UTVUnderground and MadMedia let off-roader RJ Anderson go absolutely bonkers in a highly-modified 2017 Polaris RZR XP Turbo EPS UTV, taking on treacherous terrain and manmade ramps, culminating in a sideways ride around the WALL OF DEATH, and an epic backflip.

We recently spent a week behind the wheel of FIAT’s latest roadster – which simultaneously pays tribute to the classic 124 Spider and shares bones with the excellent ND MX-5 Miata. Find out what we thought of this Japanese-Italian love child in our full review on 95octane.

The Last Viper

The Last Viper

Pennzoil pays tribute to the end of an era – with some epic footage of Rhys Millen driving the 645hp Dodge Viper ACR, doing what it does best, firing flames from its exhaust pipes, smoking tires, going sideways, and even catching a little air. Fare thee well, Viper.

This unique four-wheeler is somewhere between a motorcycle and a sports car – packing a 250hp, 3.0-liter Ferrari V8 engine, a BMW M3 sequential gearbox, and big grippy tires, but weighing in at just over 1100 pounds. Basically, that means it’ll go fast. Real fast.

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

Because the 707hp Challenger Hellcat wasn’t enough, Dodge will offer their muscle car with an 840 hp supercharged V8, launching the beast from 0-to-60 in 2.3 seconds, running the 1/4-mile in 9.65 seconds, then driving home after popping wheelies at the drag strip.

A Day at the Track with Chevy

A Day at the Track with Chevy

We recently headed to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with Chevrolet for a day at their Find New Roads Experience. Along the way, we hit the agility course in the new Colorado ZR2, launched a Camaro ZL1, and did a bucket-list lap of the speedway in a Corvette Grand Sport.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

Jeep borrows a bit of thunder from its Dodge SRT cousins, packing a 707hp Hellcat supercharged 6.2L V8 engine under its hood, and big Brembo brakes. We can’t think of too many other vehicles that can go 0-to-60 in 3.5s, devour off road trails, and tow up to 7,200 lbs.

Driven: Ferrari 575 Superamerica

Driven: Ferrari 575 Superamerica

Beyond its awesome V12, what makes the Ferrari 575 Superamerica special is its rotating hardtop that lies flat with a flip of a switch, and electronically-controlled transparency to vary the light coming in. Our friends DriveWithDave show off this special car in action.

Toyota HiLux Tonka Concept

Combining the ruggedness of Toyota’s nearly indestructible HiLux pickup with the playfulness of Tonka toy trucks, this very special concept is ready to take on just about anything, with a 6″ lift, 35″ lug tires, a huge skid plate, LED trail lighting, and a tube frame in its bed for gear.

Lexus x Mark Levinson

Lexus x Mark Levinson

We went behind the scenes with Mark Levinson to learn about the audiophile grade sound systems they make for Lexus vehicles. There’s no way to convey how amazing they sound without listening in person, but read on to get a sense of just what goes into making these systems so good.
