ABT Open-house 2010 at Autovox

IN ABT, Autovox, Audi, Volkswagen, Open-house, Singapore

Autovox welcomed friends and media to the first ABT Sportsline open-house. Set in a casual backdrop of their showroom, guests were treated to ABT tuned demo cars to drive and a yummy buffet to boot

Without the weight burden of a four-wheel drive train, a lower centre of gravity and a track wider than the Golf R’s, the Scirocco R handles corners with aplomb and speed, with only the slightest hint of torque steer on uneven road surfaces, this in my opinion is a trait displayed by well balanced high performance rides. Like the Golf R, the Scirocco R is also equipped with the standard chassis control system that allows a driver to adjust the damper, steering weight and throttle response in three different mode settings, as usual I had it in Sports on the test route we often patronise. In Sports mode, the Scirocco R handles ably with the suspension well modulated to tight corners and bumpy surfaces. Like the Golf R, speed retardation is also excellent, with the very same 345mm front and 310mm rear brakes working up a treat with great immediacy.

The main focus for the development of the 2011 Corolla Altis was to improve driving performance and fuel efficiency with the car featuring a new generation engine (1ZR-FE) with improved combustion due to the enhancement of the engine's intake efficiency and reduction of friction in its components. Coupled with the adoption of Toyota's advanced Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-Intelligent) technology, the new Corolla Altis now provides more power and torque from the low to mid speed range as well as better fuel efficiency with lower CO2 emissions.

Hope Springs Eternal | Toyota Camry 2.4 Hybrid

IN Toyota, Camry, Hybrid

Will global warming change the seasons? Cliche as it may sound, its time to play our part and help heal the world.

Like Ferrari’s Felipe Massa at the end of the first lap - who started from the last position on the grid - Red Bull’s Mark Webber took advantage of the hiatus to switch from the soft-compound Bridgestone tyres to the more durable hard rubber, hoping to avoid stopping again. The Australian was followed by a host of midfield runners all hoping for similar strategic fortune. By the time racing resumed on the sixth lap, Webber was already back up to 10th as he swept past Timo Glock’s Virgin. At the front Alonso quickly regained his rhythm, holding Vettel at bay by 1.3 seconds as Hamilton maintained third and Button began to drift back in fourth place.
