In XTM's Top Gear Korea, the standard Volkswagen Golf VI served as the reasonably priced car. Guests include Alex, Ahn Jae-Mo, Ryu Soo-Young, Boom, Ha Ha, Tony, Song Sun Mi, Huh Gak, and others pushed the Golf too hard to get their best possible lap times. Even Top Gear Korea host and touring car racer, Kim Jin Pyo, pushed this too hard. Surely, there will be more Korean celebs pushing the Golf for the top of the Top Gear Korea track.
These cars though, are not the Volkswagen Golf but rather they are Volkswagen Golfs with new brains and pumped up muscles. They started out in life as the Volkswagen Golf VI but since then, both of them are sport oriented for the enthusiasts in mind.
This is the Golf GTi...
...and this is the Golf R.
First was the Volkswagen Golf VI GTi, it still has the legendary GTi heritage dating back in the 70's and it's pumped up with the 2.0L engine that produces 210 PS (154 kW; 207 hp) of power, 280 N·m (207 lb·ft) of torque, 0-60mph time of 6.9 seconds and top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph). Surely, the GTi is one heck of a popular choice for the Volkswagen fans worldwide not only because of its heritage, but also for its sensible performance. It was one of my favorite Volkswagens ever made but when it comes to performance, I think the Golf VI GTi never won my heart because there was one kind of Golf that really won my heart because it was much of a tamed version of the GTi.
The Golf VI R is known to be the most powerful Golf ever made thanks to its improved 2.0L TSi engine that produces 270 PS (199 kW; 266 hp) of power, 350 N·m (258 lb·ft) of torque, 0-60m time of 5.7 seconds and top speed limited to 250 km/h (155 mph). What's surprising that the Golf R is packed with the 4Motion all-wheel drive system that no longer requires a difference in speeds between the front and rear axles thanks to some electric pump is used to build pressure. This car then really eat my Golf GTi Mk6 for breakfast but how? Let's compare both of these with a little time attack at the Top Gear Test Track...
Our Golf GTi Mk6 did it in 1:32.891 while the Golf VI R did it in 1:29.063 so on paper then, the Golf R really is quicker than the Golf GTi with such a huge gap to fill it in by other cars. But still, I can't deny that both the GTi and the R really worked out their magic of being track wolves in sheep's clothing. They may be mild but menacing.
Hennessey Performance Engineering, a Texas-based tuning company specialized on creating one of the finest tuned cars in America. It was founded in 1991 by John Hennessey, whose competitive spirit, engineering creativity, and burning desire made him creative to create fast cars out of them. His first project was modifying the Mitsubishi GTO, which participated in various events that included Nevada open road races, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb and a record setting 173-mph run at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Later on, Hennessey tunes some of the finest Japanese sports cars such as the Toyota Supra and the Mazda RX-7 until in 1993, Hennessey Performance challenged themselves by modifying Dodge Vipers that made him competitive in similar events. His creation, the Hennessey Venom 500 Viper was born and the 163mph beast in the Silver State Challenge attracted much attention. The year 2005 saw Hennessey Performance pushed further with the goal to tune the Ford GT into something capable of shattering the 200mph barrier. With several years later of tuning success, the one man tuning firm became a 30-employee company located at a 30,000-square foot facility off Interstate 10 about 45 minutes west of Houston. Out of Hennessey's finest tuned machines, one car stands out among the rest...
A Taste of Venom
It's called the Venom GT, Hennessey's pride and joy that is based on the Lotus Exige and powered by the turbocharged version of the engine that powers the Corvette ZR1. Beware of its venomous looks and its quirky handling that will become extremely lethal even the slightest mistake. This is getting more dangerous to drive than the Koenigsegg CCX, just, faster than the original Bugatti Veyron, and this Venom shouldn't be called a Venom. This is a potential Devil car you can buy for a million pounds. Sounds explosive but just how "Devil" is this real-life Devil car?
