Bros don't necessarily have to say anything to each other - they can stand beside their rides and just be completely comfortable with each other.

This is Genji Perfect Speed aka GPS. The GPS team was formed by a few good men who have been together through thick and thin. Their toys grew bigger as they move along in life, and this is where their love for naturally aspirated cars began. Who forms GPS, you may ask. Purely car enthusiasts irregardless of auto styling or performance, they come together on a common ground to share their drive experiences and impart automotive knowledge to each other.

GPS engaged us to shoot a small, private group of five cars, namely, two Mitsubishi Lancers, a Honda DC5 Integra, Subaru WRX and a Honda Stream. Apart from their racing inspired livery, exhaust notes of a healthy decibel dosage is also the common denominator.

Scroll down to see the rest of the individual shots.

Three Audi A4s, three different power trains.

You could immediately hear the fury of exhaust notes these cars made a mile away before you get to see them. The leader of the pack was a special blue wrapped, naturally aspirated V6 3.2L FSI Quattro variant. Acting as sidekicks were two other A4 variants in murdered black and glorious white - a 1.8T FSI S-Line and a 2.0T FSI S-Tronic Quattro respectively - all tuned to unlock their engines' potential. 

Upon arrival, the trio quickly formed up behind our all-ready cam car to capture the first runs under an overcast morning sky. As we fired away the shots, it was inherent to us why the A4 continues to be one of the more popular executive sedans in the market, especially in the used car market. 

Thanks to its bold styling and clean lines, the A4 still look timeless today despite being close to a decade old. It could also be the fact that the B6 A4 was the brainchild of Peter Schreyer way back two generations ago at Audi that has kept this design influence going strong. The A4 has the ability to blend spirited driving performance with passenger comfort at a reasonable price. This combination of factors is probably her recipe of success.



This is the reason why this A4 is so good looking. We usually don't approve of sticking a big ass GT wing on a 4-door sedan but the owner took a gamble and it pays off handsomely, literally. 

The machine is German but the heart is JDM. You can tell by the number of decals shouting Japan which the owner has stuck to the car. 

The owner of this bewitching red Audi A1 Sportback is a fan of lush greens and heritage roads. Well, actually most city dwellers like you and me do. Who wouldn't? Having face the concrete jungle for most of our waking times, we long for that little escape into the wild to get back in touch with mother nature.

The striking Misano red supermini took to the B-roads gladly, much to delight of the owner. The premium 1.0 litre A1 Sportback is a surprising little car. Despite being a 3-cylinder (Audi's first), the engine doesn't sound nor drive like one, thanks to a small turbocharger and direct injection technology. It is adequately fast, nippy and hugs dearly to the tarmac whenever we push it round the corners. Some say it's built to rival a Mini Cooper but in reality, they are two very different cars in terms of drive and styling.

Overall, the A1 Sportback is a very fashionable looking car, and there are no doubts on the equipment and interior luxury trims. With the downsizing of the engine capacity, it is definitely a car built for lower running costs and taxes for the smart urbanites.  

You want to lead, to be the coolest, have the most charm and be simply irresistible to any gender. Everyone wants to gravitate to and look like you in every way. (That, we believe is what the owner, Chris had in mind when he decided on the choice of colour.) In this case, you will be known as Blue Steel, a famous modeling move in comedy flick, Zoolander. On the contrary, this Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in special matte lightning blue steel wrap is definitely not to be taken lightly.

The landscape is getting tougher to mod a car in Singapore especially with the recent clamp down on an ever increasing modification "ban" list that dampens local car enthusiasts here. Some make sense whereas a few, questionable. In any case, this did not prevent Jiawei from tinkering his Mitsubishi Lancer EX within the legal boundaries using his good eye for colour and body styling.

His favourite unspoken colour is Vermilion, a special hue of orange and red that is strikingly loud on the streets even at night. That goes up as the main wrap colour for his ride with black as a secondary colour accent.

Inspired by the brand's halo car, the Evolution X, Jiawei's car is fitted with rally style front lip and side skirt, CZ4A model's bonnet hood, fender side vents and spoiler. Add on a set of black 18" sports rims and the external visual appeal climbed up a few notches.

Visual appeal didn't stop there. Swinging into the car, hints of vermillion peppered the interior. A striking gearbox with a custom cut panel in glossy vermillion that looks oh so juicy greeted us. We then noticed the IU cover, mobile phone holder, steering wheel emblem, right down to the car mats are of vermillion shade too. Now, that's styling consistency!
With the haze hitting us hard during the shoot, we knew the best opportunity was here to create mystery and intrigue in our shots. This dark, secluded back alley in the CBD has indeed made the haze work in our favour.  No single smoke machine in the market could replicate such an authentic feel to the final edits. The downside? We literally had to shoot wearing our N95 masks for a couple of hours.

A Glacier White Audi A3 sedan sped graciously down the highway on a moonless night, occasionally grunting to hint at the need for a harder push on the pedal. It takes joy in acceleration and release of tensions built up in the turbocharger very much like a pressure cooker.

Yet at the same time, the new A-segment sedan prides itself in plush interior comfort and noise deadening from the outside world. Spotting a shorter but wider wheel base than a regular sedan means it can also take more punches at the steering wheel when cornering. The whole ride becomes more agile and receives more feedback from the road directly beneath.

Audis are commonly sighted in affluent cities and especially so in Singapore where the brand is known to market itself pretty aggressively here. With a sizeable chunk of the car population being dominated by the German brand, and with black and white being the popular colour choices, it gets increasingly hard to find your Audi in the car parks at times.

Owners start looking out for creative ways to stand out from the crowd by customising their rides. There are many aftermarket motor workshops catering to do just that. Be it from rims, bodykits, grilles, to exhaust and lighting accessories. 

One such local company is MC2 Styling who designs and develops customised full bodykits and parks it under a brand called BlacKrome. They have recently launched their new workshop and done up two show cars to gain foothold in this specialised area. Part of the strategy is to create brand collaterals with new imagery and we were subsequently engaged to produce some stunning shots with the help of model Jasline.

We were not joking if we told you this year's traditional 0808 rounding was an intimate experience with the Traffic Police. sgCarShooters had the privilege to be the chase car for TeamCloud9SG, an exclusive Singapore supercar group that consists of a handful of exotic rides with a few hundred horsepower to spare.

The super convoy started from the West and continued to the North before heading our way down to the South, all these while with two Traffic Police bikes right ahead of us for almost a third of the journey. We wound up the "adventure" with a friendly Traffic Police taking down our particulars for routine checks.

Happy 50th birthday, Singapore!

Rides that took part in the convoy: Mercedes-AMG A 45, Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupé, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, BMW i8, Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale, Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible, Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. (Chase car: Mitsubishi Evolution X GSR SST)

Our shoot starts upon the first light of a Sunday morning. With a sense of country side lifestyle persona running deep within, we brought the Beetle to the suburb to strut its stuff. Without hesitation, the Beetle blends into the surroundings effortlessly like a duck takes to water.

A combination of stationary compositions and still shots were applied to accentuate it's curves and exemplify its details. The Beetle is then brought for a ride around the suburb against the backdrop of the sunrise.

As it negotiates the turns and straights, we executed our signature rolling shots, capturing the finer details of its movements and to a certain extend, the speed. Yes, the speed! As the ride progresses, the nagging urge of the beetle raring to go keeps getting stronger. We decided the environment of the suburb could no longer contain the spirit of the new Beetle and with that, we released it on the highway and found some friends along the way.
