I've been driving SJN6173C a lot these days. Despite its height being so very low, it has not posed a problem around town, though higher humps need more careful negotiation...

Too fast. Too furious. | Audi TT RS Roadster

IN Audi, Audi TT, RS, Premium Automobiles, Roadster, Convertible, Video

This violently potent four-wheel-drive roadster will leave the road behind you in flames and chew every corner you throw at it. All this, while making you look good.

Next was the slalom course in the mid-engined Boxster S. Each driver was timed and the winner walked away with a prize at the end of the day.

Porsche World Roadshow (PWRS)

IN Porsche, Driving experience, Defensive driving, Advance driving, Stuttgart

There is no better way to experience the excitement of a Porsche than to drive one. For the Porsche World Roadshow, one gets the chance to drive, not one, but a wide range of Porsches for a day.

And they certainly learnt a lot from the chief instructor Rick Bates of Australia, a former international rally champion who now runs Bates Advanced Driving in Canberra to provide all levels of driver training, including rallying and racing. His expertise was telling, particularly in showing how things were done as he accompanied the participants through all the exercises. Just as well that the venue suited the programme, with The Plaza at the Changi
Exhibition Centre in Changi Coast Road providing the wide open space needed for such a safety event.

Hyundai Advanced Driving Course

IN Hyundai, Komoco Motors, Advanced Driving

A total of 58 cars spun, slalomed and surged through the first Hyundai Advanced Driving Course that left the women participants gasping for more.

Like the manual STI, the A-Line is equipped with Subaru’s SI-Drive system that allows the driver to select his or her preferred mode of driving, a trend that is commonly found in most performance cars these days. With the SI-Drive, three modes are available. Push the knob downwards to select 'Intelligent' for eco-friendly driving, twist the knob left for the normal 'Sport' and right for 'Sport Sharp' if you need sharpened throttle response for spirited driving. Naturally, we had it in 'Sport Sharp' for the most part.

An Automatic Choice | Subaru STI A-Line

IN Subaru, WRX, STI, Boxer engine, AWD

The meanest car in Subaru's lineup having a slush box? Some of you may be having a laugh, but to the masses it seems like a plan.

Simply beautiful. The car's not that bad too.

Lexus LF-A in Super GT?

Are these photos of a work-in-progress Super GT Lexus LF-A? Based on the quality of these renderings, one would think so...

Hence, on 19 September 2010, the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) will be organising the Singapore Green One (Singapore G1), featuring races like the Soap Box Car Race, Eco Car Race, Buggy Race, Trishaw Race and other activities like walking, cycling and skating.

Double Dose | A Pair of EVO GSRs

IN Evo, GSR, Yellow, White

What's interesting about these cars is that they belong to the same owner. Many people have two or more cars, but rarely does a person buy the same model, twice! It simply shows how great the Evo is.

This yellow Silvia S15 was setup so nicely with what looked to me like a Vertex kit. Staggered wheels so neatly tucked under the fenders.

Formula Drift Singapore 2010

IN Drift, Formula Drift, Singapore

Smoke, burnt rubber and wailing tyres. Just a few things you'll experience if you spent a day at a drift event. And this year's Formula Drift Singapore did not disappoint.

Just 599 cars will be built, each powered by an uprated version of the Enzo-derived 6.0-litre V12 engine. Power is up from 612bhp to 661bhp, while weight tumbles from 1,690kg to 1,605kg, allowing the GTO to sprint from 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds – 0.3 seconds faster than before – and hit a top speed in excess of 208mph.
