The McLaren Artura Spider churns out 690bhp and 720Nm of torque to the road, and it looks great doing so too.


We car enthusiasts are an interesting breed. What the normal man considers a crap car, we take to it like ducks to water. 40-year-old rusting Toyota Corolla that was prominently featured in a Japanese drifting anime? Yes please. But why is that so? Why deal with the oil leaks and the blown gaskets, when you could just get a car that works every time you turn the key?

Road Tripping - Top-Down Joy In A Toyota MR2

There's an inexplicable charm in what the world often labels as "shit cars".


Forget the original plan to mirror the Imola Coupe; Pagani has gone full throttle to pay homage to the Huayra R. It’s called the Pagani Imola Roadster, hailed as “the best-performing open-top the brand has ever created”. The Huayra, even after being outshone by the Utopia, isn’t ready to bow out just yet. It's been given a new lease of life - think of it as the Zonda's refusal to fade away, but with an extra punch.

“Why is this thing so long?” you may ask. Well, it’s a Land Rover Defender 110 with an extra chunk of bodywork plonked on the back, plus some extra seats. “That’s it? Come on, give me a little more info.” This is the Defender 130, which was first shown in May this year and arrives as the fourth model in the Defender range. The others are the 90, the 110 and the commercial-spec Hard Top (not sold in Singapore). “Why does this exist?” Well, Land Rover introduced the Defender 130 for the 2023 model year to cater to a broader audience, especially those with big families or carpooling habits.

This, my friends, is the latest and greatest 992 Porsche GT3 RS. It's not just inspired by motorsport; it's a full-blown race car that's been tamed just enough for those brave souls who want to experience it on both road and track. Well, relatively speaking, of course. And, as fate would have it, this automotive marvel arrives exactly 50 years after the iconic 2.7 RS kicked off the 911 RS legacy. Talk about serendipity.

It was just another day at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. I’ve flown in to cover the event and was given the esteemed opportunity to take out the Porsche 911 GTS, thanks to the folks at Porsche Singapore. Test drive over, I was buzzing with excitement. I mean, when else are you offered a chance to take a Porsche out on some stunning B-roads? And that was when I laid eyes on the Sport Classic, sitting pretty on the driveway. The Sport Classic is a model that was launched where I’m from (Singapore). However, because it is a limited edition model, there was never going to be a test drive unit offered for us. With each costing a cool SGD$1.5 million too, it’s not hard to see why.

This is the one everyone says is the ‘best real-world 911’, right? But hey, let's not get too hung up on titles because when it comes to 911s, the gaps between them are tiny. They are narrow, but they do matter. So, what's the deal with the 911 GTS? It's like that friend who shows up at the party with just the right amount of pizzazz. Back in the day, it emerged to fill the void between the Carrera S and the Turbo.

Much like cars such as the Volkswagen Golf, Porsche 911 and Mercedes S-Class, the BMW 3 Series has cemented itself as the standard by which all of its peers are measured. And those peers nigh on always come off worse. But for how much longer? The 3 Series faces a not completely certain future as electrification takes an ever-bigger grip on its heritage. Do you want a fully electric 3? It’s currently called a BMW i4. So, best to savour this 7th-generation ‘G20’ BMW 3 Series for as much as you can, just in case. And that’s exactly what I did when BMW invited me for one of their driving challenges.

The 2023 M2 is arguably BMW’s best new car on the market today. It’s quick, balanced, communicative, and still a thoughtful daily driver. All of the sugar, spice, and everything nice things you’d expect from a small car wearing the M badge. But here's the million-dollar question - can it conquer the track? You see, these M cars were born for the track, it’s in their blood (M standing for Motorsport, after all). Does this M2 live up to its ancestry, or is it just another posh toy with a “fancy” badge?

BMW recently invited me to Buriram to attend the Asia Driving Challenge 2023. It was an action-packed day filled with non-stop automotive joy, being able to experience a myriad of BMW cars on and off track. However, one particular station stood out to me, so unorthodox that it was frankly genius. I’m of course referring to the Dirt Gymkhana station featuring the BMW iX.

When you think of Singaporeans going to Johor Bahru (JB), one might imagine indulging in the great food offerings there or unwinding with a massage. All whilst thinking about what strategy one might employ in order to fill up your vehicle with the most amount of fuel possible. Hence, I’m pretty sure trekking through remote forests in the sand and mud isn’t usually on a typical agenda when one thinks of crossing the border. But, that’s exactly what Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) had planned - two days of offroading action in brand-new Land Rover Defenders. And boy was it a riot.

Category A COE cars are all the rage these days in Singapore. With soaring petrol prices and astronomical COE premiums, these wallet-friendly city runabouts are just the sort of thing a budget-conscious buyer wants - practical, fuel-efficient, and versatile. For those of you reading outside of Singapore, here’s how we classify Cat A vehicles being registered here: - Non-fully electric cars with engines up to 1,600cc and Maximum Power Output up to 97kW (130bhp). - Fully electric cars with Maximum Power Output of up to 110kW (147bhp). However, as we can see from the figures above, in traditional cases owning a Cat A vehicle means sacrificing performance and oftentimes driving fun in exchange for a cheaper set of wheels. But, with the advent and advancement in new engine technology alongside innovations like electrical assistance, engine capacity is no longer the defacto indicator of performance.

SUVs have seen a huge market shift in recent years. What was once a tool that can traverse harsh terrains without breaking a sweat has now transformed into city-dwelling 'Chelsea Tractors' that disintegrate at the first sign of anything other than tarmac. There is still a rare bunch of SUVs that can scale a rock face at your earliest convenience, but most of the crop have since become jacked-up people carriers festooned with new tech and creature comforts. They might not be good offroad, but consumers are opening their wallets in droves to drive off the lot in the latest and greatest in tall luxury. So what if you wanted both? Well, the obvious choice would be to get something like a Range Rover or G-Wagon, but what if you wanted something patriotic? Well my friends, let me introduce you to Jeep’s all-new Grand Cherokee.
