For sixty-two big ones, I'd be shopping for a Corvette! Why are all the fun toys always overpriced!?!
***** he's got a point. for 62 thousand you're going into BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes money. That's a big statement for something that doesn't have doors, a windscreen, or any type of things that these luxury cars offer. It seems like they will only appeal to the rich as most people would just buy something else for that money. If they could make these for 20k like the slingshot then it would be much more reasonable. Seeing as its a small thing with not much welding and equipment needed to produce, it should definitely be cheaper than a car. Sure its performance oriented but so is a dodge challenger and they only cost 30k. It just doesn't make sense other than greed that these things cost this much.
+Fred and Debra MacDonald, Government regulations!
+Fred and Debra MacDonald But what would turn more heads? Also you don't have that go-cart, open air feel in a corvette
Yes, you all have points well taken, and I'm retired and none of these options are in my budget. But if I did have this kind of money to blow on something, I would either get the Corvette, or a nicely restored 60's muscle car.
Fred and Debra MacDonald agreed
62k is insane. The zx14 is only 15k. That's valuing the vehicle at over 45k without the engine and drive train. 45k+ for the rolling chassis. My guess they are tripling their money on each one sold. probably more.
Chase Burns the trouble is, it's the certifying and homologation that costs all of the money.
They can build one for less than 30 grand. But they have to spend an awful lot of money on development test, crash testing, writing lots of vehicles off to make the government happy. And then once they've done that they have to make sure that the department of Transport are satisfied with all of the safety features for road use. Lots and lots of development that has to be paid for, so sadly that's what it comes down to.
And not just for the US government either. They've had to do that for all of the export government's that they hope to expose it to, which is probably cost them a couple of million. So in order that they can pay for the development, the manufacturing, and then a viable profitable company, with a profit on each vehicle, that's what they have to sell it forward to start off with.
You're paying for the development history, not the manufacturing future.
No.
😂@@druidofthefang
Jay Leno is probably the coolest gentleman TV host. Not talking too much, not "like, yeah..." gags, not an awkward moment. He just listen to the guests.
It's an old video but I just wanted to toss out a shout to the mic team that's casually picking up Jay's commentary at 65mph with wind.
im sorry did he say $62,000?!??! i spat my tea out!
I think I would buy one used and when it had the 1400 Kawasaki engine with more hp and a tad bit lighter.
Haha
i could buy 10 cilo cars for that
floyd harrison An have like 10 times less fun. good point. (NOT)
***** You could buy a zx14 or hayabusa for far less than half.
i JUST LOVE this show! I always look forward to Jay Leno's Garage and this episode really seals the deal for me bc i've loved the T-Rex since i was a kid :D I'd love to meet Jay one day!
Jay Leno Fan since first seen on Johnny Carson, no matter what he does it comes with true enthusiasm.
Jay describes his channel as " a driving experience show" not a car show but an all around driving experience. I like that. Jay loves all vehicles ( just like me). sure he likes some types more then others but all around he likes them all as long as they are true to the driving experience.
20K and I would think about buying one.
Yeah I’m trying to figure out why it’s $50k
Polaris Slingshot you can get for about $20k
This is built better
@@pablollega3368 there 74k now....... if you can't afford it don't be a b**** just say hey I'm a broke b****
Aptera is 25k now.
It's cool looking but it cost way too much money
I wish it was little bit higher off the ground. Speed humps means this thing has a shaved/dented bottom quite easily
I like the version with the doors because it creates a cabin-like look. It makes it look more like an exotic car than a motorcycle with seats.
Jay seems like a really down to earth guy, I wish him the best on his retirement!
no he is just good at it.
This thing looks like a blast to drive!
I saw these in a duPont Registry magazine in like 1998. They also had a hover skate board..that never caught on.
I wanted to see him get in and back out lol
I'd prefer to own a t-rex over a slingshot.
Hell yes
all day any day
slingshots are for middle aged women with fupas
Slingshot is a pure joke And Nice try polaris but canadians have you beaten everywhere (if price is not a problem).
Abandoned Exploration for a bargain of 70k
In my next life I want to come back as the J man so I can drive all the cool stuff !!!!
