Under the clear night sky dotted with glittering stars, a beastly tuned 620bhp supercharged BMW M3 sat tranquilly, seemingly enjoying the companionship of a beauty and the peaceful surrounding. This E93 convertible is the last of the naturally aspirated V8 engine fitted to an M power plant and clearly, car lovers are not exactly pleased, now that high-revving engine notes will soon be a thing of the past.

No longer will there be extreme heart skipping and head turning moments when you put your foot to the pedal. According to the German marque, forced induction or also known as turbocharging will now take over the NA for the sake of mankind's future (add sarcasm).



Small sadness aside, we got on with our work, approaching the M3 like a sacred object. This is no ordinary M3. It is the official safety car for Sports Car Club Singapore, or SCCS in short, and is fitted with one of the sexiest body kits you can find for this car - a Vorsteiner GTRS5 wide body kit limited to just 40 worldwide.




Also fitted to this mean machine are 20 inchers BC Racing forged rims with fully customised orange crystal colour. Along with decals and running LED lights, this fully complete a totally badass, legit safety car look. Words aside, we'll leave you to enjoy the rest of the photos.

Inspired by Singapore Airlines' Light Up the Night Carnival, we revisited the F1 pit in the middle of the night for a photoshoot with Gavriel and his Mercedes Benz C180 luxury sedan, against the familiar Marina Bay skyline that was stunning as usual.

The photo shoot brief was to create a corporate and professional outlook for Gavriel with this new ride. With the thunderstorm looming on the horizon, we knew outdoor time was precious and had to execute the shoot with precision before shifting to our backup location.



This is Gavriel, after warming up to the camera. With his tall physical frame and meticulous wardrobe, it was easy to create that CEO-calibre looking scenario.  



As for the car, the Mercedes Benz C180 Kompressor is no stranger to the road scene in Singapore. It was the class leader for luxury sedan sales, overtaking the BMW 5 series executive sedan a year after it was introduced here in 2008. Comfortable, refined and well built with a touch of class, definitely the right car for the right owner.

They say the city never sleeps.

Passionate petrolheads like the #superwet bunch understands what that value holds and swear by that. In a country where conformity reigns and regulations strap around like handcuffs to your wrists, where speed cameras dot the map, and where traffic police and vehicle inspectors prowl the streets like tigers waiting to pounce on their next prey, the car culture scene in Singapore can only happen much in the dark.

Nevertheless, there are still some risks getting pulled over while driving the car even with that slightly tinted headlamps, GT-winged or coloured fog lights out.



At the stroke of midnight, our journey started with deep, heavy exhaust sounds rumbling and echo-breaking the silence of the multistorey car park as a stream of Hondas rolled their way up to the rooftop. DC5s lead the main collective and filled up by a couple of other JDMs and contis.





This location is the last few rooftop multistorey carparks left standing with a partially unblocked view as skyscrapers spring up denser and taller in the business district. Without manned security, some liberties were taken to get creative with light and we were pretty pleased with the end results...
