What you need to take note of however is the uninspiring note coming from the bonnet. If you are the sort who is used to hearing the warble of V8s or whirr of force-fed power plants, you might probably just drop your jaws… in amusement. But hey, it is a hybrid after all – the smoothness and seamless operations (both lump and box) is a given. The fact that it starts and idles quietly is also pretty amazing. By the way, the CT200h can be driven solely on a fully charged electric motor at speeds of up to 45km/h before the petrol engine actually kicks in, vibration-free.

Surprise Of Sorts | Lexus CT200h

A Lexus hatchback? Hybrid? Nope, your eyes are not playing any tricks...


The kit's extent of the performance increase is dependent on the selected shift mode of the automatic transmission. In “Eco” mode the maximum power output of the engine remains unchanged but peak torque jumps from standard 620Nm to 690Nm between 1,600 and 2,400rpm. Upon switching to “Manual” or “Sport” mode the increase in torque is accompanied by an increase in maximum power output from 258hp to 313hp at a low 3,600rpm.

WRX Competition Winners Slug It Out At Hobby East

It was a fun-filled afternoon as the winners of our WRX competition met up to compete on a different playing field altogether - this time, it was on a slot-car race track.


They not only anchored a quirky 1.3L engine in its bay, the car gulps on petrol like how a deprived Asiatic elephant does to a river. You have little time to realize that you are coughing up nearly two dollars for every six kilometres, and you are rivaling in proximity to that black Chrysler cab.

Innocent By Association | BRABUS B20

IN BRABUS, Mercedes-Benz, B20, Singapore, Black, AutoVox, First Automobile Premium

The three-pointed star has always been a typical 'big boss' car. It is almost impossible to shake that image off, unless you're clearly too young to be one, but then you're likely to be "his son".


The main factors assessed in the Safety category are the availability of active and passive safety systems and the degree to which vehicles are fitted with these systems as standard without any surcharge. Mercedes-Benz took first place in this category. The Product Strength/Vehicle Quality category incorporates the results of 500 recent vehicle tests, includes those of external safety organizations such as the TÃœV and DEKRA reports and of the ADAC breakdown statistics. Mercedes-Benz also did outstandingly well in this category.

ADAC AutoMarxX: Mercedes-Benz Is Germany´s Strongest Brand

Taking on the dynamic L-finesse design and retaining the RX identity, the RX 270's sleek profile is accentuated by broad 'shoulders' for a more athletic yet elegant presence. Bright finish side-window mouldings follow a subtly concaved line across the A pillars and C pillars, extending at the front and rear ends. In addition, the Lexus design cue of placing the grille lower than the headlights, along with the sharp headlights graphics, yields a strong frontal expression. The new RX 270 also offers high intensity discharge (HID) headlights as standard, with adaptive front lighting system (AFS) as option.

The results are out! Find out who's got the title of "Singapore's Best WRX". We even have a surprise award! A big, big thank you to all who participated and voted!


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.
