191 PS-per-litre Recently updated with slightly more power at 66

How does one differentiate between a spoiler and a wing? Well, sage spaniel-haired motoring host James “Captain Slow” May has a novel way to differentiate between a wing and a spoiler. He said in a review for the Honda Civic Type R FK8 that if his head can go through the space, then it’s a wing. Well, that's a definition we can live by and the wing is one of those tools that many car fanboys love to show off thinking it makes their car faster. But those who have a much more mature taste in cars

One of the warning lights in your car is the ABS warning light. ABS stands for anti-lock braking system, and it ensures you have complete control of your car in emergency braking situations.

In fact, some car brands have this as a recurring problem. There are other reasons for failed ABS systems too, albeit less prevalent. Some refer to
