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.

The Volvo EX30 Plus is the entry level model for the EX30 range in Malaysia, and is priced at RM188,888. It is quite basic and is devoid of all the luxuries we have come to expect of a Volvo. But yet it is quite loveable. In this video we explain why the EX30 Plus is still a good buy even though it does not have a lot of the extras we love. No, it does not even have electric seats, but do you really need them? We explain here. #Volvo #VolvoEX30 #VolvoMalaysia #VolvoEX30Plus #EX30
Volvo EX30 Plus: Basic But Loveable
The Haval H6 Hybrid turned the Malaysian auto industry on its head when it was introduced. It stole sales from legacy car makers like Honda and even motoring journalists thought it was great as well. We spent a few days with it and then something happened that made us rethink everything. #Haval #HavalH6Hybrid #H6Hybrid #GWM #GWMHaval #GWMMalaysia
Haval H6 Hybrid - We Think It's Great But It Has Some Flaws!
There is no denying that the Chinese have completely dominated the electric vehicle segment. In fact, they are not just dominating it, they have come to define it and lead the way in innovation. The rest? Well, they have been left behind, or have they? The world is catching up, sometimes working together with Chinese suppliers, and sometimes even surpassing them in certain elements, like design. Take the KIA EV9 for example, it is a really capable big EV, and it looks fantastic as well. We spent a few good days with it, and found it hard to return. So in this video, we show you what we love and don't like about it. #KIA #KIAEV9 #KIAMalaysia #Malaysia
The KIA EV9 Is A Refreshing Reminder That EV's Can Look Great Too!
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

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
