Bonifacio Global City's new traffic rerouting scheme to take effect on March 1
Bonifacio Global City (BGC), also known as 'The Fort' to others, is rapidly growing into a major business and lifestyle hotspot in the metro. And with the growth comes extra vehicular traffic, that if left unmanaged, can quickly turn any city into a parking lot. So starting today, March 1, 2013, BGC is implementing a new traffic rerouting scheme that will hopefully ease the traffic flow along McKinley Parkway which leads to and from Forbes Park. (See map)

A date with a dolled-up Porsche 911 Carrera S
Words and photos by Christopher Kho
It's not everyday that you get the chance to go on a date with a supermodel - a voluptuous German one for that matter. So when the opportunity came my way, I could hardly say no. She might be a little wide on the hips, but she is sure to turn heads wherever she goes. Some have warned me that this doll could be a bit too hot too handle. Still, I've heard that she's great in the saddle. Her name is the Porsche 911 Carrera S, and she’s based on the latest 991 chassis.

Pilipinas Shell pips “Most exciting car launch of the year” (w/ video)
Something big is coming to Shell. How big? Well, they sent us this 15 second teaser of what they'd like to hail as the “Most exciting car launch of the year.”
While they're keeping mum on what exactly is hiding under the cloth, the silhouette resembles a modern Formula 1 car. But from what we can see, its front wing, side pods, air intake, and rear wing are either too high or too angular to be anything close to the past or present grand prix cars. One important detail though is that the Italian racing red cover bears the emblem of Scuderia Ferrari.

Bellissimo! Ferrari and Maserati set up shop at The Fort
Words by Christopher Kho
Before the raging bull gets a chance to make its grand arrival in the country, Autostrada Motore Inc. went ahead and officially opened its doors last March 1, 2012 as the first importer-distributor of two great Italian supercar marques in the Philippines. Also owned by the Soong's, Ferrari and Maserati now take up residence at the 32nd St. & 4th Ave., Crescent Park West, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig and share stables with Jagauar, Land Rover, and Range Rover. And to mark the special occasion, they officially unveiled the Ferrari 458 Italia and new Maserati Grandturismo MC Stradale.
The showroom reverberates with pure Italian heritage and allows each upcoming Ferrari or Maserati owner to tailor-fit their supercar to their own preference - including body color, interior trim, and wheel designs. The world-class facility also includes a factory-certified service center to keep each Italian exotic in tip top shape.

The Range Rover Evoque is all set to conquer the Philippines (w/ video)
Words and photos by Christopher Kho | Videos courtesy of LRPhils Motors Inc.
Contrary to popular belief, not all Range Rover owners are big, brutal, wealthy, hairy men that enjoy leisurely weekend afternoons playing golf and go off-roading in the bush whenever they want to. Hence, they've made a smaller and trendier version for the more modern crowd of today, fit for late night clubbing, out of town road trips, and sunny days on the beach. Let me introduce to you the all-new Evoque, Range Rover's baby SUV, and it's now here in the Philippines.
LRPhils Motors Inc., the exclusive distributor of Land Rover in the country, officially unveiled last week the three- and five-door versions of the all-new Range Rover Evoque - arguably the smallest, lightest, and most spectacular Range Rover ever to roam the face of the Earth.
