Adventure Knows No Limits

Swiss professional explorer and adventurer Mike Horn was in town recently and we had a chance to meet the motivational figure as we set sail on his ship, the Pangaea.


Team Singapore’s driver, Seng Ann Neo from CWT Limited had this to say in reflection of the challenge, “It feels like the fruit of 30 years of truck-driving experience. There is so much on the Extra Mile Challenge agenda that we learn; it’s not just about the friendly competition. I’ve been driving UD Trucks for one and half years, but there are so many things I learnt for the first time in this training.”

That would be ideal for Mercedes-Benz. But unfortunately, consumers in that particular market are a unique lot; a one-size-fits-all theory doesn’t work here. Which is why there is the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Jaguar XJ, Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide and, depending on how far you’d like to enjoy the finer things in life, Rolls-Royce’s Ghost. There are different models for different preferences.

Powered mainly by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, that on its own, pushes out a decent 181 bhp and 290 Nm of torque. But coupled with the huge battery that sits under the rear boot, the combined power output is a rather heady 252 bhp and a cumulative torque figure of 420 Nm. This enables the hybrid 3-Series to hit 100 km/h from standstill in 6.1 seconds and propels it to a 225 km/h top speed.

With this 252 bhp variant (the base model gets 190 bhp), Quattro is standard. The lovely new chassis platform known as 'MLB-Evo chassis' yields a car that is lighter, more playful and nimble on the road. Steering inputs are precisely executed and while a little on the light side, never feels vague. I’d dare say the combination of a strong power output and sublime handling almost makes this A5 quite S5-like! I enjoyed driving it more than I did the 3.0-litre S4.

Indeed, as the R8 V10 RWS Coupé weighs 50 kg less than the regular all-wheel drive R8 V10 Coupé coupled together with chassis and handling tuning adapted for rear-wheel drive, provides for incredibly fun driving.

Classic roadster design cues are featured on the Concept Z4, such as a long wheelbase, low-slung and stretched silhouette and a compact rear end.

The Mazda MX-5 has that effect. In a market where everyone's busy trying to squeeze so much technology along with mind-numbing engineering effort into a shell, Mazda decided to give us a sporty little cabriolet that is so much fun to drive, you're probably willing to sell off a cornea/kidney/liver to buy one. While we also cannot ignore Toyota's 86 and Subaru's BRZ which has similar 'back-to-basic' concept, the MX-5 still stands out further simply due to the fact that you have the option to drive it with or without the roof.
