THIS is the 1993 Porsche 962. I found this car at Champion Porsche here in Pompano Beach, FL, which has one of the most insane collections of Porsche street cars and race cars you might find outside of Stuttgart. This particular 962 has been sitting in place for 15 years and has just 1 mile on the odometer! It’s one of 6 ever made, and it’s street legal. Today I’m going to go over the quirks and features of this incredibly rare Porsche. Then I’m to take it on a leisurely ride and give it a Doug score. One of the most interesting quirks about this Porsche 962 is this button on the dashboard. It changes the engine mapping and increases power from a “mere” 550hp to eight-hundred-and-fifty horsepower. If you’ve ever been driving around town in your Porsche and thinking, Gee this car could really use another 300hp, well Porsche has that covered for you with this button.
And for more on my thoughts on the Porsche 962, go to the link at autotrader.com/oversteer where I have compiled a list of the rarest Porsches of all time.
No matter what this car is worth Jay could afford to repair and/or replace it many times over. I’d let him drive anything I’ve ever owned too. He never goes too too nuts with other people’s equipment anyway.
So many negative comments. Give the guy credit he's the one who found the car in the first place. The guy has a 1 mile car and he's actually letting Jay put miles on it. Would most Ferrari guys do that? No
The guy is kooky. I've got to go see where he came from, if its family money, or is he a silicon valley kid or something. The jokes about his jacket have been outstanding. I thought Jay taking about the two seats being close together for the center of gravity needs of the car, and a combined weight of 400lbs was a riot. If those two weight less than 500lbs I'd be astonished, lol
@@shovington67 He's got to be a finance nerd. I seriously doubt it's family money, because he definitely does not have that 'I've been rich my whole life' vibe. Still, he seems like a really nice guy. Very humble and obviously happy to be sharing his car with Jay.
Wasn’t he in charge of the recommissioning? I imagine that position comes with choices for which he though he was being complimented. Maybe he was. Jay knows more than almost all of us about the car.
Vern Schuppan grew up in my hometown (Whyalla South Australia). I was taught in Sunday School by his brother and my friend's mother used to race him in go-karts (and beat him occasionally - so she claims). He's a bit of legend there!
Simon Hosking I live in Whyalla (now), but also grew up in Mt Barker where Vern had a big house and spent a fair bit of time (Dad used to drink with him in a local pub) in the 80’, he was a legend anywhere he went. Not sure if he still has his place there now.
I live in Adelaide and Vern came in a few weeks ago looking to get some work done on his Ferrari, excellent guy, very humble and polite, can't say enough good stuff about him, the 962 is gorgeous
Then who was I hanging out with all these years in Florida? He always assuredly told me he was Vern! He designs spark plugs in his mom’s guest room, right?
One of the holy grails when it comes to cars if you are from that era. 86' myself. This is right up there with the F50, MC12, CLK GTR maybe even higher. I love competition cars. But this is and was always something special. It has something very elegant about it that is hard to describe.
I really liked this episode. The owner of the car seemed like such a down to earth guy that really appreciates the car. Helluv nice of him to let Jay put a few miles on it. A great moment when Jay asks if the car is for sale!! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing that piece of Porsche history with us
So much jealous commenting! Cudos to this guy he is a fine caretaker of this work of art who obviously has a ton of pride and worked/spent a ton to get it where it is today. Any true enthusiast would have nothing negative to say about him or his car. Thank you sir for not hiding it away and allowing Mr Leno to showcase this rare piece of history on his channel! Seeing it drive was the icing on the cake. Cheers 🥂
In my opinion, that has got to be the most beautiful hypercar ever. It just screams fast sitting still and black is such a classic color. Incredible automotive art.
Someone might compliment your shoes, you will say thank you, although you didn't build them. They're complimenting your choice. Same reason this guy thanks Jay all the time. It's politeness.
I made a small contribution to the production of this car. The red reflective insert at the rear of the car, 962CR, I engraved it! We engraved several, so i assume we did all 6, though at the time we knew very little about the car.
