Nothing quite proves the performance potential of a sports car more than the demanding Guia Circuit in Macau. With a solid 1-2 finish for the Lotus Emira GT4 in the Greater Bay Area GT4 race in the ongoing 70th Macau Grand Prix, it is safe to say that Lotus’ 75 years of motorsports heritage lives on. Decked in the ionic Lotus black and gold livery, the two Lotus Emira GT4 cars started from P1 and P2 after dominating the qualifying session. The TORO Racing pair led the race from the start with Ad

Nissan Philippines recently invited us to test the 2024 Nissan GT-R and the all-new 2024 Nissan Z at the Clark International Speedway (CIS). It's their two newest sports cars to enter the Philippine market. But aside from the usual rack test, the Japanese automaker also had a racing simulator available for us to get familiar with virtual versions of their vehicles before we took them out on the track.

In an industry where new cars tend to pop up every five years, the R35’s incredible longevity is perhaps a testament to its enduring design and performance. In fact, the 2024 Nissan GT-R now cranks out 565 PS and can do 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds – to

When we reported on Toyota’s supposed plan to revive the MR-S sports car, you folks couldn’t get enough of it. Whether it was the baby-Lamborghini Huracan looks rendered by Japanese publication BestCarWeb or the promise of yet another 21st-century Toyota sports car, the idea of a nippy, mid-engine two-door clearly captured your imagination. Throughout our racing careers, both AutoFun Philippines content head Mikko David and I have been able to take the Toyota MR-S convertible to its limits on th

Imagine being a car club that is so well-known that a carmaker produces special-edition models to commemorate your silver anniversary. Miata Club Philippines (MCP), which is the oldest single-make car club in the country, got just that during the official turnover of the first batch of the Mazda MX-5 MCP 25th Anniversary Edition on October 2022. Mazda Philippines president Steven Tan led the ceremony of eight units at the brand's Center of Excellence facility in Cabuyao, Laguna. "It is truly hea