Me too, BB ---From an old farm kid and shade-tree guy, of 91. Much thanks to Jay for just this.
I wonder if a anti-roll bar would help keep all 3 wheels on the ground. From the video, it does look like the feet would be in the way of where you would typically place the bar.
also being manufactured in Quebec . . not sure why they don't have a full aeroshell and doors at least as an option
love how they didn't show getting in lol
I'd like to see Jay Leno's garage address the Elio! ???
About time this got to Jay's Garage! :)
i never get tired of seeing one on the road....and they are made about 30-35mins from my house!
I had one of these for about a week. A buddy who I used to do some work for when I was a dealer tech asked if I could store this beast in my garage for a week or so. Needless to say, the whole neighborhood had a pretty good week. I would wake up at around 5 am to get it out when traffic was at a minimum. Worth the money? Hell no! It's not worth half of the cost, but it was a great time for sure.
I dont understand why it has to be so expensive. Lotus can deliver an actual CAR for $20k less.
I would kill to own such a vehicle, after a turbo at 250-300 hp this thing would blow the doors off of just about anything. But with such a high entry level it will take 30 years for them to depreciate.
BMW name is expensive to work with it .....
Low volume.... expensive start up costs and testing....
Polaris is delivering a similar machine for 1/3 the cost. And it's got an automotive engine.
There is now zero excuses.
Polaris is a huge company.... it probably recycles parts/engineering designs from other bikes and off road vehicles.
ChargedTTq
The polaris u talk about is way slower sir .
I just bought one today. It's INSANE!
Boy it would be great to be able to rent one of these for a couple of weeks to take your sweetie on a nice vacation,cause I'll sure never be able to afford one.
I don't know if you read these Jay, but that is a beautiful garage.
*How cool is this thing! After being hit by a drunk driver a few years back while riding my Harley Davidson my wife forbade me to ever buy another motorcycle again... Well, I was pretty messed-up, spent 8 months recovering in the hospital, so, I saw her point. But this isn't really a proper motorcycle, I do believe I've found a loophole in the 'No Motorcycle' edict! lol!*
A coworker drives this. It has a decent rollcage all around, but since it's so low to the ground, you may want a traffic alert flag tied to the frame to alert other drivers of your vehicle.
there are so many other vehicles I would get for $62,000 instead of this, a nice 1960s Corvette-- a 1955 hotrod Chevy-- maybe even a 1957 Buick Roadmaster with lots of money left for gas =o]
Expand those thoughts to slightly more expensive-to-you options and get a real driver's car for your money, that will cost to maintain and you can sell for what you paid. American muscle is still cheap, and will be for a while yet. If you like to drive on public roads look at older Japanese or European. Really collectable stuff is being flogged in North America now. Carve it up in a Lotus or BMW 3 series, and you won't go back. Datsun 300ZX. Cheap!
@@angusdavies6143 , yea but I think the 3 series sedans are UGLY as hell. I'd much rather have a 2 series, 4 series, or 8 series coupe. MUCH better looking.
I'm glad some companies are thinking out of the box. I'm pretty obsessed with the reverse trike idea. hopefully a company will come out with a practical version that just gets people with modest incomes around boring suburbia who are tired of driving a honda civic to work
I like what see, it looks like a lot of fun. It would be nice to hear from Jay or his staff about what they think about the AR-1 that I designed 33 years ago and have brought it back for for it to be seen again at many events. Like the LA & NY Auto shows.
Small problem. What do you do once it rains?
$60K!?
Next.
So buy a Corolla.
+okleydokley or an actual sports car/bike.
get a Polaris slingshot
get an Elio.
you do a lot of spinning..
$62K!? Thats nuts! This is rich guy bait. There are plenty of $60k vehicles that will blow this thing out of the water in every performance category. You buy this to be 'different', not for performance.
+Hercules Rockefeller what car other cars "blow" this thing out of the water?
My Leg Look up $60k cars and see what the options are. V8 Atoms, Lotus Elise's, Corvettes are all under this price..
The Polaris Slingshot and other similar 3 wheeled vehicles cost around $20k. The rex is slightly faster than these vehicles, but for triple the price, you'd expect much more.
+Hercules Rockefeller duh
Yowwee, $62,000 Why does Jay show these overpriced vehicles that .1% of guys will buy?