I watched Alain de Cadenet demonstrate one of these on Victory by design about 20 years ago and always thought it was just about the ultimate street legal race car. Thanks to the owner for allowing such a truly beautiful piece of automotive history be shown and driven for public enjoyment.
cars like this and the mclaren f1 were designed function over form, which makes the form fit perfectly. They don't draw some weird angels and decide to put a car under it. They wrap the body around the car. so much better
Derek Moore its because of the new ford expedition from galpin. He got galpin to make a fully customizable truck for filming. They actually showed it off in the LA auto show last year. . The galpin boys did it again with building such a great filming rig. #GALPINFORD
Beautiful, beautiful car. I love the 962 and never heard of these 6 versions of the 962 before. Thanks for showcasing a great car. Lots of great info for us who like the mundane details where others would be yelling "drive it and shut up". I didn't even want you to drive it. Just starting it would have been enough. The body work looks fantastic in jet black...really sinister and fitting of such a car. I always thought the F40's looked best in black too. Certain cars pull off the all black body. This car, Maserati MC-12, F40, McLaren P1 and a few others are just fantastic in all black body work. Thanks again for the lesson on this special 962. Greatly appreciated.👍
neverendingmods Better in black? PUHleeze! This car reminds me solid black(& white to a degree) on curvy cars like this w/intricate design details makes it very tough to even SEE them. I can assure black is NOT the ideal color for THIS car! I actually caught the entire loading process of a silver 962 CR on video at the close of the '92 Daytona 24 Hrs. Silver isn't even my color, but the absolutely breathtaking shape of the 962CR was loud & clear. This black example you frankly can't hardly see a damn thing. I got the sense it was a very special car & shot accordingly, but had NO idea it would ultimately be so rare. It was pre-HD days, but shot w/very good Hi8 camera & is now converted digital. Clearly they were very careful as it lasts well over 5 min. & meanwhile I shot all the design nuances of it as it vanished into its "lair". And yes it smoked just like this one! These cars are meant to run near wide open 24 hrs, & suspect like the 917 oil is a crucial part of cylinder cooling which may explain this. Need to put on UA-cam one day for other motorheads to enjoy - what a special car!
This guy is great, he is like the museum curator for a art piece that he owns. He is in no way obligated to be that knowledgeable or share his joy and passion with people but he does. He is a proper car guy.
Yeah well...the Testarossa road car (not the '50s racer car) was started - and therefore most popular with teenagers - in '84 , and the Countach in '74. With this '93 Porsche being 10-20 years younger respectively, its really no comparison. And the people who had Countach posters on the wall as teenagers sure weren't teenagers any more when this came out. On the other hand...consider the design of most cars on the road in the early '70s...then look at the Countach...and you'll see why it was so popular. Sporty, aerodynamic-looking cars were becoming more common by the '90s, so while this is a very nice design, it didn't make such a grand splash on the public consciousness as the Countach did - even if the Countach wasn't really all that fast or handle all that well.
Nothing against Testarossa, but this car uses the chassis of a 962 Porsche which was the evolution of the Porsche 956 that started first time in 1982 at le mans and it won between 1982 and 1987 six times Le Mans. In 1983 with team Vern Schuppan, Al Holbert and Hurley Haywood. The Porsche works team started in 1982 with Jochen Mass, Jacky Ickx, Derek Bell and Jean Louis Schlesser. So when Testarossa came as a production sportscar. This prototype racing had won already 3 Le Mans races and two world championships in sportscar Racing as well for driver and for the marque Porsche. And it did win again in 1994. By the way if I can believe in Brian Long these CR Cars were produced in 1991.
Wow this is such a beautiful and magnificent car. The lines and curves are so smooth and as a porsche it brings such a classy design to otherwise over-exaggerated hyper cars of its type. Absolutely impeccable vehicle.
@@barfuss2007 I didnt believe you at first but wow. You're completely right. 0-60 in 2.8s 253 mph top speed. Absolutely insane, demolishes any supercar on the market right now
@@R9naldo the manurfacturing qualitiy of all german build cars was much better in the 90ties than today. Result of globalization and shareholder value... All parts had the highest quality you can get.
Beautiful car, respect to the owner for taking it out on the track.. I was worried we wouldnt see any drive footage when he said 1 mile on the odometer
Jay you have one of the best jobs on the planet. I really appreciate the way you have studied and learned almost everything there is to know about automobiles, you have amazing knowledge and love for automobiles, I love your enthusiasm. Jay Leno’s Garage is one of the best shows ever !!!!!
Truly, the golden fleece of all supercars. I’m astonished that this guy was able to even acquire this car. I think this brings new meeting to the words, ultra rare.
