NOVITEC, the German tuning and customising company, is well known for its widebody conversions apart from enhancements to many different models. Its latest offering is the N-LARGO, adapted from the McLaren 720S Spider and limited to just 15 units worldwide. This widebody version, which is particularly light, makes generous use of carbonfibre with forged elements that give the open-top two-seater a particularly custom appearance. The company also developed tailor-made high-tech forged rims specifically for the enlarged wheel arches in cooperation with American wheel manufacturer Vossen. The staggered combination of 20-inch and 21-inch wheels on front and rear axles puts even more emphasis on the wedge shape of the sportscar. The emotive design, shaped in the wind tunnel, was conceived in cooperation with German designer Vittorio Strosek. Its width has increased by 6 cm at the front and by 13 cm at the rear. Together with the special rocker panels, the wider N-LARGO fenders at the front and rear give the supercar an hourglass shape. The N-LARGO side components create a perfect transition between the wider fenders and route the airflow to the rear brake discs and calipers through their integrated air intakes. The NOVITEC air intakes behind the doors supply the engine bay with breathing and cooling air. However, the conversion of the bodywork not only focused on an extravagant appearance but also on the optimization of the driving dynamics by means of efficient modifications to the aerodynamics. This includes, among other things, the redesigned bootlid with forged carbon insert at the front, the covers for the side mirrors, the lower strips on the rocker panels, the N-LARGO rear wing attachment for the stock retractable spoiler, and the air intakes in the rear end. The McLaren twin-turbo 4-litre 8-cylinder engine has been tuned by NOVITEC to offer customers a choice of 3 different output levels. The most powerful level includes a NOVITEC RACE high-performance exhaust system and has modifications which add 86 bhp/108 Nm. This boosts maximum output to 806 bhp at a low 6700 rpm, while peak torque is bumped up to 878 Nm. As a result, the N-LARGO rockets from standstill to 100 km/h in a claimed 2.7 seconds and reaches a speed of 200 km/h after just 7.5 seconds; with top speed increased to 346 km/h.

Triumph seems to improve their motorcycles dramatically with every new generation. And that is a big thing because when you ride one of their newer generation models, you may think that there is no room for improvement. You think that there is nothing Triumph can do to improve and then they launch a new model and you are gobsmacked all over again. The 2024 Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is one of those bikes. We rode it recently and were left stunned by how much better it is. We detail what we love about it in this video. #Triumph #TriumphTiger #TriumphTiger900GTPro
Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro: Much Better Than Before But Good Enough To Buy One?
Jaecoo Malaysia has been teasing the PHEV model of the J7 for some time now, but the local launch is just around the corner. We are among the first journalists to drive the car in Malaysia and are completely blown away by the efficiency levels of the car. In this video, we show you what is different about the PHEV model, and why this might be the car for you. #Jaecoo #JaecooMalaysia #JaecooJ7 #JaecooJ7PHEV #Malaysia

We recently travelled to China for a very special reason - to ride a scooter that will soon be available in Malaysia. Zontes has been making waves in Malaysia ever since it was introduced. The brand offers great value for money scooters that are feature packed with riding characteristics that can match more expensive competitors. The upcoming 368G is bound to make life difficult for models from Honda particularly. So what can you expect from it? We detail it all here.

Proton has been teasing the eMas 7 for many months now. But it has been Proton's standard style of launching new models now, multiple teasers, roadshows and media test drives. But the eMas 7 is a big deal because it marks the first electric vehicle to carry the Proton badge. And despite what Proton has been saying, the eMas 7 is actually a Geely product, particularly the E5, with little to no input from Proton itself. Not even the styling. So what has Proton actually done? We detail all of it in this video. As for pricing, the eMas 7 starts from RM105,800 and tops out at RM119,800 for the long range model. #Proton #ProtoneMas7 #eMas7 #Geely #GeelyE5

The MG 5 was introduced to Malaysia with mixed reception. Some love it but some were also quick to point out that it does not meet some safety requirements. But is that the truth? We try to answer all of that and more in this video! #MG5 #MGCars #MorrisGarages #MGCarsMalaysia
