Awesome Rides

HillsideComposites‘ carbon fiber coasters are the perfect gift for gearheads and petrolheads. Each one features an engraved, ink-filled tachometer graphic, and is made from a 1/4″ thick hunk of real carbon fiber, backed with soft cork to protect tabletops.

Zero Motorcycles‘ new bike has a 6.5KWh battery – half the capacity of its DS model, making it 94lb lighter and $3,000 cheaper than its big brother. The smaller battery also means extra storage compartments. It has 37hp, 70lbft of torque, and lasts up to 67mi per charge.

A very special limited edition of what is already a very special sports car. Porsche is making just 500 of this model, which packs a turbocharged flat-6 with 607 hp, wrapped in a Golden Yellow metallic shell, with carbon fiber aero, black tailpipes, and other exclusive upgrades.

The new Aston Martin DB11 changes everything for the British luxury automaker. Our friends at DriveWithDave got the 600 hp Aston on the road for a fast drive, and ranks it up there with the Ferrari FF and the Porsche Panamera.

Deus Ex Machina Customs stripped a 1974 Honda Super Cub C70 down to its most essential parts, paired it with a 1995 Honda Astra engine then made a basket, exhaust, seats and a surfboard rack to create a sweet, lightweight beach bike.

For Pebble Beach 2017, Gooding & Company has a pair of amazing classic Mercedes on the block. This 300SL Gullwing and Roadster have been owned by one family, are unrestored, and fully driveable. The Gullwing is the only one ever factory painted in British Racing Green.

After you wolf down your requisite dose of fried dough and sugar today, sit back and enjoy some donuts of the automotive variety, courtesy of pro driver RJ Anderson, as he spins circles on his BFGoodrich® Tires. As Anderson proves, the best donuts are the ones you make yourself.

DriveWithDave spent an afternoon with the Maserati Sebring, a car that made Jeremy Clarkson’s all time top 100 list.  Luxurious, stylish, only 348 were built, and the Sebring has a direct connection with such historic names as Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio.

An electric skateboard augmented by artificial intelligence and sensors. It won’t move if it’s locked via its app or if you’re standing incorrectly on it. It can also suggest more efficient routes, regulate its speed to prevent falls and much more.

BMW is set to bring back its 8 Series coupe in 2018, and is showing off a stunning, curvaceous concept which offers a glimpse at what to expect. While it nods to the classic 850CSi, it’s a 21st century Bimmer on every other level. We look forward to finding out its full specs.

Jaguar’s sport sedan gets a major dose of power, with a 5.0L supercharged V8 making 592 hp, with increased airflow to feed that hungry engine, lots of aero upgrades, and more goodies that we don’t know about yet. Just 300 will be made, and full specs drop on 6/28/17.

Shelby’s latest truck starts out as a Ford F-150, but is made oh-so-special with the addition of a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, packing 750 horsepower, plus sporty ground effects, 22″ chrome wheels, and of course, racing stripes, because they make everything faster.

One of the cooler LEGO Technic kits out there is the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It’s simply stunning. But that didn’t stop the guys from c’t Magazine from taking theirs and smashing it into a wall, with the help of the German automotive safety group ADAC and their crash test facility.

If your car has lost some of its get up and go since it rolled off the showroom floor, you owe it to yourself to buy a bottle of this amazing restorative product from STP. We recently started using STP Ultra 5-in-1 Fuel System Cleaner in our cars, and it really works wonders.

The famed Stratos DNA can be had for a fraction of the price in the Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato. Renowned design house Zagato streamlined the tame Fulvia, shaping it into a sporty road machine. Drive with Dave checks out this quirky and rarely seen Italian coupe.

Daymak’s electric go-kart is so fast and expensive you’d be afraid to strap in. The C5 Blast’s standard version goes from 0 to 60mph in 3.9s, while the Ultimate does the same in an insane 1.5s, thanks to 12 ducted fans that offset the vehicle’s weight.

We spent the day with the fine folks from Nashville’s Lane Motor Museum checking out some of the weird, wonderful, and downright goofy microcars which they’ll be showing off in their new exhibit Microcar Mania, opening on 5/25/17. Check out more on 95octane.

Exomotive’s Exocet body kit lets you turn a ’90s Mazda Miata into a budget Atom. Choose from a casual, sport or a racing kit with a full roll cage and steel floors. It also has optional wing, windshield and fender mounting kits.

This has got to be one of the most awesome moving sculptures we’ve seen. It uses thousands of aluminum pistons to replicate a moving car and other images at the Hyundai Motorstudio in Goyang, Korea. The installation was designed by Easywith for Atelier Brückner.

Austin Healeys are affordable, yet collectible British sports cars. The Austin Healey 3000, race prepped, was said to give Ferrari 250 SWB drivers fits, with great road holding ability and gobs of torque. Drive With Dave enjoyed an afternoon with the 6 cylinder “Big Healey”.

It’s something we’ve been waiting for ever since the reveal of the Ford GT back in 2015: a hands-on driving review of the American supercar. Tim Stevens from Roadshow was one of the lucky few to get some wheel time, and it looks like a beast on the track. But is it as good on the road?

We’re in love with the Moraine Blue paint on this special edition of Land Rover’s sleek SUV. It also gets unique 19″ dark gloss wheels, a grey panoramic roof, and a sporty body kit. Inside, there are dark grey accents, and Ebony leather seats with Light Lunar stitching.

Our friends at DriveWithDave spent an afternoon with the new Lotus Evora 400, the fastest Lotus road car ever.  A supercharged 3.5 liter V6 packs 400 horses, and the car sprints from 0-60 in 4.1 seconds with a 186 mph top end. Plus, it’s got an incredible exhaust note.
