Supercar rental
KLCC

KLCC is where most people picture the car before they picture the drive, and that is fine — a matte Huracán under the Twin Towers is a legitimate reason to rent one. What we would rather you knew is that the golden window here is between 06:00 and 08:00 on a Sunday. Jalan Ampang, Jalan P. Ramlee and the loop around the park are empty, the light is low and sideways, and a car with a screaming atmospheric engine sounds twice as good bouncing off the towers with nobody around to complain about it.

The traffic reality on a weekday is the opposite. Between 17:30 and 19:30 the Jalan Ampang and Jalan Tun Razak junctions are stop-start for forty minutes at a stretch, which is the single worst environment for a dual-clutch gearbox. Every DCT in our fleet — the Huracán's seven-speed, the GT3's PDK, the GT-R's six-speed — handles creep by slipping the clutch pack, and slipping it in 34°C ambient for half an hour is how you cook one. Leave it in auto, leave a two-car gap, and let the car roll instead of holding it on the throttle.

Delivery to KLCC hotels is straightforward if we know the property. The larger hotels on Jalan Pinang and Jalan Sultan Ismail will let us hand over on the driveway with a bell captain present; the serviced residences behind the park usually want the car parked in the visitor bay and the handover done there. Parking inside Suria KLCC is possible in a wide car but the ramp helixes are tight and the columns are unforgiving — for anything wider than 1.95m we recommend the Avenue K side instead.
