Chase Exotic Supercars on this Insane Police Car Drifting Ride-Along

Most red-blooded men love a good adrenaline rush. Skydiving, wing walking, swimming with crocodiles, and fast cars all undoubtedly fill that need. If the latter is more your speed — if you like to drive very expensive cars very fast — Exotics Racing offers a world-first racing experience unlike any other.

From Miami to California, there’s no shortage of places to take a supercar out for a spin. However, the aptly named Supercar Drifting Ride-Along Experience dials the “ordinary” supercar driving experience up to 11. At Exotics Racing’s legit Las Vegas race track, passengers strap into a track-ready Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat jacked up like a police cruiser from hell. The 707-horsepower, V8-powered beast is capable of pulling 3.4-second 0-60 runs and a top speed north of 200 miles per hour. By the numbers, it’s an obscenely fast ride with the motto “To protect and to swerve.”

As the name implies, however, the experience isn’t just about speed. Behind the wheel is Exotics Racing’s resident professional Rudy Ibanez — a stunt driver whose credits include The Fast and The Furious. With full-on sirens blaring, Ibanez pilots the Hellcat around the desert track “chasing” other supercars and drifting into corners. It’s one thing to drive a quarter-million-dollar Ferrari 488, a Lamborghini Huracan, or a Porsche 991 GT3 on a professional racetrack. It’s another matter entirely to chase those same supercars in your own real-life version of Grand Theft Auto. Know that helmets and safety harnesses are included, but adult diapers are not.

Pricing for the Supercar Drifting Ride-Along Experience starts at $99 per passenger for two laps. Because the Hellcat is a sedan with a full-sized backseat, a total of three passengers can ride-along. If you’d rather the thrill of being chased like a criminal a la GTA, Exotics Racing offers dual-lap supercar ride-alongs also starting at $99 per person.

If one-of-a-kind racing experiences are your thing, head to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The legendary track is home to the Indy Racing Experience where even enthusiasts with no hardcore driving skills can strap into a legit IndyCar racecar to circle the track at up to 130 miles per hour.

MINI introduces Spike MINI digital assistant with 2025 MINI Countryman Electric via MSG Sphere in Las Vegas

There's something about cars and the Sphere in Las Vegas. Media coverage of the 2023 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix in November nearly always included the Sphere. The Sphere was located inside the 3.8-mile F1 race track, which made it impossible to ignore the visual background on the 366-foot high and 516-foot wide screen. BMW Group's MINI USA division put the undeniable attention-commanding aspect of the Sphere to introduce the 2025 MINI  Countryman Electric, the largest member of the next-generation MINI family.

From November 27 to December 2, MINI USA's campaign with the Sphere filled the Las Vegas skyline with still and animated images of the 2025 MINI Countryman Electric SUV. Pereira O'Dell, the independent creative agency that designed the oversized advertisement, also featured MINI's new intelligent personal assistant, Spike, in the Sphere's captivating visuals.

Despite news to the contrary regarding EVs, there is a reason that the Toyota Tacoma has been one of the undisputed kings of the automotive universe for the better part of two decades. Essentially, the Goldilocks of trucks, the Tacoma is not the diminutive half-ute we’ve seen in now-extinct vehicles such as the Subaru Baja, Chevy S10, or first-generation Ford Ranger. But, Toyota’s pint-sized pickup was also far from the huge F350 and Silverado 3500s that call into question the issues of overcompensation for anyone driving one that also isn’t towing a boat or happens to own a landscaping company that requires you to haul a hardware store and crew around with you. No, the Tacoma has always been… just right. And now, for 2024, ‘just right’ just got even better.

Context is everything in life. Winning a 100-meter dash counts for a bit more in the Olympics than at your company's intramural league tryouts. Being the best singer at dive bar karaoke is nice, but it doesn't compare equally with Taylor Swift standing on stage in front of 50,000 screaming fans.
