To all of our adrenaline loving fans, allow us to introduce you to the world’s most powerful personal watercraft (PWC), Kawasaki’s 310 horsepower Jet Ski Ultra 310R and Kawasaki’s Jet Ski Ultra 310LX, the perfect mix of power, handling and luxury.

With 310 horsepower from a supercharged inline four-cylinder engine, the Ultra 310R (MSRP $16,299) is the most powerful production PWC in history. The Ultra 310R’s Digital Fuel Injection-fed (DFI) 1,498cc engine is the reigning king of horsepower, and its crown is the high-tech Eaton TVS series supercharger. Along with Kawasaki’s Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) system, the supercharger gives the engine exhilarating yet linear power, and its race-derived hull design makes short work of carving precise turns in calm or rough water, exactly what hard core performance enthusiasts would expect from a Kawasaki sport Jet Ski.

Of course, it’s equally important that the Ultra 310R’s cockpit and rider accommodations match its high-performance engine and hull features, and they do. Front and center is a high-visibility instrument panel with a new all-LCD info screen design that’s not only futuristic but also easier to monitor than ever. Aided by a visor for easier viewing in sunny conditions, the highly legible LCD display boasts a new face design with a new fuel consumption function that can display gallons per hour or gallons per minute, a boost meter scale and riding-mode displays along with a range of other functions, including clock; time, trip and hour meter; digital or bar-graph tachometer; water and air temperature gauges; speedometer and max-speed functions. Keeping track of the Ultra 310R’s vital signs is a cinch.

The Ultra 301R’s deck design gives all riders plenty of legroom for ideal comfort, and its triangular-pattern deck material offers excellent grip for the feet. A reverse lever on the left side of the craft features an ergonomically ideal design for easy operation, and optimally curved mirrors offer a wide rear view.

Moving over to the Ultra 310LX (MSRP of $17,999), we find the same 310 horse power super charged inline four cylinder power plant, however matted to hull designed to transport three adult passengers into an exciting day out on the water like no other PWC.

The Ultra 310LX’s LXury seat is designed for the ultimate in rider and passenger comfort. Its scalloped and contoured two-tone saddle offers generously thick padding that’s extraordinarily luxurious. For 2014, the Jet Ski Ultra 310X LE features the industry’s first heat-resistant seat cover to help keep the rider and passengers cool on hot days. New passenger handrail positioning places the handrail in a higher, more natural ergonomic location to help reduce passenger fatigue, and the handrail is also reshaped for better holding power.

The Kawasaki engineers didn’t stop there. The Ultra 310LX features fuel capacity of 20.6 gallons and a deck designed to provide all the legroom needed for ideal comfort, and its unique deck goes a step beyond in the luxury department with Hydroturf® striped pattern deck matting that offers superior grip as well custom look. A reverse lever on the left side of the craft features is also ergonomically designed for easy operation.

And let’s not forget about Kawasaki’s new JETSOUND audio system simply takes the Ultra 310LX’s luxury to another level. With its 2 x 20 Watt-rated amplifier and pair high-quality 30-Watt speakers, the JETSOUND system is ready to rock. It’s practically a given that the JETSOUND would be iPhone and iPod compatible (the devices can be secured in the provided waterproof wet bag and stored in the glove box), but as an added feature it can also play music from a USB memory stick (up to 4 GB), which can be plugged into an adapter located inside a waterproof aluminum case in the glove box. Volume and song selection are easily controlled by an audio controller on the handlebar pad. The JETSOUND reconfirms the 310LX’s status as top of the pops in luxury watercraft.
