Lexus for Emotional Sports

2011 Lexus LFA


It's departure is its arrival, and the Lexus LFA made its arrival at the Philippines courtesy of Lexus Manila.

Just one LFA has arrived with "Whitest White" exterior color with "Red & Black" interior you can expect to meet at Lexus Manila face to face.

"This is a Lexus. We know - doesn't look like one does it? It doesn't sound like a Lexus from the details either. It has a 4.8-litre 552bhp V10. It also has a carbon-fibre body. Andit does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 200mph." - Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear

Forza Motorsport 4

Forza Motorsport 4
The world-class Forza Motorsport franchise is back on its fourth installment of the best selling XBOX 360 racing game everyone love because of its world-class car selection, world-class tuning, and world-class personalization.

FM4 is a safe haven for the car enthusiasts who are willing to tackle against the modern conventions of today's industry where fuel economy reigns over performance. Here, this game provides more features than the previous three games and it is the first Forza game to feature Top Gear-related content because of the collaboration between the Forza Motorsport franchise and BBC's Top Gear franchise.

WORLD-CLASS CAR SELECTION:
Forza Motorsport 4 offers over 500 cars from over 80 manufacturers, each with their own unique exterior, interior, performance, and the pride of nations, spanning half a century of cars from North America, Europe, Japan, Korea, and Australia. You can see some of your old favorites such as the Lexus LFA, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, Bugatti Veyron, Honda Civic Type-R Euro, Subaru Legacy B4 BM9, Nissan GT-R Spec V, McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini Murcielago SV, and others. There's also newcomers to the game as well such as the Honda EK-9 Civic Type R, the Ford XB Falcon as seen from Mad Max, Toyota Prius, Nissan Leaf, Lexus CT 200h, and the cars from Top Gear's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment such as the Suzuki Liana (known in Japan as the Aerio) sedan and the Kia c'eed.

New on this game is the AutoVista feature where players can explore different cars by the way the doors are opened, getting inside the vehicle, hear engine sounds and you can hear commentary from Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson. To unlock more cars for Autovista experience, you can take part on Autovista challenges and if you win, you can explore more about these cars on Autovista.

More new cars are coming soon as DLC packs starting next month but to keep you covered, players can purchase a Season Pass that covers six months of upcoming DLC content coming soon.

WORLD-CLASS RACETRACKS:
Forza Motorsport 4 takes you around the world to race against some of the finest racers for a true globe-trotting experience unlike any other. New to this game are Bernese Alps (original track takes place at Switzerland), Hockenheimring (world circuit takes place at Germany), Indianapolis Motor Speedway (world circuit takes place at North America), Infineon Raceway (world circuit takes place at North America), and The Top Gear Test Track.

WORLD-CLASS GAMEPLAY:
Forza Motorsport 4 changes the racing gameplay with its impressive gameplay and since this is the first to allow two ways to play; one by controller and other hands-free courtesy of Kinect. The way you turn, drift, or pass is rated by four bars at the left side of the screen. The level-up system been changed and there are different benefits. For instance, if you leveled up your driver level, you can choose one of the different car bonuses varying by class and if you spend hours racing with your car, you'll gain affinity levels which is somewhat similar from Ridge Racer 7. Higher affinity levels on car brands will give you discounts or cash bonuses. Aside from racing, there are some mini-games you can find such as Car Bowling, Car Soccer, Tag Virus, and others that you can find it more enjoyable than racing.

WORLD-CLASS PERSONALIZATION:
Customization is Forza's top priority and players can customize with various engine tunes, tire setups, transmissions, body kits, drive train conversions, and other tuning essentials to make it more powerful depending on the budget. Also the top priority is decorating your ride with various decals handmade by you and others. From here, you can create versions of famous race cars, liveries, or even itashas as well. Creativity in FM4 is the biggest world-class priority.

WORLD-CLASS CONNECTIVITY:
The biggest priority of FM4 is online connectivity. The new Rivals mode is somewhat similar from Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 because you can challenge against other players' ghosts for the best record and winning against these will give you cash prizes. If you noticed that someone beats your ghost, you can issue them a revenge and try the very best you can. New to Forza 4 are "Car Clubs" where you can start your very own "owners club" on the net much like you're starting a car club in real life. Join a car club or become the admin of the car club, whatever floats your boat. This is the best way to connect with Forza Faithfuls from around the world.

