Universo Ferrari Brings Passion, Performance As A Dynamic Exhibition

Ferrari brings Universo Ferrari, an immerse exhibition, to Southeast Asia for the first time. Showcasing the world of Ferrari encompassing their race cars, sports cars, and even lifestyle, this ultimate display of passion for the Prancing Horse serves as the regional debut of two new Ferrari sportscars: the Ferrari F80 and the Ferrari 12Cilindri.

Trust The Car Bro: Driving The Audi Q8 e-Tron From Manila To Baguio (And Back) On A Single Charge

I’ve already driven the Audi Q8 e-tron before; only it was more on fun driving than anything else. I didn’t bother putting it to its limit range-wise, because that would mean I can’t enjoy its 408 horses and 664 Nm of pull. I just treated it like I would my phone: charge it when you have time so that you always have a good amount of range buffer. What I consumed for the day, I made up for by charging it at night.

Leaving No One Behind: Inclusion Is Front And Center At The Paris 2024 Games

Here’s a little-known fact: while Paris has hosted three Olympics, 2024 marked the first time the city hosted a Paralympic Games. As experienced in previous host cities, the Games is often seen as an accelerant in improving the accessibility of people with disabilities. And with a promise of hosting a “Games Wide Open,” Paris put that promise front and center.

San Miguel Corporation, Incheon Consortium Officially Takes Over NAIA

The New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) has officially taken over management and operation of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and with it, the task of modernizing the 76-year-old gateway.

Driving the Nürburgring Nordschleife Is An N-thusiast’s Dream Come True

I just crossed one off my bucket list. Just when I thought cruising on Highway 1 in the United States and ploughing through the sand dunes in the Sahara Desert couldn’t be topped, I did this: hot laps on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. And mind you, I wasn’t here on the invitation by some German brand, no; I’m here thanks to, of all car companies, Hyundai. Wait, what?

Going Higher Than Clouds With The Isuzu D-MAX And Overland Kings

I have no penchant for traveling. My family wasn’t well-off enough to have that kind of hobby. The farthest we got was Batangas simply because that’s my mom’s home province. My only sources of traveling were field trips in school, college projects, and now my work.

Team BMW Starts Northern Leg Of Philippine Loop

BMW officially starts the Northern Leg of its Philippine Loop adventure. After successfully conquering two out of eight checkpoints and completing all six RoRo points in the Southern leg, the BMW team is now ready to tackle the remaining challenges of the archipelago.

Inside Porsche's Secret Garage In Kallenberg

Tucked amongst a row of nondescript warehouses lies the greatest facility to Porsche-philes: Porsche’s secret garage. Located somewhere in Kallenberg, this warehouse is where Porsche keeps over 700 iconic vehicles, unique machines, and race cars if they’re not on display at the Porsche Museum just a few kilometers away. Here’s the thing: unlike the Museum which grants entry for around 15 euros, this one isn’t open to the public.

3 Features That Make A Subaru At Home On The Trails

As far as crossovers and SUVs go, Subarus are just built different. Embracing a more rugged, more adventurous customer set, these vehicles are designed and engineered not just to thrive in the city, but surprisingly, on adventure trails as well.

Honda To Open Refreshed Collection Hall On March 1

Honda has completed the renovation of the Honda Collection Hall at the Mobility Resort Motegi in Tochigi, Japan (read our walkthrough). The facility that conveys the history of Honda will re-open to the public on March 1, 2024.

2024 Hyundai Stargazer X: The MPV From The Future Takes Road Trips A Notch Higher

One of the good things that resulted from the pandemic is that it reignited a love for the open road and a passion for adventure. Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen a steady rise in people going on roads trips, the opening of beautiful camping grounds and boutique resorts, and the eagerness of the Filipino to explore more of the country than taking flight.

GAC Motor PH's #MyEmkooDrive Showcases The Versatility, Comfort Of The Compact SUV

GAC Motor Philippines’ next leg of the #MyEmkooDrive brought the compact SUV to a quick jaunt from Metro Manila to Batangas for some coffee appreciation.

Love Cars And Coffee? The Honda Welcome Aoyama Might Be Worth The Visit

Honda fans’ main attraction will always be the Collection Hall in Twin Ring Motegi. However, because getting to Tochigi requires real planning, the Honda Welcome Plaza Aoyama is a great alternative, especially if you find yourself with a couple of hours to spare around Tokyo.

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Is A Tito Car And That's Not Such A Bad Thing

On the surface, being labeled as a “Tito’s car” may seem insulting; after all, carmakers are always targeting the youth or youth-oriented demographic. However, in my experience with the all-new Subaru Crosstrek (the crossover formerly known as the Subaru XV), whether it’s by design or accident, its practical packaging and easy-to-drive demeanor make it the great car for those who’ve just hit their mid-forties. Let me explain.

Pampanga Food Tripping With The BMW X1, X3, And 3 Series

It’s been eight years since BMW Philippines last held a ride and drive. The last one, if you were old enough to remember, was with the 2 Series Active Tourer way back in 2015. That was a different era: X was still Twitter, Facebook had a timeline (rather than a newsfeed), and there wasn’t any mad rush among motoring journos to hit, “publish” first on any story. Today, we’ve got a maniac in charge of X, Facebook’s now known as Meta, and journalists (me included) are more concentrated on churning out stories than anything else. It’s times like these I yearn for simpler times and thank goodness BMW’s managed to give that even for just one afternoon.

An Ode To The Internal Combustion Engine: Mazda Fan Festa 2023 At Fuji Speedway

It was a traffic jam worth being in. As our bus went inside the premises of the Fuji International Speedway, we were surrounded by a gaggle of Mazdas. Most were MX-5s, CX-5s, and CX-60s, but there was an odd Mazda Luce or two. Seeing the sight, our bus driver muttered the words, “Ah, rotary engine.” While I couldn’t make out the rest of his Nihongo, his knowledge of Mazda’s trademark engine spoke volumes of the brand’s indelible mark among the Japanese, and the rest of the world for that matter.

A Look Inside Where The Hyundai Stargazer And Creta Are Made

Ahead of the Stargazer X’s Philippine market launch at the end of this year, Hyundai let us tour their first ASEAN manufacturing hub: Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Indonesia or HMMI. Its first factory in Southeast Asia and home to the Creta and Stargazer for the Philippine market, it is located about 40 kilometers east of Jakarta at an industrial complex in Cikarang.

Hyundai Motorstudio Senayan Park Focuses On Human Connection For Progress

Hyundai’s corporate vision is a simple one: Progress for Humanity. Yet, those three seemingly simple words encapsulate what Hyundai was, is, and will be. With a logo that symbolizes two people shaking hands in an act of mutual respect and trust, the mobility company has expanded that to cover the value of humanity altogether; one that strengthens relationships and connection.

Nissan Kicks Off Drive Pinas With New Almera

Nissan Philippines, in collaboration with the Department of Tourism, kicked off their partnership with the first official leg of Drive Pinas in San Juan, La Union. This collaboration aims to promote inclusive and sustainable travel through exciting drivable journeys across the Philippines. The event also marked the launch of the new Nissan Almera with NissanConnect Services.

Can An EV Road Trip? We Drive The BMW iX1 And i7 In Germany To Find Out

EV adoption is still in its infancy here in the Philippines. With just a handful of public chargers available, most EVs are relegated to urban use, not because of their range per se, but because of range anxiety. Even as carmakers manage to unlock sometimes stupendous ranges on modern EVs, range anxiety has caused owners to be overly cautious about taking one out of town; and they have every right to be. Unlike a conventional petrol or hybrid vehicle, once you run out of juice in an EV, it’s game over.
