Previously limited to only 100 units, 350 units of the new car will be for sale after the last one went on sale four years ago.

At the back, the bumper is new and houses a four-tailpipe sports exhaust system and incorporates a diffuser.

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream).