The Devil wears "Lotus Elise"
Simple, just like the Noble M600 we tried a few months ago that has three adjustable modes that you can choose from 450HP up to 650HP, the Hennessey Venom GT also has three adjustable power modes but this time, hairy-chested drivers have the choice to drive it at 800 bhp, 1,000 bhp & 1,200 bhp. On the maximum power mode, it will get 1,155 lb-ft of torque and it has a power to weight ratio of 767.23 hp per ton or 2.61 lbs / hp. In Top Gear math, this is more powerful than the Bugatti Veyron! Oh, speaking of "more powerful than the Bugatti Veyron", hear this; 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and 0-200mph in 15.3 sec. (Bugatti Veyron = 24.2 sec.) Here you go. One simple science lesson that the power to weight ratio of the Venom GT is more powerful than the Bugatti Veyron, making it a formidable for you wouldn't want to see one at your rear view mirror.
When I first tried the Hennessey Venom GT, this Lotus-based hypercar is just too hyper. This car is way too fast and very very difficult to drive. It only works if you are hairy-chested or brave enough to tame the venom within your veins. When you put your foot in the pedal, your body becomes extremely drunk with power and soon, you will become enslaved to the Venom GT's powerrr!!! POWERRRRR!!!! It turns experienced drivers into a prisoner of its kind where he can't escape the Venom GT and if you overstuck the mark, even slightly, it will kill you, harshly. It will always harass you more than the Koenigsegg CCX and worse of all, your experience to the ride quality of the Venom feels like you've been stabbed by the knife.
The killer handling is what made the Venom GT special...
The Hennessey Venom GT demands FEAR and RESPECT among the hairy-chested of the car enthusiasts, even those Forza Faithfuls who got their hands on the star attraction of the May Top Gear Pack, which is now on sale. If you've been harassed by someone driving a Venom GT, your best bet is to surrender now unless you find something to exorcise this car on the track. If your in the Venom GT, be warned that the devilish exterior and the harassing cornering is truly a WORK OF A "Le Crinale" or "The Devil" (sorry about this...) and if it happened just like Stig crashed the Koenigsegg CCX, I don't care because the devil's already got you as his prey. Yep, the Venom GT is somewhat the kind of car you will be stuffed. If only someone as brave as The Stig, would be wise to choose it.
The cone...already harassed by the Venom GT
This car really harassed me...a lot. But being harassed by the Venom GT's looks and handling is just what makes it special.
So, the Mitsubishi RVR, the Citroen C4 Aircross, and the Peugeot 4008. Are they really are different even though they were from the same path?
It certainly is, even though their interiors are different. The performance is what really mattered for these. The RVR currently has the newly developed 4J10 MIVEC engine with the new Auto Stop & Go feature, an idling stop function which is Mitsubishi's first. The C4 Aircross and the 4008 however, didn't have that kind because they offer in diesel engines mated with a 6-speed manual. The C4 Aircross has a 1.6L engine while the 4008 doesn't. That's what differ from each other.
So, the question is, which of these three do you prefer? The Mitsubishi RVR? The Citroen C4 Aircross? Or the Peugeot 4008?
I'm afraid I can't answer that question but anyway, it is now time to do the news!
Right, and we will begin with a little something. Now, Kotobukiya, one of the finest toymakers based in Japan, they've launched another one of their IDOLM@STER figures. They announced the new Miki Hoshii -Angelic Island- figure, which will go on sale this September with the 8,190 Japanese Yen pricing.
This is the 2nd Kotobukiya IDOLM@STER figure ever made. The first one was the Makoto Kikuchi figure, which will be on sale this August.
Mmmm...Mmmmm....mmmmm!!! That Miki Hoshii, surely is one of my favorites. You can't deny how cute she is.
Whoa there buddy. You're getting obsessed with her?
(laughing)
What? No! I mean yes! I mean no! That's not what I meant! I really really liked this figure but this Kotobukiya-made Miki Hoshii figure, it's a bit too bland. I would rather prefer the Beach Queens Miki Hoshii figure because it looks good, I can't deny it.
Okay....Why don't you pre-order those and find out?
(laughing)
Anyway, forget figure hijinks. I got noticed by someone from Toyota that Gazoo Racing modified the Toyota 86 into something a bit more highbrow...
GRMN SPORTS FR Concept
Some say, this is the GRMN SPORTS FR Concept, and this is based on the Toyota 86. They've put some kind of twincharger that Toyota remains it secret. Yep, nobody knows what's behind this twincharger but who knows? This is like Polo GTi technology...
