Awesome Rides

Drive a Mustang, Raptor or Cobra on the course with these officially-licensed carts from Caddyshack. They even have automotive style upholstery and working headlights. Mention The Awesomer and get free custom seat embroidery.

Jay Leno’s Garage chats with Ronin Motorworks about the Ronin 47, the shop’s limited edition take on the Buell 1125 sportbike. Its front-mounted radiator is… unique, but that’s part of its appeal. Test ride at 13:05.

This custom version of Audi’s TT 2+2 has been blessed with an electrically-enhanced turbocharging system which turns its small 2.5L 5-banger into a 600hp monster that does 0-to-60 in 3.6 secs, and tops out at 192mph. Dat wing.

Howe & Howe made a custom version of its Ripsaw ATV for Mad Max: Fury Road. The vehicle will be made to look like a (very, very, very) heavily modified Chrysler Valiant Charger known as the Peacemaker.

The folks at Kia set us up with their brand new, road trip worthy 2016 Sorento SUV, and sent us to see the Chicago Bulls take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA playoffs. Read all about the adventures we had on 95Octane.

The fastest street-legal Viper yet is powered by a hand-built 645hp 8-liter V10, rocking a massive rear wing, race suspension, and carbon ceramic brakes. This beast is sure to eat pavement like nobody’s business.

Peugeot’s concept car contribution to the the PS3 exclusive Gran Turismo 6. The Peugeot Vision Gran Turismo is only 41″ high and weighs just 875kg (1929lb). Its 875hp V6 lets it go from 0 to 62mph in 1.73s. Too bad it doesn’t exist.

Jay Leno shows off his unrestored 1936 Harley-Davidson EL “Knucklehead”. It was practically a concept motorcycle, but it’s still mechanical enough that he made it work after about 30 years of neglect with just a bit of cleaning.

A peek at the supercar rides of James Bond and his nemesis Mr. Hinx in the upcoming movie SPECTRE. James Bond’s Aston Martin DB10 will engage in a chase scene in the streets of Rome against Mr. Hinx’s Jaguar C-X75.

Nissan’s NISMO division pits its ridiculously treaded-out JUKE RS against a group of husky dogs to see who can handle the extreme weather in Lapland best. We’re not sure who won the race, but we feel like winners just for watching.

The HexHog is an electric all-terrain wheelchair. Its flexible chassis keeps its wheels in contact with even the roughest ground. Its adjustable seat lets riders get on without assistance. Top speed is 8.5mph and range is 12mi.

Blending luxury with power and off-road ability thanks to its terrain response system, the 2015 Range Rover Sport is as good as SUVs get. Start with a 340hp supercharged V6 or go all out with the V8 for up to 550hp. Full review on 95octane.

BMW teamed up with two of Japan’s best bike shops to customize the new K 1600 GTL luxury tourer. Kenji Nagai’s Ken’s Factory Special is a clean and curvy chopper, while Keiji Kawakita’s Juggernaut is a futuristic combat sport bike.

Despite its tremendous torque, it’s not exactly easy to make a Tesla Model S go sideways, Japanese pro drifter Nobuteru Taniguchi proves that it’s at least sort of possible as he burns rubber in the electric executive sedan.

Ural’s new motorcycle is built for outdoor adventures. The Gear Up has a 41hp 749cc boxer engine, 2WD (rear & sidecar wheels) mode for more traction, a spotlight, a sidecar bumper, a luggage rack and a spare tire.

The Excellence Lounge Console concept for the Volvo XC90 gets rid of the front passenger seat to provide extra leg room and other amenities to the rear passenger. The footrest also has a table, a 17″ monitor, a storage box and more.

Gearhead Mitch Medford is committing what sounds like a treacherous act: turning ’68 Mustangs into electric cars. But his company’s Zombie 222 produces at least 800hp and 1800lb.ft. of torque and does 0-60mph in 2.4s.

McLaren rounds out the “low end” of its line. With a tweaked version of their carbon fiber chassis, its designed to offer greater everyday comfort, while still packing an impressive 540hp twin turbo V8, and a 0-to-62 time of 3.5 secs.

A trio of drivers meet along a road and decide to play a little “ring around the rosie” with their tuners. We’re duly impressed that none of the three cars made contact, but then again, we only got to see 15 seconds of the festivities.

Watch rally driver Juha Kankkunen take a highly-modded Valtra tractor for a breakneck ride on the snow, along the way setting a world record for the fastest tractor ever. It’s not exactly the best handling vehicle, but it goes fast on the straights.

As if the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V’s 640hp factory config wasn’t enough, Hennessey will be amping up the power plant with 750hp, 800hp, or a twin-turbo 1000hp mod they claim will push the car to a top speed near 240mph. Sign us up.
