The joint venture between DRB-Hicom and Geely to develop the 1,000-acre Automotive Hi-Tech Valley (AHTV) project in Tanjung Malim will be a highlight of this year’s 50th anniversary celebration of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China, said China’s state-owned media China Daily. Geely is investing USD10 billion (~RM46.8 billion) to develop the area into one of the biggest automotive manufacturing hubs in Southeast Asia. The development of AHTV will span 10 years, but Proton will reloca

Whisper the words SUV carefully around it – the boys and girls at Maranello insist it's anything but, despite our inclinations to call a spade when we see one. The Ferrari Purosangue is branded as the company's 'first-ever four-door, four-seater car', and it's now open to Malaysian customers who have upwards of RM 5 million; inclusive duties, taxes and minimal options. Rather confidently they've called it the Purosangue, Italian for pureblood; thoroughbred, alluding to how development of the mod

Last week, we showed you ten expensive-looking cars under RM 100k and some of you think those selections don’t quite shout ‘appearing rich’. Indeed, the Proton X50 and X70 may feel expensive but they’re still a Proton (or Geely) underneath.

McLaren’s take on a GT car is to combine luxury, practicality and agility. Priced at RM 908,000 (without tax and options), the McLaren GT is motivated by a 4.0-litre twin turbocharged V8 that makes 620 PS and

Let’s get right down to it, the top 5 most expensive road tax in Peninsular Malaysia (privately owned): 1. Bugatti Chiron 8.0L – RM 24,630 2. Rolls-Royce Phantom/Bentley Mulsanne 6.75L – RM 19,005 3. Rolls-Royce Ghost 6.6L – RM 18,330 4. Lamborghini Aventador/Ferrari 812 6.5L – RM 17,880 5. Bentley Continental GT 6.0L – RM 15,630 The figures above are not exact as engine capacities are almost never rounded to say, 6,000 cc for example, so there may be slight discrepancies. But even so, the actua
