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 allowed us to test its newest pair of sports cars, the 2024 Nissan GTR and the recently launched Nissan Z, around the Clark International Speedway. This allowed us to see how the vehicles would handle around a track and to see how much they have progressed over the years as the Japanese automaker also provided older versions of these vehicles, such as the 2021 GTR and the Nissan 370Z, to see just how much they have improved. Aside from the track testing, Nissan also h

I had to check my calendar while writing this Spec Showdown. That’s because it’s a battle between the all-new Nissan Z and the Toyota GR Supra.

And with rear-wheel-drive Japanese sports coupes becoming in vogue again, it’s no surprise that the latest iterations of these iconic nameplates get stout powertrains and eye-catchi

When you’re the number-one automaker in the Philippines and you’re celebrating your 35th anniversary, nothing less than the best will do. In the case of Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), it’s kicking off over three decades of local operations with the Toyota GAZOO Racing Festival, which will be held on Aug. 23 to 24, 2023 at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila. GAZOO Racing (GR) is the Japanese automaker’s motorsports division, producing not only championship-winning racing cars, but also high-perfor

Most hybrid electric vehicles (EV) are family cars that get you around while sipping as little fuel as possible. The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, on the other hand, is a hybrid that takes you around corners and along straights as fast as physics and your bravery would allow. General Motors (GM) unveiled its first electrified Corvette on January 2023. Under its sculpted engine cover lies the 6.2-liter, single-cam, overhead-valve, 16-valve V8 gasoline engine found in the standard Corvette Stingray. T

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