(laughing)
Anyway, word from Toyota is that the 86-based SPORTS FR Concept will be displayed at this year's Nurburgring 24 Hour Race.
Honestly, that 86-based GRMN SPORTS FR Concept, it doesn't look similar from the Toyota FT86 G Sports Concept but this one's way too better, just, way more better from the Subaru BRZ STi Concept from Los Angeles last year. What I like about this GRMN SPORTS FR Concept is that this is some kind of Toyota 86 and Lexus LFA crashed into one.
(laughing)
Uh-huh...Looks like it...
Anyway, the Renault Espace, currently on its longest running 4th generation, it seems that Renault won't giving up this popular people carrier that a certain Top Gear episode turned an Espace into a convertible people carrier.
(laughing)
Instead, they give this old chap a mild minor change thanks to its new Renault trademark face. Here's the pic...
2013 Renault Espace
No much info yet for now but Renault says that they will have more info in the 3rd quarter of 2012.
The 2013 Espace is standing tall despite being too old. Heh, no wonder Renault's trying to keep this rubbish people carrier a little longer by giving it a mild makeover. That seems to be a bit too old-fashioned... But there's something that is not old fashioned as this...
2013 Toyota Estima
2013 Toyota Estima interior
2013 Toyota Estima Hybrid
2013 Toyota Estima Hybrid interior
It's the 2013 Toyota Estima and the 2013 Toyota Estima Hybrid. This is the second time they've facelifted the third generation Toyota Estima. New exterior look, refreshed interior, same performance.
Yep. Same performance, you would still expect the unchanged 2.4L, 3.5L V6, and a Hybrid version that carries a 2.4L engine with Toyota Hybrid System II. Prices ranged from 2,750,000 Japanese Yen to 5,137,000 Japanese Yen.
Uh, the Toyota Estima seems to be more good looking than the Espace but let's not forget that the Estima is also sold in countries like Australia (as Tarago), Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, and China. I don't see countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia on their list. So...
So...
So...
This situation is the same as the other Japanese MPVs but the most annoying people that...
(ahem)
Oh. What did I say?
Remember what I told you?
Oh...Sorry. Let's forget about this and let's move on...
Right!
2013 Nissan Cima
Next week, Nissan will be selling the all new 2013 Nissan Cima and I got some interesting news. A few moments ago, I got reports that the Nissan Fuga Y51 will be sold at Mitsubishi dealerships this summer as the new Proudia (nope, not the one that was the old Hyundai Equus). Now, it gets even more interesting that the Nissan Cima Y51 will be coming at Mitsubishi dealerships as the new Mitsubishi Dignity.
In case you don't know, the Dignity is somewhat the long wheel base variant of the Mitsubishi Proudia. Ugh....This is getting be rather confusing about this but I got reports that this new Mitsubishi Dignity will come in Japan this summer. (God help us)
Anyway, here comes Sebastian Vettel's kung fu movie, courtesy of Infiniti. Check out KUNG FU VETTEL: DRIVE OF THE DRAGON starring Celina Jade and Sebastian Vettel.
About the RS1800:
The RS1800 was based on the Mark II Ford Escort for the European market (1975-1980). It was essentially made for rally racing but road-legal versions are proven to be a classic rarity for car enthusiasts. Mk. II Escorts have a reputation for its undefeated run at the RAC rally from 1975 to 1979, winning a host of events worldwide. In the 1979 WRC season, Bjorn Waldegard, who drove a RS1800 rally car, won the driver's title. 2nd-placer Hannu Mikkola and 5th placer Ari Vatanen were also driving rally-spec RS1800's.
In 1981, Ari Vatanen drives a rally-spec RS1800 and won the driver's title. Despite the debut of the formidable Audi sport quattro, Ford became part of the best three in the manufacturer's championship 6 times in a row.
Anyway. No time for history lessons. Our RS1800 Escort did it in...
1:38.950
So, a little please and thank you goes a long way for the Ford Escort RS1800. This car gave it all it can for the sake of the S15 in my collection and this is much like the others. Everyone, treat the RS1800 Escort with the respect it deserves.
Anyway, a quick update on the FM4 Porsche DLC Pack so far...
