The Power Of Perodua Axia by Ultra Racing
The Power Of Perodua Axia by Ultra RacingThis is a commercial ads for Ultra Racing, the whole video shooting was done by professional driver within safe compound, please do not attempt to try this on public road.
Posted by Ultra Racing News / Events on Sunday, 24 January 2016
Ultra Racing, Malaysia’s home-grown manufacturer in chassis handling components, has recently released this video on its official Facebook page. The video, titled “The Power of Perodua Axia by Ultra Racing,” is aimed at promoting its complete “vehicle safety bar” package for the Perodua Axia, where you get to see the compact car being driven quite vigorously.
The video starts out with a young man being reminded by his mother to come back for dinner. With a quick glance at his wristwatch, the man gets into his Axia and makes the quick dash to get to dinner on time, presumably.
What comes next is a series of drifts, reverse flicks and handbrake turns (with a glimpse of the professional driver’s footwork) to exhibit Ultra Racing’s products in action. In the end, our protagonist successfully makes it to dinner with his mother, followed by the message, “no matter how busy you are, think about your love one,” followed by product close-ups and a safety disclaimer.
Now, we’re not sure if you should be driving in such a manner regardless of situation. As our authorities have always mentioned, “biar lambat tapi selamat.” We’re guessing the video is meant to illustrate extreme situations where Ultra Racing products can be beneficial to the driver to help him maintain control of the vehicle. What do you think?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Safety should always come first!
Good, do all this and this will encourage the kutus and Mat Rempit to do all this in Kesas every night.
Already Axia got no VSC and ABS, now for sure, they will skid and die.
Don’t forget, Axia and Myvi are official cars of Mat Rempit who have accidently made their girlfriend pregnant. To prove to the in-laws they are responsible, they will buy either Axia or Myvi to show they want to become family man.
But truth is, their racing Mat Rempit genes are still there.
Perodua is still selling cars with no ABS and ESC to Malaysians. Malaysians are cheated and compromised of the lives. But we will say, syukurlah negara masih aman dan damai
Daihatsu is a good car. But only in overseas. In Malaysia, UMW has been cheating Malaysians with poor safety cars. In overseas, all Daihatsu come with VSC an about 6 to 10 airbags.
Now Daihatsu has become one with Toyot, UMW can still cheat Malaysians more.
In Malaysia, because of the fact that UMW is GLC and Government owned, UMW can do anything. In Malaysia, UMW is known as Al Capone or Mafia.
They strip the Perodua to basic level and sell you the Perodua, which, in global standards are highly dangerous.
In Malaysia for example, even top of the range Camry costing now RM160k has only 2 airbags and no VSC. The global Camry, which only cost US$22k, comes with 10 bags, VSC and about 20 other safety features taken out from UMW’s version of Toyota.
Why does UMW do this? Simple. They want to reap more profits at the expense of your life. How can we stop this? We can’t. UMW is the Government. So, as you know, in Malaysia, you cannot lawan Government. They are mafia
Nope, Daihatsu still dont have that kind of safety overseas.
crash test prove it.
Reason – lightweight.
After the Vios drifting ads, now this? Please don”t give Malaysian ricers any more ‘good’ ideas. Have pity on the roadside trees and lampposts. I
Now newer cars equipped with ESP,ASR,Traction control apart from ABS/EBD/BA. SO no need to take out corners by applying braking and drifting it.
You can do it swiftly sound, safe with the above safety features on newer cars and come out safely.
Toyota please bucks up and don’t take out life for granted.
You can buy and put all kinds of braces into your car to make it as stiff as a race car. But do you have the driving skill of a race car driver to utilise the benefits? Even the driver in this ad is a professional, not some random aspiring road ricer driving a Axia.
The good news it that you can do this on the open road with very little effort on your part! Since there’s no ESC on Axia (what I don’t even have to turn ESC off!!), you can do this intentionally or unintentionally on the highway and sometimes with deadly consequence. Fun huh Perodua!!! Are you not entertained!!
IRONIC!
“think about your love one” … so does driving in that manner reflect your love to them?
Stop it UMW. Enough!
This is an advert by Ultra Racing. Why are you shouting at UMW???
yup true , safety is first .
after installing these ultra racing bars . i do find my car is more firm and improved my handling .
First vios.. now axia.. what message are the UMW folks trying to convey to the public?
That is a video from Ultra Racing la, not UMW. Nak troll pun agak-agak la.
What a good safety video on how to drive safely on public roads. Oh wait……..
This is not a safety related product… more like a performance enhancement.
A bunch of metal bars won’t make a milo tin any safer. It may improve structural rigidity and handling, but by interfering with the original manufacturer’s design, it could in fact make the car even more unsafe. Those metal bars could penetrate into the passenger compartment in the event of a crash. Unless if these accessories have been approved by Perodua or the Toyota Group, owners should install at their their own risk.
