SUPER GT - 2003 Honda NSX JGTC #100 - Autoart

If you want to watch those Japanese cars being wide bodykitted and fitted with screaming high rev engines, the Super GT is the right place to be!

Super GT is Japan's premier racing event which held yearly. The races are done on some of the Japan's famous racing circuits such as Suzuka, Fuji Speedway, Motegi etc. Besides Japan, the Super GT is also held in Sepang Circuit, Malaysia... the one and only oversea race in the Super GT calendar.

Japanese car makers used to show off their highly tuned supercars and put head-to-head among each other to create a thrilling atmosphere... not only the drivers but the spectators! And not to forget, one of the hawt features in Super GT, the hawt babes!!!

First Super GT (formerly known as Japanese GT Championship - JGTC) car from my collection - the 2003 Raybrig NSX #100 from Autoart. Details are great, but it's a sealed body model.

Lamborghini Gallardo - Autoart

My first Lamborghini collection began when I purchased this yellow raging bull from Wisma Atria in KL. Despite it's an 1/18 scale diecast, it was a love at first sight!

WRC - Toyota Corolla WRC - Didler Auriol - Autoart

It's been quite a while that I didn't update my blog due to my busy schedule... manage to take a breathe in posting a diecast blog now. Anyway, my WRC collection continues with this 1998 Toyota Corolla driven by Didler Auriol and Denis Giraudet as his co-driver. This is the Great Britain rally edition from Autoart.

WRC - Ford Focus RS WRC - Colin McRae - Autoart

When we talk about rally cars, they must be tough and rough... drivers have to cooperate with their co-drivers and run their cars on straight gravel roads at more than 200km/h... this is WRC (World Rally Championship), one of the most exciting events in the rally calendar. WRC has been getting even more interesting this season... with Kimi Raikkonen joining in the fun... but that's on the drivers' side. On the manufacturer's side, it's just Citroen vs Ford... hmmm...

The first WRC model to be posted here is the 2002 Ford Focus piloted by the legendary Colin McRae with Nicky Grist as the co-driver. This is the Rallye Monte Carlo version produced by Autoart.

Aston Martin DB9 - Minichamps

In my previous post, I mentioned that I love tuned cars since they look more menacing and aggressive. However, in certain circumstances, some cars don't have to be tuned and they are already good lookers... such as this Aston Martin DB9. It does look good from every angle and create a sense of sexiness to our eyes.

It will be great if Minichamps includes windows for the car...

Nismo 350z S-Tune - Autoart

I like to collect tuned cars. Whenever there is a Skyline, I will go for the GTR... whenever there's a 5 Series, I will take the M5... whenever there is a Lancer, I will go for the Evo etc. Seldom pick the stock version though, unless they are real supercars such as the Prancing Horses or the Raging Bulls.

Same goes to this 350z... the added Nismo accessories, liveries and wheels turn the car into an S-Tune version. Compared to the stock version, the S-Tune does look meaner and cooler... which is why I like tuned cars.
