1800 hp Buggy at Pismo Beach! Nelson Racing Engines
The sandbox for grown ups
What do you get when you combine a dune buggy with an 1,800 hp (1,342 kW / 1,825 PS) Nelson Racing Engine? A heck of a lot of fun.
Built for Bobby Alexander, this off-road racer isn’t lacking in power as it easily pulls wheelies thanks to a twin-turbo 7.0-liter V8.

Mercedes-Benz G350 BlueTEC
The G-Class is back, in right-hand drive…
For a car to have a 32-year production run is something of phenomenon. When it’s an SUV – a species under constant threat of downsizing or eradication at the hands of environmentally-minded politicians – that really is remarkable. So, having withstood the ravages of time, the fickle trends that wax and wane through the years and, in BlueTEC guise, neatly addressed the emissions issue, the G-Class has returned to the South African market … with its steering wheel on the correct side.
Trophy truck goes two-wheel drifting
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, Ballistic BJ Baldwin comes along in his trophy truck and tips it onto two wheels without a ramp.
Using pure momentum, BBJB skillfully gets the 6,000 pound (2,722 kg) pickup on its side but consider this – that suspension has as much travel as Buddha bungy jumping.
Thanks to the grassy surface, you will notice at 0:55 BJ even drifts the Baja racer while on two
Range Rover Sport – the Unstoppable Giant 4×4
An extraordinary 4×4 rental SUV You’ll probably feel like one of the Beckhams when you drive the Range Rover Sport. It’s (very) big and (very) powerful, and you’ll definitely be noticed! This 4×4 vehicle combines elegance and brute presence in a way that few vehicles have achieved in the past.
The Range Rover Sport will dominate whatever road you choose to put before it, and stylishly so. Our car-crazy holiday team has sourced excellent 4×4 rental car options like the upmarket Range Rover Sport, and all at rental rates that are better than you might expect.

In one of these, you can cruise around the most exclusive areas of Cape Town in undeniable style. But tar roads aren’t all this vehicle is capable of cruising… If you’re keen to venture off-road in the Range Rover Sport, go right ahead.
Unlike many luxury SUVs that can’t deal with much more than a pavement, the Rover has more than enough ground clearance to enable you to do a little off-road adventuring around Cape Town. With a supercharged 4.2-litre V8 engine growling away up front, you needn’t be worried about having enough power on tap. A huge 550Nm of torque means that this imposing SUV will devour any hill, anywhere, without skipping a beat. Sir Lowry Pass, here we come; Du Toit’s Kloof Pass, consider it done; Cederberg and Bushmanskloof, absolutely!
The interior has been immaculately designed, which is just as well, since you’re probably going to want to spend a significant amount of time in this car. Materials and finishes are top-notch, and all the dials and buttons are intuitive and logically laid out so that you can concentrate on enjoying the ride rather than wondering which button does what. Range Rover Sport Rentals in Cape Town are priced at R4000 per day, and for that fee you get free reign with an adventurous 4×4 that can race to 100km/h in 7.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 225km/h.

Weighing in at over 2 900kg, the Hummer H2 is a champion contender in the super-heavyweight category of SUVs, making its rivals seem midget-like in comparison. Probably one of the quickest ways to instantly feel like a super-VIP is to hire this massive Hummer H2 in Cape Town. Even before you climb in, the size of this beast standing before you will get your adrenalin pumping. Get in, fire it up, and prepare to rule the roads of Cape Town… whether tar or dirt. The Hummer H2 is not only about on-road presence, it’s also about off-road capability. After all, it does have a healthy military heritage behind it. Head to the Cederberg to find some 4×4 trails to put this beast to the test, or take a trip up the West Coast – a rugged section of South Africa that’s perfect territory for the Hummer H2 to explore. A 4×4 as big as this needs a big engine – and that’s certainly the case with the Hummer H2. A mighty 6-litre V8 is the source of power in this vehicle, and it generates 235kW of power and a massive 488Nm of torque, which makes this a 4×4 rental SUV that has the bite to match its bark. There’s nothing gentle about the Hummer H2, so if you’re thinking about what tracks to play on as you explore Cape Town in your rented Hummer H2 SUV, leave your panpipes CDs at home and rather bring along a Kanye West or Red Hot Chili Peppers CD, which would indeed be music to this massive 4×4’s ears! For lunch during your day with your hired Hummer H2, you could consider stopping off at Paranga in Camps Bay or Pepenero for a ’surf & turf’ – the adrenalin-rush of driving a car as meaty as this is certain to work up a mighty appetite.