However, a metal roll-cage is proven to improve safety in any car. As it is internally fitted, it acts as a strong, last line of defence for the occupants. You can retrofit a roll-cage to any car, even old cars from the 60s and 70s without worry. It is widely done in rallying today.
These bars are different from roll-cage material. “Death-proof” roll-cage cars use chromoly bars that have an extremely high UTS rating. Plain-jane 4130 CrMo has a UTS rating of almost 800MPa, almost like those of non heat-treated boron steel, and let’s not forget that these tubes typically have wall thickness of at least 2mm. Back in the days when cars were made with 300-500MPa high-strength steel, adding a chromoly rollcage was certainly a big boost. These days, cars’ passenger cells have steel members that have UTS values of 900MPa and above.
Ultra Racing bars are made of mild steel, they’re not even high-strength steel (defined as steel that have UTS of 300MPa and above). Mild steel usually have UTS ratings of around 180-200MPa, which is weaker than even the steel used for modern cars’ crumple zones. Moreover, they also have a very low yield strength, which allows them to be deformed and stay deformed without snapping, e.g. yield strength of <100MPa vs. UTS of 200MPa. A hard but brittle ultra high strength steel component would have a yield strength that's close to the UTS, e.g. yield strength of 700MPa vs. UTS of 800MPa.
Therefore, these Ultra Racing bars are good for bracing the chassis with an effect similar to additional gussets at the angled joints, but they're not strong enough to penetrate the passenger cell. In the event of a collision, they will deform as well, but like the rest of the crumple zone structure, their deformation also serves to dissipate the impact energy.
For old cars and cars that do not make extensive use of ultra high strength steels, Ultra Racing bars will help. For cars that use boron steel and advanced high strength steels, adding these bars may be superfluous.
For once, I don’t agree with Aero on the latter part after mentioning the 1st sentence. haha
Great explanation DongkeyKong.
Good info. Learned something here. Thanks.
Yeah.. kinda agree with you. Older larger cars could benefit handling wise but an axia has too little mass to cause any major structural deformation.
Ultra Racing is promoting people to powerslide on public roads? Just because late for CNY dinner, driver gets reckless.
Our menteri already advise us, leave early next time.
stupid ad with the wrong message.
Banyak la axia yang akan berguling2 kat jalan raya nanti.. Nak ppower slide punya pasal. Hahah
Poisoning youger generations
Drift in this car?
Not a chance unless it is rally certified by FIA standards.
is not a drift for god sake, more like handbrake slide…
syukurlah negara masih aman dan damai (walaupun jalanraya xselamat)
Ultra Racing management…please go back to primary school school yah. All of you are clearly uneducated.
Hahaha…taufu make drift??? Told u already, P2 project is sending ppl to coffin
To be fair,i do agreed the video might easily misleading. But that’s not the message intended by UR. It is just an advertisement about UR product thats mainly to reduce body roll in the event of emergency turn etc, to reduce flip rolling chances to your vehicle, thats why they do called it safety bar. And obviously UR never promote that kind of driving behavior, which they had mentioned it was carried by professional driver in a controlled environment.
i have tried those bars , and on two of my cars they are prone to crack less than a year of usage…they do make a difference though , but make sure u buy them in packages , not just one single bar n u think ur car has a Pransing Horse on the hood ..
but i dont agree this is a safety thing , its just a betterment for the car generally…as some bros mentioned above , those bars wont make a fragile milo ting chassis into a tank…
Yeah, “think about your loved one, drive like a maniac.”
Stupid advert thought up by stupid people. Worst of all, Paultan is indirectly giving it a free publicity.
We at paultan.org certainly do not condone dangerous driving in any way. Our stance on the matter is clearly written in the story.
Shooting the messenger?
Bash UR fair la, but paultan.org is just doing coverage on car scene.
Never mind, hopefully paultan.org crew not butthurt. Can take this as a pointer to improve, that u guys need to be more critical of your stand. With the wealth of knowledge you guys have, educate readers to become courteous and safe drivers.
I find this a little funny though.
There are reasons why cars like these are set up quite numb and wobbly. To discourage these sort of driving malarky. Notice the use of stock tyres…which is good. BUT….
Someone that have fitted these “performance chassis parts” will likely also have sticky performance tyres.
Narrow track, tall, light vehicle, sticky tyres.
Ever seen one of these sticky tyred, big ARB fitted car fall over itself in a corner? Oh yeah. It happens.
Kawan-kawan…. Take it positively… It is a good product that increase more confident in controlling your car… :) peace…
First we have vios with stupid drifting stunt. Now we have axia drift stunt. Now don’t be surprised more and more vios and axia masuk longkang thinking drifting is cool.
