Ducati 1199 Panigale & Ducati Centre launched !

There was I, in Ducati's Centre and Ducati 1199 Panigale launching event nearby Naza PJ Automall. It was the first time I cover a superbike event (and also writing about superbike), so here it goes!

It was a nicely decorated event, love the chandeliers and roses on each of the table!

First up was Naza Group's Joint Executive Chairman, Datuk SM Faisal to give his speech:

Here's Mr. Mirko Bordiga, CEO of Ducati Asia Pacific giving his speech:

While this is YB Dato' Mukhriz bin Tun Dr. Mahathir:

After each of the VIP gave their speech, they moved to the Ducati Centre for the ribbon cutting ceremony.

There are some facilities such as gym, lounge, cafe (Dome), merchandize square (below) & training centre located within the 15,000ft centre itself. There is also an after-sales centre which has 8-bays.

Some of the Ducati displayed in the showroom. Vroom!

However, the main character of the day was the newly launched Ducati 1199 Panigale! Priced between RM160,888 and RM209,999, the 1199 Panigale looks amazingly attractive and masculine. See how much the VIPs enjoyed the Panigale!

The Panigale weighs only 164kg but has 195bhp at 10500rpm and 132Nm of torque at 9000rpm! That's almost equivalent to a car's 2.0litre engine power output! With all that power comes with great responsibility great safety features such as ABS, Ducati Traction Control and race-derived Engine Brake Control to help you to control the beast (and the beast within you)!

There was also a Ducati Diavel in the showroom which I found has a lot of road presence. By the way, the girl in blue proved that female can have interest in superbikes too!

Twin, monster exhaust!

Check out some of the press photo of the red hot 1199 Panigale:

Which Porsche Are You?

Are you intimidated by a Porsche Cayenne if you are travelling on the fast lane of a highway and suddenly, a Cayenne comes out of nowhere and getting nearer and nearer in your rear view mirror? I certainly does! Couldn't agree more that you'll automatically move to the left lane when such car with great road presence and sharp looking front end are approaching you from the back! Therefore, Cayenne has become my favourite model in Porsche's line-up because it has stunning design, good performance and also excellent offroad ability!



Well, I'll cut to the chase. If you've read my previous post on Naza, you'll know that Naza sells high quality cars at lower price and also provides good after-sales service. This time around, Naza is having a promotion on all Porsche models this weekend! The models include:

Porsche 911 GT2
Porsche 911 Carrera 2S
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Porsche 911 Turbo
Porsche 928SA
Porsche Boxster
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Porsche Panamera S
Porsche Panamera 4S


Venue: Naza Auto Mall, PJ
Date: 18th & 19th February 2012

In conjunction with this promotion, Naza World is organising a Facebook Share Contest where Naza World Facebook fans will need to share & complete a slogan on that particular post by clicking ‘Share’ button.

Lion Dance @ Naza World, PJ !!!

I once worked in a warehouse where it belongs to a renowned child product manufacturer. It's linked together by a few super-size shoplots. However, walking and storing items were made tough due to the dark and filled with pillars and walls environment. Naza World uses similar concept, but it's a long hall instead of combining few lots. It is made possible for people to have a walkthrough easily, where the place is airy, with minimum pillars and lots of sunlight coming into the hall. Taking a glance on some of the most expensive and upmarket cars on the planet will be an enjoyable experience.

Helen, Isaac and yours truly!

In conjunction with Chinese New Year, Naza World invited the public to visit Naza World Automall PJ for lion dance! The lion dance troop was the champion in 2010 and 2011 World Lion Dance Competiton, so it's definitely not some ordinary lion dance we are taking about here! So me, Isaac and his wife, Janice paid Naza World a visit!



The lion dance did noy fail the public's expection. Great rounds of applause were heard throughout the performance. I recorded a part of the performance too!

After the lion dance performance, the public was invited for a quick refreshment, well of course I can't resist to take a glimpse of the car available in Naza World! I found some rare cars such as:

Fiat 500! Didn't know it's in Malaysia already!

Euro Honda Civic Hatchback!

Other than that, luxury cars are also available, for instance:

Jaguar XJ L, to chauffer the top companies' CEO!

Mercedes SLR, first time seeing this legend!

Clockwise: Jaguar XK, BMW Z4, Toyota Alphard (there were many Vellfire too), Toyota Estima. By the way, Naza World was having a promotion for Toyota Estima and Wish on that day!

Clockwise: Nissan GT-R, Porsche, BMW X6, Porsche again!

To our surprise, Isaac and I were interviewed by a reporter from Bernama! *First time appearing in TV news!!!*


Hope Naza will have more events like this because it will bring more exposure to the public!