Earlier, they placed the new Cayman R on the list. That makes it five out of the seven new Porsches coming on Forza Motorsport 4. Which means, there's only two slots left. God help us...If they mentioned another GT3-RSR or by any chance, the GT3 RS 4.0, there won't be room for the 2013 Boxster or the 2012 911 (991) Carrera S. I just hope that Turn 10 Studios should be putting those because I really want to see the new Boxster and the new 911 on the list. If that wouldn't work out or if they put something, this Porsche DLC Pack on Forza 4 may have as well criticized for not having the new Boxster and the new 911 on their list. GOD HELP US!
Anyway, be happy that the Panamera Turbo's on the list. The recently announced 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo makes it nice because back in Clarkson's DVD, Thriller, Jeremy Clarkson added some homemade rocket launcher on the Porsche 944; combining horsepower and firepower. (LOLZ)
And that's the news! We'll leave you with some greatest commercial hits made by Surf Reyes.
Some say this is the Mitsubishi RVR but it isn't. Its the Mitsubishi RVR's French cousins; the Peugeot 4008 and the Citroen C4 Aircross. This isn't the first time the French carmakers using underpinnings from Mitsubishi. Back in 2007, PSA Peugeot-Citroen collaborated with Mitsubishi Motors for their own versions of the Mitsubishi Outlander crossover known as the Peugeot 4007 and the Citroen C-Crosser. In 2010, they did it again by turning the all-electric Mitsubishi i MiEV into a Peugeot iOn and the Citroen C-Zero. The Citroen C4 Aircross and the Peugeot 4008 are somewhat to be the third difficult album about a partnership between PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Mitsubishi Motors.
2013 Peugeot 4008
2013 Peugeot 4008
This Peugeot equivalent of the Mitsubishi RVR, the 4008, is the better looking of the triplets. It's just as better looking than the C4 Aircross and the RVR, just, it's much more fun to see than looking at a Scottish actress in her black Mizuno racing swimwear, and it doesn't have a petrol engine like the Citroen Aircross. This 4008 is the thinking man's crossover, a smaller brother to the Peugeot 3008 crossover which gives them some choices for Peugeot's crossover lineup consists of the 4008, the 3008, and the new 508 RXH. Peugeot's design DNA really perfected the 4008's credentials and judging by the way it looks, it's just right. This is just like a young woman in her Mizuno racing swimwear armed to the teeth with her P90, a Five-seveN, combat knife, and a dose of stun grenades. That's why I like this 4008's exterior because it's very feisty to look at.
2013 Peugeot 4008 interior
The interior is just RVR-ish because you would expect the Mitsubishi-favorite Rockford Fosgate audio and navigation system, an optional panoramic roof, seating for five, foldable rear seats, and that's about it. Nothing's different when it comes to the 4008's interior because, again, this is just a Mitsubishi RVR in Peugeot's clothing.
2013 Peugeot 4008
Unlike the Citroen C4 Aircross, which has a 1.6i petrol engine, an HDi 115 diesel, and the HDi 150 diesel engine, the new Peugeot 4008 has two variants such as 1.6L HDi FAP 115ch BVM6 and a 1.8L HDi FAP 150ch BVM6. That's right. There is no petrol engine available on the 4008, serving this as a major difference. You can also expect the Drive Mode Selector, which provides the driver three different modes to choose from such as 2WD for better fuel economy, 4WD Auto for traction, and 4WD Lock where you want to take it on tarmac, gravel, and snow, even in the rain.
Available exterior colors are Blanc Antartique, Gris Cool Silver, Noir Perle, Gris Thorium, and White Pearl.
My comment:
It's amazing that the Peugeot 4008 is much more better looking than the Mitsubishi RVR and the Citroen C4 Aircross even though they're on the same platform and having the same interior look. I can't deny that the 4008 is a better looking compact crossover, a proper Nippon-French cooperation since...ermmm...ever. Sadly, I think that the partnership between PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Mitsubishi Motors' a bit on a problem because PSA Peugeot-Citroen found a new partner, which is General Motors. The 4008, which is one of the PSA-Mitsubishi co-op, won't be available as a right-hand drive and sadly, the 4008 is NOT coming in United Kingdom. Sorry...

