We mark the departure of the V8 E90 Bavarian marque. This is a heavy and luxurious M3 by previous generation’s standard with more than 400 horses to spare. And who ever said the sports coupé was small obviously hasn’t own one before. Take for instance, we managed to transform the entire rear passenger seating into a photography studio, housing this 5.5ft model (Miki Ace) comfortably. ’nuff said.

Here is the shoot summary.

We were secretly thrilled to shoot this Volkswagen Passat because it has just been launched in Singapore this year, and the fact that this generation is looking way better than its predecessors. The day started ominously with the sky threatening a severe thunderstorm but we were lucky the prevailing wind did us a great favour. As Mammatus clouds started forming over the fresh lawn, combined with a beautiful sun rise in the distant horizon, the white Passat (and owner) appeared to gleam so much with pride. Boxes checked for a perfect fashion magazine shoot!

This is one of the most luxurious rides we have ever shot till date, and the only one in Singapore with a decadent interior option by Mercedes Benz’s designo programme. It showcases a peerless, high-quality and exquisite paint finish, an exclusive selection of leather and interior trims that round up to more than 30 grand Singapore dollars. We call this super luxury or rather, an excessive self-indulgence of unimaginable extravagance. Our inertia to step out from shooting the cabin was strong, very strong.

These two cars are legendary in their own rights. Featuring A’s black 4-stroke turbocharged Mitsubishi Evolution X and B’s white phenomenal NA Honda Integra DC5 Type R (aka white snake), both of them pedigrees of racing bloodlines, built from ground up in the land of the rising sun. Today, we have a quick shootout in the MCE, capturing both of them from different moving angles in the wee hours of a weekday night.

This is Sean’s 4-ring A3 sedan and probably one of the most handsome looking around. Deliciously kitted with a custom bodykit, generously lowered on coils and rims perfectly upsized, his ride gives everyone the impression of a longer wheelbase, and created a wider and sportier stance for itself. Capturing cars with a low hung morning sun is every automotive photographer’s web dream and the A3 looks just so good against it.

We check out Alex’s BMW 435i coupe that has been fitted with a full suite of goodies from the M Performance parts and Monster Tuned to 330 horses. From carbon fibre splitter and duck tail spoiler, blacked-out grille to 20″ ADV.1 rims and Eisenmann race quad exhaust, the list is quite exhaustive. The heavy rain before the shoot didn’t dampen our moods because it created a very interesting canvas for us to play on. Water reflection ratchets up the drama of the shots and we were pretty pleased with the end result.

This is Keith and Sheena, and they are a young family of two cars. Just kidding. They have a two year old tot (name withheld to protect the innocent) and he is in his cutest stage of life. The gleaming yellow Porsche Boxster is the fun ride for the family of three while the black suave Mercedes C200 is the family car.

It is never easy to warm up a toddler for an early morning shoot – which explains his glum look in the photo above – and this is when the Porsche comes in handy. A few quick spins and the smiles were back on his face. With that settled, we are blessed for another beautiful morning with an equally awesome sunrise for our family car shoot. Enjoy.

Best of both worlds in a frame.

That is what many of us car guys would wish to, transforming expectations into reality. Edwin is that enviable guy with her model girlfriend who is readily available to pose for him and his prized ride, a white sporty Audi A5. He is also an avid watch collector and one of his esteemed collection is showcased somewhere in the gallery below.

A long time ago between the 70s and 90s, the Volkswagen Scirocco was one of those cars that small boys aspired to own and grown up men bought to satisfy this inner boy racer. Almost two decades later, the car manufacturer decided to bring it back to life in a peerless sporty coupe and a much improved driving dynamics and engine of the modern Volkswagen.

At present time, the Scirocco is now in her facelifted 3rd generation and we are absolutely thrilled to be in one of this charismatic sports car for a shoot about. This model is a 1.4 TSI with horsepower rated at 122, with maximum torque of 200 Nm from 1500 to 4000 rpm.

The most pronounced change to the 2015 Scirocco is the new striking headlight cluster design that has an integrated narrow, convex daytime running light contour lining the bottom of the xenon lights module. It is followed by a subtle redesign of the bumper unit that includes what Volkswagen called “aerodynamic blades” to create a more aggressive front fascia. A resulting lowered air intake and 18-inch alloy wheels further accentuates a lower road stance for the Scirocco.

As we stepped inside the coupe, the first thing that caught our eyes was the three-auxiliary instrument gauge that was sitting snugly above the centre console displaying charge pressure, time and engine oil temperature. Everything else is of excellent workmanship, and leather awash the upholstery and steering wheel. With the sunroof opened, the coupe instantly felt like it has become more roomy.


Bulging at all the right places, our flash red Scirocco is, at every moment and every angle, a sexy little beast that is calling out for attention to everyone else on the roads. We were at times uncomfortable with this attention it was drawing but understood why she totally deserved it.



With a pretty big road presence despite her small frame, and a competent handling that equally matches her fast, eager-to-rev drivetrain, we hope the Scirocco maintains a firm place in the Volkswagen line-up for many, many years to come. A success that is definitely difficult to replicate.
