1000bhp AWD Burnout Monster: the NASROD | American Tuned

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wXs-_MhMA4

American Tuned is back and this time Rob Dahm meets Jessie Jewart – Texas-based builder of the NASROD, a hot-rod inspired by NASCAR racecars and assembled with some "redneck math." The NASROD has an LS motor, pushrod suspension and the capacity to put its copious, naturally aspirated power down to all four wheels to do a four-wheel burnout. That means double the burnouts and double the fun. Probably. #AmericanTuned Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

FIRST DRIVE: Tamiya Wild One Max – 38bhp + 500kg = FUN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfPqngebdw0

Who hasn’t imagined getting behind the wheel of their favourite r/c car? The Wild One Max is that dream come true. It’s a road legal, 38bhp, 48V electric buggy that weighs 500kg might just be the most unashamedly fun car of 2023. And it has provenance. TWOM is the work of The Little Car Company, an ingenious startup that’s spent the past three years creating meticulously engineered 75 per cent scale versions of significant historic cars, such as the Aston Martin DB5, Bugatti T35 and Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. Now the LCC has reversed its shrink ray, secured the approval of a presumably bemused but delighted Tamiya, and scaled up the Wild One. In the flesh, the Max is simple but irresistible. It uses a welded steel spaceframe chassis, with its cockpit now sufficiently widened so there’s room for two full-size adults. It’ll do almost 60mph all-out, while range is about 125 miles on the road, nudging 65 off-road depending on the degree of tomfoolery. But the cost of all that tomfoolery doesn’t come cheap. Order one of the 100 launch editions and you’ll be forking out £35k before VAT. But who cares when you get to live out your childhood fantasy?

Stock Jeep Wrangler vs America’s scariest off-road trail!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btO_lHZhXoM

The idea was simple. Take a stock Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to a little town in Utah called Moab, explain why it’s brilliant, indulge in some light off-roading and head home with our no claims bonus intact. Except we found ourselves scaling a trail called Cliffhanger, one of the most unforgiving tracks in the world where the drops are so long “you could read a book on the way down”. If you don’t like the sound of fingernails on a blackboard, the noise of Jeep meeting rock isn’t much better. ALSO IN EPISODE FOUR: we meet the Ruffian Mustang and builder Chris Ashton, creator of hand-built machines that fuse the American dream with distinct Mad Max vibes, like the one you see here. But they're not all-show-and-no-go. See, being a keen autocrosser, Chris wanted his Mustang to be capable against the clock. What's resulted is this 7.0-litre beast, now making 625bhp and around 560ft lb of torque, but with the handling and balance to match all of that power. Naturally, Jethro had to have a go… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

First Look: Toyota Land Cruiser | New Defender Rival

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1QSOs0AcUg

Ever see a new car and think, “Oh, yeah, they’re gonna sell a billion of these". Meet the new Toyota Land Cruiser – a rugged midsize SUV with rough-and-tumble intentions that's coming to Europe and America – yay! The Land Cruiser certainly looks the business, appearing to have been designed only using right angles. The standard 18-inch wheels and knobby tires give this thing real presence, and the optional 20-inch alloys look great, too. The uptick in the body sides and contrasting white roof are clutch styling choices, and you know, this thing gives off major retro FJ Cruiser vibes. Nice work. But what else do you need to know? Join TG's Tom Ford for a full deep-dive into Toyota's new, retro-modern Land Cruiser. Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:

Singer and Tuthill’s ULTIMATE off-road 911 driven!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEYtQVxEOiE

Imagine funds weren’t an issue and you wanted to build the ultimate off-road 911 – who would you call first? Well, if you want it to look exquisite and be ready for anything up to and including the Dakar Rally, you want it designed by Singer and engineered by Tuthill Porsche. That’s what the ACS is, and that's what Jack Rix is here to drive. ALSO IN EPISODE THREE: Jethro asks a very important question: “Where did all the manuals go?” Because the rise of the EV and the proliferation of the auto has seen manuals all but disappear from UK shores. America, on the other hand, is positively rolling in them. So we grabbed two of the most exciting manuals on sale in the US that we don’t get back in Blighty, and set about proving once and for all that manual beats auto… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:
