Joe Rogan is an American actor, comedian, UFC commentator, and host of one of the most popular podcasts in the world – The Joe Rogan Experience. Among the many other hobbies and professions Joe has pursued, one that proves to be a common conversation starter is his vast car collection, which features American and European classics, as well as modern sportscars and hand-built speedsters.
From off-road to racetrack, Joe’s vehicle collection checks each box on a car lover’s list, leaving no road unconquered and no trail unchallenged. But of the special items in his collection, which ones stand out and why?
Paying homage to the early days of motorsports and automotive breakthroughs, while incorporating modern tech and creature comforts make Joe’s collection of unique rides a comprehensive history of how far the automotive industry has come.
His extensive collection also showcases the talent of some of the top custom car builders, garages, and teams in the world. With his imagination and limitations seemingly endless, his acute attraction to custom vehicles opens the door for some of the most extreme resto-mods and handcrafted projects ever observed in popular media. Here are the top ten craziest cars in Joe Rogan’s collection.
We've gathered data and information for this list about some of Joe Rogan's most incredible cars from multiple sources including official automaker press releases from automakers, and custom shops.
10 Tesla Model S P100D
Lauded as the third-fastest production car ever made, the Tesla Model S P100D is a prime example of Joe's undeniable need for speed. Boasting a 0-60 MPH of only 2.5 seconds, the Model S P100D competes with the Porsche 918 Spyder in terms of acceleration. The Model S P100D also features "Ludicrous" mode, which initiates an essentially overcharged launch control function, allowing the powerful dual electric motors to launch the all-electric sedan at eye-watering speed.
9 2008 Sharkwerks Porsche 997 911 GT3 RS
There is a quickly identifiable trend that can be observed in Joe Rogan's car collection, which is speed, but another more intriguing reoccurrence is the numerous custom car shops he employs either to perform custom work for him or to simply shop their inventory of hand-built vehicles.
A great example to start with would be the 2008 Porsche 997 911 GT3 RS by Shark Werks. Shark Werks is a California-based custom car garage that specializes in upgrading Porsches with top-of-the-line racing tech and aftermarket parts. Joe, being a Fan of Porsches, had to have one of his own. Enter his 500-horsepower track-focused 997 911 GT3 RS, hand-tuned by the experts at Shark Werks' garage.
The upgraded 3.9-liter flat-six is not turbocharged, however, the motorsport tech and analog feel of the vehicle make it an exceptional example of Shark Werks' ability to deliver a piece of art with no compromises on performance, refinement, or driver experience.

Being a track-focused model, the RS America also features weight-saving features including removal of rear seats, power steering, and cruise control.