WORLD-CLASS BONUSES:
The Limited Collector's Edition will give you world-class bonuses such as a special disc case made of metal, The Cars of Forza Motorsport 4 by Top Gear booklet, VIP Membership (requires online connectivity), VIP Car Pack, BMW Custom Design Car Pack, and for pre-order bonuses, Launch Bonus car pack. The new BMW F10 M5 is available at the in-game Marketplace for free and yours to keep. A Seasonal Pass is available on the in-game marketplace, good for six months of DLC and you'll receive the American Muscle Car pack for free.

WORLD-CLASS COMMENT:
XBOX 360's Global Flagship Racing Game is now made even better than before with new gameplay features and Kinect compatibility that are guaranteed to play this game a thousand times before you pass out. The world-class FM4 leads the racing game takeover because of world-class car selection, world-class customization, world-class gameplay, and world-class online gaming that makes it the ultimate lesson of leadership. You are in control.

S. Vettel at the Nissan Gallery

A day after the Japanese GP at Suzuka Circuit, where Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel (known to fans as S. Vettel) defended his "Formula One World Champion", a special meet-and-greet with Sebastian Vettel was held at the Nissan Global Headquarters at Yokohama.

Sebastian Vettel F1 2011 World Champion
Celebration Event

This Sebastian Vettel F1 2011 World Champion Celebration Event held at Nissan Global Headquarters was packed with a talk section where the best staff from Nissan and Infiniti interview all about S. Vettel's fastest accomplishments aside from being a 2-time F1 World Champ. There was also the autograph part where everyone wants their stuff signed by S. Vettel himself. Even the ladies from Japan just can't get enough of the youngest F1 champion.

How did an owner of the Mitsubishi i MiEV goes Biribiri?

Biribiri lands to this i-MiEV


Spotted at the 2011 Ita-G Festa, what you see is not some kind of a Mitsubishi i-MiEV you would expect.

The owner of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV uses its "electric car" advantage to make an itasha i-MiEV fully loaded with everything BIRIBIRI! That is, Mikoto Misaka from the To Aru series. Obvious? Because she's BIRIBIRI, the owner took an advantage to her powers in order to create an i-MiEV itasha packed with everything Mikoto Misaka. You would wanna guess where would the i-MiEV charger attached? Simple, to a pile of Misaka Sisters figures.

If electric cars became a common, who can make an electric itasha?

You can't have this M3 (but you can do this on GT5)

BMW M3 Showcar "Chrome Bullet"


This is no ordinary M3 at its first glance because this kind of M3 was colored in "Chrome Silver", calling this the BMW M3 Showcar Chrome Bullet.

No, you can't have this kind of M3 but you can do this on Gran Turismo 5. If you have a "Chrome Silver" in your color collection and if you have a BMW M3 E92 in your garage, try and paint with this.

Is this the 2012 JDM Subaru Impreza?

Is this the 2012 JDM Subaru Impreza?

Is this the 2012 JDM Subaru Impreza?

The 2012 all-new Subaru Impreza already made its world premiere at the 2011 New York Auto Show but a certain Minkara blogger leaked some photos that what it claimed to be the all new, fourth-generation, Subaru Impreza. The exterior and interior details look somewhat similar to the ones shown at the New York Auto Show.



For the Japan-spec 4G IMPREZA, the hatchback model will be labeled as IMPREZA SPORT (スバル・インプレッサスポーツ) while the 4-door sedan model will be labeled as IMPREZA G4 (スバル・インプレッサG4).

G4? R U KIDDING ME? OWWS? HINDI NGA?! Whoa there. Looks like the Impreza G4 is what's too similar to the Legacy B4. Previous Impreza sedan was called Impreza Anesis but for the 4th generation Impreza sedan, it is called G4? Impreza G4? Geez...

Also, the new Impreza will be powered with two newly developed FB boxer engine. One is the all-new FB16 engine that produces 114PS of power and 150Nm of torque while the FB20 engine (as seen on the Forester), produces 150PS of power and 196Nm of torque. Available transmission variants will be a Lineartronic CVT or a 5-speed Manual transmission, depending on the variant.

It will also have Eyesight (アイサイト) system as well too. This system can discern other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists using twin cameras. It can also adapt automatic braking too just like the naughty Volvo S60. Looks like both the new "Impreza Sport" and the "Impreza G4" are going to be naughty.

Both the new Impreza Sport and the new Impreza G4 will be making a premiere next month with sales commence this late December 2011, some sources say.
