  Additionally, there are specifically designed engine bonnet and front fenders, an exclusive shiny black chromed front grille bar, headlight sub-reflector and Civic emblem design and of course, a distinctive ‘Type R’ red Honda emblem front and rear.     The Drive-By-Wire (DBW) technology provides for finer tuning of throttle response and power output. Optimum tuning of intake and exhaust manifolds provides for high output at high engine speed while also improving torque characteristics over a broad engine speed range.  The highly rigid Civic body and its advanced layout serves as the basis for an even more highly rigid, yet lightweight Type R body. Measures to enhance body rigidity while reducing weight have translated into a body that is 50% more rigid than in the Integra Type R production model sold between 2001 and 2006.  Honda’s GCON (G-force Control) technology is incorporated to create a body with a crash safety performance that is claimed to be among the best in the world, withstanding a 55 km/h full-frontal collision, a 64 km/h front offset collision, a 55 km/h side collision, and a 50 km/h rear collision. The vehicle’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering body provides a high level of self-protection and also improves compatibility toward other vehicles. It is also designed to help mitigate pedestrian injury in the event of a collision thanks to the use of impact-absorbing structures. Type R models, which have been available since the early 1990s, are specially tuned versions that extend the performance of the standard model and typically provide a racing car-like driving feel. First offered on the NSX in 1992, the Type R range was extended to the Integra in 1995, and the Civic in 1997. This latest all-new Civic Type R is said to be the distillation of 15 years of technological progress and the latest expression of Honda’s “Challenging Spirit.”
The New Mini Cooper SMarch 27th 2007 10:17
  The Cooper version continues with the non-turbo EFI 4-cylinder 1.6-litre unit that puts out 120 bhp and generates 160 Nm of torque. Though its description is no different from what you would read in catalogues of most other cars, it does have something extra in the form of BMW’s Valvetronic technology which provides a broader powerband by continuously varying the valve timing to suit driving demands. The chassis is the same as before so you can also expect that gokart-like handling and agility which was so appreciated in the original Mini as well as the modern Mini. It’s even better now, thanks to the use of lightweight materials and optimisation of the multi-link rear suspension system, a layout which is unique in this segment where the torsion beam is more common. An electric motor provides power assistance for the rack and pinion steering system and because the amount of assistance can be more precisely programmed, it is possible to provide the driver with much better feel at higher speeds. Depression of a SPORTS button reduces assistance so that there is a firmer character for high-speed driving. Needless to say, this is not your typical small hatchback as it comes from a manufacturer of premium and luxury products. Thus, features-wise, the Mini is very well equipped, especially with safety equipment. Besides the two front airbags, there are another two more on each side for a total of six; ABS is standard and there’s also Cornering Brake Control and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). Additionally, Automatic Stability and Traction Control (ASC T) and Run-flat tyres on the Cooper S help to provide superior driving and tracking stability in extreme situations.   True to the Mini’s promise of being ‘the most exciting car around’, the model boasts a wide-range of special equipment to fulfil individual wishes and desires. Standard equipment includes xenon headlights (Cooper S), a high-quality audio system (Cooper S), sports suspension (Cooper S), radio boost CD changer and new mood ambient illumination that allows for the interior lighting of the MINI to create five colour settings in the car.

Proton Savvy & Waja 2007January 23rd 2007 05:00
 If, when following behind a Proton Savvy, you always had the feeling it was driving towards you, that sort of sensation should no longer occur in coming months. This is because Proton has removed the ‘beak’ which mimicked the front end causing the backside of the car to look like the front. The change is one of a number to be found on the 2007 version of the Savvy which was launched this morning at the Proton head office complex.

 When BMW Malaysia’s MD, Wolfgang Schlimme, fired up the local subsidiary of BMW AG, one of his promises was to broaden the range offered to Malaysian customers. He could see that BMW had not been selling in the sort of numbers it should have been doing (in terms of official sales, that is) because there were limited choices in the showrooms. Within a short time, he tripled the model offerings and even better, launched brand new models in Malaysia within a very short time after they went on sale in Germany