Euro Chop Depends on which v8 you are talking about. There was a Palatov V8 Atom in oregon for around $50k (with the 2.8 396hp Hartley, not the 3.0 500hp)..
Ive seen used atoms with b-16's as low as $15k
Yes sir!! 62k? That's a nice lil stack... would love to hear a review on the new polaris sling shot Jay , I'm pretty close to trading my bike in on one
They are pricey, but very cool cars. More well put together than I thought. The reverse trike is a great design.
JAY, you need to try out a Scorpion P6. That is the ultimate reverse trike imo.
Wow, $62k that's a lot. Jay as a fellow Massachusetts guy I have a lot of respect for you but, I think I would have paid to see you climb in&out of that bad motor scooter, lol.
sadly over priced too. If ford can make a shelby mustang, for under $60k, this should cost much less
A mustang is much much higher production than a t-rex, morgon 3 wheeler, ect. Unique parts cost a lot more when your only making a handful of them, rather than a couple hundred thousand like with a mustang.
Exactly!!!
why don't they mass produce these like the slingshot... such a cool motorcycle, unlike the butt ugly slingshot. shame to the makers for making this only for the rich..
Economics of scale, brohammer.
it's when i see stuff like this that im proud of where im from, vive le quebec !!!
The VP of Campagna actually knows ALOT. Not just a guy that knows numbers like projected quarterly sales. He actually knows about the product that he sells and he speaks with passion. Watch a few of Jays other videos and you will see manufacture reps that almost embarrass the company by knowing very little about their product that Jay reviews (cough cough Porsche GT3 cough cough)
OVERPRICED way OVERPRICED
BUILD IT FOR HALF THE PRICE AND YOU MAY HAVE SOMETHING THAT WILL SELL.
How bout one eighth of the price.. Would like to see Jay Leno address the Elio. Seems to be the autocycle arrival that is going to work.
Janusha YES, you are literally one of the most relatable people!
Can you prove they don't sell? The company has been in business for many, many years. You don't stay in business long if you are not turning a profit.
It is so enjoyable to hear they talking.
I would organize a race series for this car. I have been a fan since day 1
he lost me @ 62
lol $62,000....
62K is a horrific price point for that. I seen these years ago at SEMA and thought they said the price was going to be in the 20s. I'd buy a new vette 100 times before I purchased a toy like the TRex for 62K. Like everything about it but no way they need to sell them for that much.
Its about time you did a video about the beautiful t-rex.
$62K? Go for the Porsche Cayman S instead.
if u are trying to find a logical reason to get one u are doing it wrong!
I can remember seeing these for sale in the Dupont Registry back in 2002!
What fun!!! Thanks again, Jay!
$60k for chain drive. No thanks.
Right, RT
You can use belt or shaft depending on doaner bike
Nice little go kart. Add a turbo and some N.O.S on that and i bet it would straighten your wife's hair...
I saw one of these on the highway over 10 years ago. Neat looking. BTW, I’m from Montreal.
I would want the Kawasaki 1400cc engine since my last (and best) motorcycle was the Concours 14.
Time for Jay to test drive a Polaris Slingshot, and the Slingshot is $20K
Yeah but they're ugly as sin.
Gary West Yes! I am seriously considering buying a slingshot as something fun to drive around in. Much, much more affordable at 20k for a weekend toy. 60 grand for something like this is kind of out of reach for most people
Rusty Shackleford We love ours! I personally think the T-Rex is weird looking.
Samual Iam I highly disagree.
jayrod2 You can disagree to the cows come home. They're still ugly.
For $62K, waiting for the Elio will cost under $7K!!
This is more of a toy. The Elio is more practical being fully enclosed and having a small trunk...but then again it only has 3 cyl 55hp
wongthong7 sorry but the Elio will never ever come out. It is a scam for sure.
Are these shipped as right hand drive too?
Have you ever looked at elio motors' 3-wheeled car coming out next year? Maybe you can get one in your shop.
Price aside, I don't think you can have much more fun with a motor vehicle. It's like driving a go kart on heavy steroids.
its amazing but not to buy, just for rent 12 hours one time in life its just enough
Going on a long trip would be fun in one of these.
