Sime Darby Auto Performance, the official importer and distributor of Porsche cars Malaysia, has launched the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 and the 718 Spyder. The GT4 sits at the top of the 718 range, above the GTS. Both the 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder are powered by a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine that makes 420 PS and 420 Nm of torque, sending power to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. Depending on how fast the driver shifts, the duo is able to complete the century

The first-generation Porsche Cayman GT4 was one of my favourite cars of all time. In my eyes, it had all the makings of a great driver’s car. Mid-engined balance, Porsche Motorsport genes, and more than enough performance to trouble supercars a league above. More pertinently, 6-SPEED MANUAL. I’ve always wanted to drive one, but never got the chance to. So imagine my elation when I was given the opportunity to have a go in the 2nd-generation, now called the 718 Cayman GT4. Same recipe as the orig

We know the Toyota Corolla Altis is a car Adrian can fall asleep in. It's feels like a giant mattress, and nobody is mistaking it for a racecar anytime soon. Especially one that's tackling the Nürburgring. But Toyota Gazoo Racing Motorsport Thailand (TGRMT) aren't any 'nobody', so they thought that the Altis would make for a good race car. And would you believe it, it actually is! For one, it looks fantastic. All manner of strakes, canards and little aero bits shape air around the car, and it's

There has been a very prominent narrative in the past decade in the automotive industry.

Every so often, there are cars that cross our paths and leave an indelible mark in our motoring journey. We have been rather fortunate in the past few weeks, having sampled the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 and now, the BMW M340i xDrive. Not one, but two cars powered by 6-cylinders? Happy days. I used to tell people, don’t bother buying a BMW unless it’s a 6-cylinder (which obviously sounds rather daft now). You see, Munich’s finest cars have, more often than not, possessed of a 6-cylinder heart. Alas,

As much as enthusiasts such as myself lament the inevitable demise of manual transmissions (MT), there is simply no business case for manufacturers to continue offering a manual option. Instead, dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) or traditional automatic transmissions (AT) are taking over their place.

"Why do petrolheads hate electric cars?" Asked my colleague Shaun as we barrelled along in the Porsche Taycan 4S. I didn't have an answer actually, because up until now, electric cars didn't really do it for me. I have driven a Nissan Leaf before this, and I quite liked it. But did it stir my loins and make me wanna buy one? Not really. But a Porsche Taycan? Who would say no to that?

Car manufacturers have been downsizing their engines for a while now. BMW started using 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engines as opposed to their well-known naturally aspirated (NA) straight-six engines, Volkswagen began using 1.4-litre turbocharged engine to replace their NA 1.6 and 2.0-litre engines, you get the idea. The reasoning behind this is simply to reduce emissions by producing more efficient cars and at the same time, provide the performance of a larger engine. All sounds fine and

While opinions are split between the car’s look, there was no denying that it was a helpful workhorse whether you’re ferrying workers or family around. Those on the elderly side also love the height clearance as it means easier ingress and egress!
