The 2024 Ford Mustang offers a hearty 487 PS from its naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine. Launched on September 2022, the all-new muscle car gets subtle styling changes from the previous Mustang, but with a revamped cabin and a bevy of advanced powerplants. Ford Philippines has yet to disclose when this latest generation Mustang will be launched locally. But for those who want more oomph, Ford Performance unveiled its new supercharger kit at the SEMA Show 2023 for the famous pony car, bolte

Nissan Philippines recently invited us to test the 2024 Nissan GT-R and the all-new 2024 Nissan Z at the Clark International Speedway (CIS). It's their two newest sports cars to enter the Philippine market. But aside from the usual rack test, the Japanese automaker also had a racing simulator available for us to get familiar with virtual versions of their vehicles before we took them out on the track. Think of it like the Gran Turismo movie, where Jann Mardenborough became a pro racing driver be

For quite a lot of us, Initial D was our first taste not only of Japanese automotive culture, but also of cars in general.

Sunlight, finally! I never thought that I’d actually miss getting hot and sweaty from the searing heat. But I suppose that over a week of stormy weather (and alarming floods) makes the heart grow fonder of the Sun.

Here’s your AutoFun Philippines Rearview Roundup. Bring on the XForce(?) The dramatic-looking Mitsubishi XFC Concept always se

The 2024 Chevrolet Trax is set to launch very soon, on July 4, 2023. With the new model's arrival comes a new design, more features, and bigger dimensions than the older model. Now that the new vehicle is larger than before, It begs the question for the all-new Trax, should it now be considered a compact crossover instead of a subcompact? Before we understand why the 2024 Chevrolet Trax should get an up-class to a compact, we will quickly discuss the terminologies used to ensure everyone is on t

At Clark International Speedway, Car #150 and Car #214 line up behind the starting tree of the National Drag Racing Championship Series (NDRC). Car #214 is much like many other drag cars in the Philippines – a ‘90s Honda Civic ESi with a ram-air intake. Its silver trumpet sticks out of the right headlight like a monocle.