Looks like fun. Much better than the other tri wheel car. Sorta a clever go kart technology.
I bought a used one 3 years ago for $41,000. Turns heads where
ever I go.
Bruce Frausto you actually bought this crap???? Where did you loose your brain? If you ever had one?
how was the maintenance and reliability?
What's going on with Jay's hair? lol Looks like he woke up, jumped out of bed and started shooting this vid.
He probably did! LOL
Yeah, it's "not your thing" but, you sure seem stuck on it. Like I said, get back in your cell punk. Your comments are weak.
Still weak.
Are we done here? Or do you want to keep trying to sound funny? Think your come backs over a little more. Otherwise, you will STILL never be able to compete with me.
Lol I guess we both are officially idiots going back and forth like this. My wife is laughing at both of us now.
Michel is a good spokesperson for TRex. His enthusiasm is very evident.
kuladeeluxe and very knowledgeable too. Answered every question Jay asked with confidence and perspective. I also liked that Jay gave a serious review of the car while driving. Only thing lacking was criticism but maybe was not necessary. Wish this company good luck.
rpf1's look good on anything
BMW V6? ..............V6? From what I may ask! Haha
BMW Motorrad K1600GT - 1.6l L6
***** WTF?!?! Really, how the heck! But that means it's longer and not compact like the V6 layout. Must be pretty damn small then! Crazy
62 grand lmao I could buy a used ferrari and a new bike for that price
I liked the one with the front 2 wheel drive, but I wondered why no top. Only 29 grand
Built in my hometown!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Gotta love Jay's "I just got out of bed" hair style
brihosk And clothing style. I’ve never seen him wear a different set of clothes on these shows!😁
$62k?... should be $10k not much of a car. Rather buy a vette at that price
It's not a car. It's an "autocycle".
And . . .
If you can afford a brand new corvette, odds are you can afford to buy this too. You don't buy one or the other. You buy both.
Way overpriced.
Great video Jay! Thanks.
I seen one of these in Gatlingburg tenn for $12k but the motor wasn’t stock it had some Honda bike engine on it and looked pretty rough.
62,000 such a waste...
these are overpriced and obsolete already. never was a big, but it's over now
I think if I were gonna build one of these, I'd do it out of a new V-Max. Not just for the sound but for the torque factor as well.
But does it brake as good as it stops???
Say it like 'Kebec', not 'Kwabec'. Salyut!
Ça va
Im from New Brunswick right by Quebec and you wouldn't believe how many of these you see on the road already lol
The 'Busa powered one is SO much fun to drive.
To Jay: do you hace a Fiberfab "Scarab"? Very few were every built.
Saw one of these at a Carolina Panthers tailgate party.
Slick as hell.
Hey Jay, why do you have so much trouble staying between the lines?
LOL - Jay looks like he just got out of bed after taking a long nap!
I said the same thing! Haha
Those tires are the best I'd ever owned only lasted about 15k before the inside tread ( toe in) was down to steel but the BFG g-force line of tires r incredible got sticky super fast and could launch a 400hp 3200lb car with hardly a chirp when warm
I love this car
That makes sense. Thanks.
What is that clanking sound when Leno shifts?
i live right next to the factory and seeing them almost everyday in the summer, i never tought they werent us legal
I like how theres a choice of engines
for this price get the ariel atom... It will give you the visceral feel you want and the feel of a motocycle as well for almost the same money they are asking for this..
Hey Leno, we love your vids bud and all the cars you show us but honestly I think most of us are tired of new cars, electric, hybrid stuff. We are here to see what we cant today, your vast collection of antique racers, muscle cars, track cars, road cars etc. I mean those are what made cars great, not all of this stuff today where most cars are soulless. I mean we freak out when a car actually turns out semi decent looking today, Challenger/Corvette/F458 etc but underneath they just dont compare
8:12 Thank goodness I'm not the only one who recognizes and likes different kinds of accelerator pedals...
For a trike-car this thing looks and sounds fucking awesome! Nicely DONE! :D
Hey Jay! Check out the Elio 3-wheeler! Would love to hear your thoughts and a video on it. :)
Come back to television..............we need you!
why not come out of can? the can am spyder does also
