Much like this small team that you might be familiar with
Many people call my job at Top Gear Philippines a 'dream job.' We get to drive the newest cars, ride some of the best bikes, and travel the world for what others might not see as 'work.' But it isn't all
Bought any of these?
In the world of local motoring, one can describe 2023 as the year of revenge launches. It seemed that every month, there was one major launch after another. Not that we're complaining, of course, or else we wouldn't have jobs.

Trust us, it drives as well as it looks
I will admit that the Nissan Z car is something I never really lusted after. For me, it's a car that's always been overshadowed by Skyline GT-R, and later on, the GT-R. I do have a lot of

Let’s see how it does in the long run
You're probably familiar with this situation by now. Every time a hyped and much anticipated car gets launched in the Philippines, it's guaranteed that some scalpers will their hands on it and sell it for a million (or two) more

Guaranteed standout
When it comes to triggering purists, Liberty Walk is one company that sends them hysterical. The Japanese custom car shop has been known for its wild builds that involve, um, hacking a bit of a car's bodywork. It doesn't matter

Icon versus icon
In case you missed it, Nissan Philippines (NPI) finally launched its much-anticipated Z sports car. Of course, it's now only natural that we compare it to its closest two-seater rival: the Toyota Supra.For this spec-sheet brawl, we'
A bargain by sports car standards
It could be said that there has never been a better time to be in the performance car market in the Philippines. You've got fun small coupes and roadsters, convertibles, hot hatchbacks, muscle cars, and sports cars from different manufacturers these

Towards the end of August, we learned that the new Nissan GT-R had quietly arrived in our market. It appears Nissan Philippines (NPI) had other plans for a not-so-quiet reveal, though, and little did we know that Godzilla was

At the unveiling of the new Nissan Z Nismo, the crowd was buzzing about two things: Why was it so unbelievably freaking hot in the event space? And, more important, why didn't Nissan fit the Z Nismo with a manual transmission?

The practical Z
The performance side of Nissan's lineup has been pretty exciting lately. Earlier this year, (another) facelift of the R35 GT-R was revealed. It was followed up by the production version of the new Z-car, and most recently, the Nismo
by Anton Andres
Quite a glaring omission...
Nissan would probably prefer we focus on the new Z Nismo's 420hp, 520Nm of torque, suspension tweaks, and nifty new wheels and tires. And sure, we'll talk about those. But right now we can't help but wonder: Where the

A recent speech from Nissan Philippines’ president suggests so
The current GT-R and the 370Z took a while before they made their way to our market. If that's what we're going to base Nissan Philippines' (NPI) future plans on, then we reckon it'll take even longer before
Think this model will ever get upsized?
Don't worry, the Nissan Z isn't getting upsized. Well, at least not yet.So, what's this then? It's not a Nissan Z crossover, but a crossover that's had a handful of Z aesthetics plastered all over its

Think all motorsports will eventually ditch traditional fuels?
We've yet to drive one, but the Nissan Z appears to have all the makings of something that should be a blast to drive. That said, the brand is out to prove the vehicle doesn't necessarily need its gas-guzzling

“It’s a back to basics feeling without a back to basics cabin”
What we have here is the latest in the more than 50 years of Nissan Z cars-the now-eponymous Nissan Z. So that's a lineage that links back through the 370Z and the 350Z, all the way back through the
