What does it feel like to drive a rocket? Nathan Freke probably knows best, as his 1,060 PS Toyota MR2 recently clinched the title of World’s Fastest MR2. It ripped through the quarter mile (402 m) pass in 8.718 seconds and achieved a top speed of 262 km/h. Don’t believe us? Watch the run below: And no, this was not a one-off skunkworks project backed by multi-million dollar R&D on a bespoke chassis. Everything was achieved in a production MR2, with its original steel body, 3S-GTE engine block a

Ever wondered what would a Toyota Innova look like if its regular 2.0-litre engine was swapped out for a 3.0-litre inline-6 from the GR Supra? Well, that sounds mad but Toyota Great Britain (GB) once did something similar to one of their MPVs nearly 25 years ago. Back in 1997, Toyota GB’s PR and Social department transformed a sensible Toyota Picnic MPV into the crazy-sounding Picnic Sport Turbo. The Picnic was more recognised in Malaysia as the Ipsum where it was one of the more popular grey im

Last week, my colleague Jason talked about rally nobility. This week, let me one-up him and show you a 1994 Toyota Corolla that’s rarer than most supercars, including the $38 million Ferrari 250 GTO. Yes, it's as pictured. No, I'm not making it up. Most of you know that the Corolla has been a household name for decades with a legacy that started way back in 1966. With the 2020 Toyota Corolla Cross, they’re trying new things but along its 54 year history, it's only right the Japanese engineers bl

There’s a mysterious Hyundai MR23T spotted being ferried around in South Korea and reports claim that this is the test mule for Hyundai’s next mid-engine rear-wheel drive mega hatchback! These pictures were uploaded to Korean car website, Bobaedream. From the pictures, we can see a Hyundai Veloster that’s been heavily souped-up with flared wheel arches and aggressive bumpers. What’s interesting is the ‘MR23T’ text plastered on the side and rear of the car. ‘MR’ is often understood as the short f

Tidak salah jika menyatakan antara tujuan utama motosikal jenis kapcai atau ‘moped’ dibeli pengguna adalah bagi memudahkan urusan seharian terutama untuk mencari rezeki. Rata-rata pembeli motosikal jenis ini menjadikannya sebagai kenderaan ke tempat kerja kerana ia efisen, mampu mengelak kesesakan lalu lintas, menjimatkan duit dari sudut minyak, tol dan parkir. Di sini, kami tidak mahu bercerita mengenai model super moped yang 'hangat' di pasaran seperti Yamaha Y15, Honda RS150 atau sebangsa den

Toyota in the 1990s was on a roll when it came to producing some of the greatest cars of the modern era. Models like the A80 Supra, SW20 MR2, the Z30 Soarer and even the X90 Chaser/Mark II/Cresta became modern cult classics among car fans. However, there is another Toyota model from that period that should also deserve to be a modern classic. It was revolutionary in design, had some clever engineering, and more importantly for a Toyota, pretty reliable. I'm of course talking about the first gene

Toyota has quietly registered the GR Hilux name in Australia, hinting that the company could be injecting its Gazoo Racing goodness into the Hilux. While Australia is no stranger to high-performance pick-up trucks (much of the Ford Ranger Raptor’s development work was done in Australia), could the GR Hilux find its way to Malaysia? After all, Toyota Malaysia is promoting the Gazoo Racing brand aggressively, which started with the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Racing Festival back in 2017. Then there

The Toyota Corolla nameplate is one of the most famous, longest-running, and best-selling nameplate in Toyota’s history, spanning a history of over 50 years. Currently on the 12th generation model, the Corolla name has its humble beginning in 1966 as a small, low-cost, and reliable family sedan, bearing the chassis code KE10. Two years later, the KE10 Toyota Corolla made its way to Malaysia, where it was assembled by Champion Motor Berhad located in Shah Alam, which subsequently renamed as Assem

UMW Toyota akan melancarkan satu model baru pada 17 Disember. Sudah menjadi kebiasaan promo acah pada fasa awalnya, maklumat terperinci belum didedahkan. Tapi, cara dan intonasi iklannya berbunyi agak ‘hip’, ditujukan kepada orang muda dengan gaya. Oleh itu, kita dah boleh jangkakan yang ia barangkali bukannya Toyota Fortuner mahupun Toyota Innova, walaupun kedua-dua model ini sudah patut menerima kemaskini, meniru penambahbaikan yang baru seperti Toyota Hilux yang berkongsi platform IMV.

Earlier in the year, Perodua hinted that their brand-new Perodua D55L SUV is slated for a 2020 market launch. It’ll be based on the Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky that are currently on sale in Japan. What about UMW Toyota Motor then? Will they offer the Raize similar to how they offer the Toyota Rush and Perodua Aruz side by side? Sources in UMW Toyota familiar to the matter gave a resounding no, the Raize will not be sold as a Toyota in Malaysia. This is largely due to the fact that UMW Toyota is

Typical of such pre-launch teasers, details are intentionally held back but the tone and manner of the communication suggests something youthful, emotional and sporty. So we can safely rule out cars like the Toyota Fortuner and Toyota Innova, both of which are also due for an update, following a similar refresh for the shared IMV-platform Toyota Hilux. Could it be the new updated Toyota Vios and Toyota Yaris then? Bookings are opened for both models, both are yet to be launched. The Vios-Yaris t