2013 Citroen C4 Aircross
2013 Citroen C4 Aircross
The Citroen C4 Aircross is just rather a spin-off of the Citroen C4. Remember, despite the naming, it doesn't share some of the components of the second generation Citroen C4. What you expect underneath on the Citroen C4 Aircross is actually a Mitsubishi RVR from Citroen's point of view. Imagine if you try to put your Citroen C4 Aircross at your nearest Mitsubishi service center and chances are that they might think you're driving an RVR. In true French fashion, the Citroen C4 Aircross do come with a very quirky design DNA that truly expresses the brand's "Creative Technologie" slogan.
2013 Citroen C4 Aircross interior
On the interior, well, the C4 Aircross really looked the same as the Mitsubishi RVR. You would still expect getting the Mitsubishi-favorite Rockford Fosgate audio and navigation system, an optional panoramic roof, seating for five, foldable rear seats, and that's about it. Play a game of "Dashboard Spot the Difference" between the two and you would expect that there is only one change occurred; the steering wheel.
2013 Citroen C4 Aircross
The Citroen C4 Aircross has three engines available; a 1.6i petrol engine, an HDi 115 diesel, and the HDi 150 diesel engine. At first, the C4 Aircross is FF but with optional 4WD, you'll have the Drive Mode Selector, which provides the driver three different modes to choose from such as 2WD for better fuel economy, 4WD Auto for traction, and 4WD Lock where you want to take it on tarmac, gravel, and snow, even in the rain.
Back on the engine types. The 1.6i petrol engine produces 115PS of power, 154Nm of torque, 0-100kph in 11.3 seconds and top speed of 182kph. This engine has a combined fuel economy of 5.9L/100km and CO2 emissions of 135g/km. Onto the HDi 115 diesel, this has 112PS of power and 270Nm of torque. A Citroen C4 Aircross HDi 115 with 2WD will have a combined fuel economy of 4.6L/100km and 119g/km of CO2 emissions. A Citroen C4 Aircross HDi 115 with 4WD will have a combined fuel economy of 4.9L/100km and 129g/km. On the much powerful HDi 150, this produces 150PS of power and 300Nm of torque. With 2WD, expect a combined fuel economy of 5.4L/100km and 142g/km of CO2 emissions. With 4WD, you should expect 5.6L/100km of fuel economy and a
CO2 emission of 147g/km. The 1.6i petrol will have a 5-speed manual and HDi models will have a 6-speed manual.
Yes, the Citroen C4 Aircross is just a Mitsubishi RVR altered and edited to be sold in Citroen dealerships in Europe but terribly sorry, the C4 Aircross won't be made for right hand drive use and terribly, it won't be coming to the United Kingdom. Like the C-Crosser and the C-Zero, don't expect this one coming to Japan, but what the heck? It's just a Mitsubishi. A Mitsubishi RVR perhaps a little bit different when it comes to the outside and the performance figures.
So, the Civic Type R, one of the most respectable and the most memorable high-performance version of the tuner's favorite car, the Honda Civic. It was one of the best Hondas ever made to capture the mass audience of noise-making boys in their baseball caps, tattoos, piercings, jerseys, and low rider jeans. Punks to you. Anyway, how about tackling down on memory lane of the three Civic Type R's that revolutionized the world as the punk-friendly sports car only punks want to make noise on the neighborhood.
The EK9 tries to redeem itself on the road...
...and on the track
The EK9, the Civic Type R that started it all, became a phenomenon when it came out in Japan since 1997. Even though generations changed, rest assured that the EK9 is still the grandfather of the Civic Type R story. It was based on the 6th generation EK Civic and it draws inspiration from its big brother, the legendary Integra Type R. It has a B16B VTEC engine that produces 185HP of power and the chassis was made of monocoque for enhanced rigidity. On the inside, you might expect red Recaro sports seats, titanium shift knob, Momo steering wheel, and other Type R essentials that joyriders loved. The EK9 Type R is still, by far most, the best Type R ever built because those young punks in their baseball hats and their breath smells like cigarettes. If Yosi Kadiri was a driver, this is what he's driving...
Whoa! British Type R gone crazy at Suzuka!
