See, Singapore’s pretty rich and a lot of the people there have some full pockets.Including, apparently, one Ms. Angela Tan.Not only does she have deep pockets, but Tan also has a fine taste in exotics, which is especially evident after she plopped down a cool SGD$5.3 million for the chance to own the 2013 Koenigsegg Agera S. To help you out a little, that’s around $4.2 million based on current exchange rates.Angela Tan’s Agera S was officially unveiled at the Ritz Carlton Millenia over the weekend, which was attended by some 200 lucky VIPs. None of them, it seems, is luckier than Angela Tan, who now has the distinction of owning the most expensive car ever sold in Singapore.Click past the jump to read about the Koenigsegg Agera S Video: Koenigsegg Agera S Becomes the Most Expensive Car Sold in Singapore originally appeared on topspeed.com on Monday, 17 June 2013 18:00 EST. read more

Posted on 06.17.2013 17:08 by Sulthoni , Serafim Filed under: Suzuki | cruisers | 2013 | Motorcycles | Motorcycle Reviews | Suzuki Measuring 2410mm (94.9in) long and 870mm (34.3in) wide, the Suzuki Intruder M1500 is a massive motorcycle that demands respect from the moment you see it passing down the street.As far as design is concerned, the Suzuki Intruder M1500 features a muscular style with a few special touches that give it a custom feel. The low seat height and low centre of gravity, puts in full control of the motorcycle, while the drag-bike style bars enhance the sporty feel of the ride.At its heart lies a 1462cc, 4-stroke, 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled, OHC 54° V-Twin engine that sends its power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed transmission. For smoother downshifts the slipper clutch reduces the pressure on the clutch pack under hard deceleration.The engine is fed by a relatively big fuel tank with a capacity of 18 liters.The Suzuki Intruder M1500 can be yours for £9,450.

Posted on 06.17.2013 17:00 by Tom Burkart Filed under: Acura | sedan | Acura TSX | luxury cars | Cars | Car Reviews | Acura The TSX is one of Acura’s sportiest models with European suspension tunes keeping the front-drive sedan interesting to drive. It competes with low-spec Lexus IS models, base Audi A4s, the new Mercedes-Benz CLA250, as well as numerous mid-size cars, like the Hyundai Sonata Turbo.The big news for the model is that last year’s Special Edition model continues into 2013 packing a deeper front bumper, some tasteful side skirts and a new rear bumper that emphasizes the TSX’s dual exhaust pipes. The SE is one of the cheapest trims and is offered on the four-cylinder models only. Coming with either a six-speed manual or no-cost automatic transmission, the Special Edition also dresses up the interior with unique lighting, red stitching and some great-looking aluminum pedals.The TSX has been Acura’s cheapest model since its 2003 introduction, but the bottom rung is now occupied by the Civic-based ILX sedan. The TSX is not much larger inside than the ILX but packs more refined driving manners, better handling, and an optional V-6 that dramatically improves performance, but it comes with some drawbacks versus the high-revving four that powers most TSX’s.Refreshed in 2011, the TSX is looking very familiar and tired in standard trims, making the Special Edition more desirable than ever. The TSX’s primarily German competitors have all moved up a size and price class in the 10 years since the TSX debuted, soon to be replaced by future compact sedans from Audi and BMW.Click past the jump for the full review of the Acura TSX Special Edition.
