The latest  Pagani  Zonda of the 760-series has just been delivered to a Chinese supercar collector. It is officially dubbed the Pagani Zonda 760RSJX and is arguably the most eye-catching example of the 760-series to leave Pagani’s Italian factory so far. The Pagani Zonda 760RSJX has arrived in Hong Kong thanks to Pagani China Automotive Limited (PCAL). PCAL helps connect Pagani buyers to the Italian supercar manufacturer and helps to reduce communication times between the customer and Pagani itself. Additionally, Pagani China Automotive Limited provides dynamic & interactive response on its customisation and special design options for customers ordering unique Pagani models.

The Honda HR-V has been launched in Thailand. The B-segment SUV is positioned as a “premium sport crossover” in the Land of Smiles and is only available in 1.8 litre form, paired to a CVT automatic gearbox.

Standard on the entry-level S grade are Ultra Seats, Smart Key (keyless entry) wit...

The ASUS ZenFone series have seen tremendous success. Just recently ASUS Malaysia has managed to propel itself to the #3 Smart Phone spot in the last quarter. As for the models, there are just so many variants of its mid-range ZenFone 5 that we are starting to lose count. To add more choice, a newer ZenFone 5 Lite is expected to come to Malaysia and from the sounds of it, it will be an affordable variant of the ZenFone 5 that still maintains a 5″ display. It was recently spotted in our Malaysian SIRIM database with the model number A502CG. The ZenFone 5 Lite was recently announced in the Philippines with the price tag of just 5,595 Pesos (or about RM417). This slots right between its current ZenFone 4 and ZenFone 5. In terms of specs , the 5″ display pushes qHD resolution of 960×540 but thankfully it uses IPS panel that offers better viewing angles. Powering the device is a 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2520 processor with 1GB of RAM, which is similar to the ZenFone 4. The main camera r...

By now, you would be familiar with the Takata airbag recall issue – the Japanese parts maker’s airbags have been the focus of a series of massive recalls since 2008, involving over 17 million vehicles worldwide, according to  Reuters . The recalls involve improperly-manufactured airbag inflators – in a crash, the inflator could rupture and cause, in extreme cases, metal shards from the airbag casing to be sprayed at the occupants, potentially maiming or killing them. The flawed part has been linked to at least four deaths in the US and a considerable number of injuries. Initially, the component in question was the front passenger airbag inflator, but lately it has emerged that a Malaysian, travelling in a 2003 Honda City that contained a defective airbag, was killed in a collision in July, and it was the driver’s airbag inflator that ruptured, sending shrapnel flying inside the car. The Malaysian incident is not only the first related death outside the US, but als...

If you’re looking for an Android tablet that’s different from the usual boxy design, the new  ASUS Memo Pad 7  (ME572CL) with 4G LTE is something worth checking out. Design wise, the Memo Pad 7 which is said to be inspired by clutch bags and wallets, is available in 3 colours, with each having a distinctive texture. The Rose Champagne colour has a pearl finish, while the Burgundy Red model comes with a dark lacquer coat that ASUS says mimics that of a grand piano. Lastly the Gentle Black model with a matte-black finish and texture which claims to look and feel like fine leather. While the exterior looks more stylish than other compact rivals, the MemoPad 7’s body uses fiberglass which is reinforced by a duralumin frame. The front gets a 7″ Full HD (1920×1200) resolution IPS Truvivid display and under the hood it runs on Intel’s 64-bit Atom Z3560 processor that has 4 cores clocked at 1.83GHz and is mated to 2GB of RAM.