The EP3 Civic Type R is a different kind of Civic Type R. It was first introduced in the United Kingdom since 2001, where it was manufactured in Swindon, England. Swindon...That's where former Doctor Who actress Billie Piper lived... (heh) Anyway, even though the EP3 Type R was made and sold in Britain, Japan imported this and retained some of the EK9 essentials such as the Limited Slip Differential and the red Recaro seats. It now uses the K20A 2.0L DOHC i-VTEC engine that produces 212HP of power and it comes with different intake manifold, exhaust manifold, higher-lift camshafts, higher-compression pistons, chrome-moly flywheel and ECU programming.
The EP3 Type R gained much praise from the motoring journalists in Britain. It won HOT HATCH OF THE YEAR awards more the once from Top gear, Fifth Gear, and What Car?
In 2004, an updated version was released and it comes with revised power steering, improved suspension, halogen headlamps, lighter clutch, flywheel assembly, and so on. It was made to address the criticisms include understeer on the limit, numb steering, and lack of low end torque.
FD2 crosses through the Honda headquarters...
This is the last Civic Type R in its existence in Japan, the FD2 Civic Type R. This was launched in 2007 as a 4-door sedan only for the first time while the hatchback version, the FN2, was sold only in Europe but later launched in Japan since 2009 as the Civic Type R Euro. It still has the K20A engine that became sacred to Honda fans everywhere but this time, 222HP of power, more than the Type R Euro we tried from a rival video game. The suspension is heavily tweaked, handling is hydraulic, modest aerodynamics, superb chassis, and this FD2 Type R is much more agile than the European FN2. It will go 0-60mph in under 6 seconds and it will go on up to 160mph. Really? The speedo reads up to 180kph like what most Japanese cars have.
Most car enthusiasts like to find out the 0-100kph time of Japanese cars but the Japanese car culture don't care about 0-100kph time, power to weight, top speed and so on. They'll only focused more on CVTs, fuel economy, JC08, 10-15 Mode, safety features, blah blah blah blah blah. All Japanese cars have speedos that read up to 180kph and that's it. About the Civic Type R, this is becoming more of a punk favorite. Joyriders stole them, villains use them as getaway cars, and insurance charged them with premiums. The Civic Type R is more of a high speed safety hazard or rather an invitation to break the law. The Civic Type R is a car made for criminals and some say, this is a nuisance to the neighborhood because of the extremely loud noise coming out from the Civic's muffler, like what most Honda sports cars do all the time.
Whatever, at least the Civic Type R is dead now and as told, the 9th generation Civic is not available in Japan. Yep, the Honda Civic is dead. CIVIC IS DEAD.
The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, a muscle car disguised as a premium sedan made from Sindelfingen, Germany. Eh...Don't worry, I saw the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG in one episode of Top Gear alongside the 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro, as reviewed by Richard Hammond. Anyway, it may not be more of a muscle, it still acts like a muscle even though this has a 6.2L V8 engine mounted on it. When The Stig got his hands full on the E63 AMG, it lapped a 1:24.9 lap time at the Top Gear Test Track. It's a remarkable German muscle in disguise, faster than the Lotus Evora or a Lamborghini Gallardo.
Despite that this is the potent E63 AMG, it's still the W212 E-Class that I know. The kind of car you would want to get from Everest Hills to De La Salle Zobel, making it an epic long-distance cruiser. A grand touring premium sedan blessed with the technology it deserves. I was more than happy to take the wheel of the W212 E-Class, in E63 AMG guise, because the design was just elegant unlike any other. Like most AMG models in their 6.3 AMG designation offered on Forza 4, the E63 AMG do come with the SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed for faster shifts and with traction control off, I may as well smoke all day long. The E63 AMG though may not as been dynamic as the Cadillac CTS-V but its still a proper all-round German muscle that tears down corners like scissors. Some say that the CTS-V sedan is no match to the E63 AMG because by due consideration and some Motor Trend article, the E63 AMG trounced the CTS-V. Yes, the CTS-V sedan is better than the M5 in corners and quicker than the Jaguar XFR in a drag race but when the CTS-V faced against the E63 AMG, they were close. It maybe as expensive than the CTS-V sedan but we're calling it a winner to the E63 AMG because, well, let's be honest that the king of super sedans has been dethroned, for now....