Exactly! You know what he was angling towards lol ”I want to buy this.” I can’t blame him, it’s an awesome looking car! I think the dude should’ve let Jay drive it though. That dude drove it like a grandma.
I worked over the road from Vern Schuppan's workshop the early 90's and remember him taking this thing down the pub for lunch. The whole building used to shake when they were warming the engines for the race cars. Epic job.
@X X whoever owns the car does as they wish with the car. As a counter argument to yours I think whoever owns a car they never use is a moron. It was nothing but a commodity then. I'm not suggesting it should be a daily driver but look at all the smoke coming out of it because it never drives. I completely agree that it should meet a lead foot driver, that's it's purpose!
Why do you think many people go crazy after low mile cars? So they can drive them themselves. You cant take your cars to the afterlife. If there even is an afterlife. Who's the loser now?
X X but this isn’t a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, these are reaaaaallllyyyyy rare, If I had the money, I wouldn’t mind buying a car like this even it had like 20000 miles or something
Remember. There are only 6 of these cars. This one being the rarest. I don't think anyone would be worried about a little mileage. This car was almost 3 mil I'm the 90s. This needs at least 100 mile rd trip
@@dodecahedron1 Yeah Dauer was full bonkers. It was much more capable than Schuppan. Because there was no need for Le Mans level of downforce street version Dauer is faster than race car variant. Power was also increased because no limitations and rules. Ofcourse this is no way negative toward Schuppan, Dauer was in another league.
you can't be serious? no wait...you are serious? .... you do realize old rubber will loose its elasticity and began to dry-rot? going faster than Jay did the tire will probably disintegrate and cause massive damaged to a irreplaceable car.
What an amazing ride. Thanks for sharing. The miles went up the smiles went up and the value also went up. It is far more desirable than it was just sitting there as art.......
Verne Schuppan used to live down the road from me as a kid, I never really understood who he was, he was just the cool guy with the cool cars hahahahaha
@@ominous-omnipresent-they I was thinking that the right bank may have some piston rings problems. I know its running on race fuel, but only the right side exhaust was blowing smoke.
962 CR refers to the based car (962C indicating Group C compliant 962 rather than IMSA version). R stands for Road. The car was supposed to be marketed worldwide, they even plan to crash test it to make it US compliant. But the money runs out and he went broke.
OMG i love Porsche all my life, been even in house where Ferdinand was born... And this black angel art brings tears to my eyes... Thank you guys that i can see this :)
Not a big car guy, but still know a few. Never seen or heard of this before. Very special. Just hang it on the wall and enjoy the piece of art from time to time.
I get that the owner is working on resale value, and having Jay Leno drive it adds to that, but I really did want to see the car open up. A car that isn't driven is just an expensive shopping cart.
It could be digging a hole in the ground and it would still be higher than my self esteem. But i make up for it with self confidence. I'm confident that I'm completely worthless.
Some say he didn't have any of that luscious chest hair or the goatee before he bought this car. If he drives it anymore his balls will be so hairy they'll resemble a member of Def Lepard circa 1985
What's with all the comments about chest hair? Everybody's so damn fragile these days. I guess everybody must adhere to the same fashion and grooming trend or suffer shame from nitwits.
maybe because there was nothing to show, these cars don't really have anything inside, just a seat a shifter and a steering wheel, the racing models would have the ECUs there, but really they've always been empty, kept to be entirely functional
read more assume less back in the days when VWs used to have dynamos instead of alternators some of the drag racers used to swap the circuit so that it acted like an electric motor. Anything to shave some time off the 1/4 mile!
This car is ridiculously valuable already. What this does is establish provenance for potential future buyers i.e., make the care more readily sellable, not necessarily more valuable.
"You can feel the Porsche connection" while almost setting on top of each other lmao. Awesome car, awesome guy. So glad we got to see it driving and not just a static sry piece
Vu Huynh I don’t know if even Jay could afford this. Given the insane price appreciation of all things Porsche in the past few years, you have to think what is probably the single rarest and most desirable Porsche of the past 30-40 years would break the 8-digit mark. Jay’s cars are great, but most seem to cost a few hundred thousand, not $10 million.
@Flying Higher007 Lol right? It's hilariously amusing to know that most people don't realize just how ballin' Jay Leno is. Just because he always wears the same denim outfit and is the realest dude on the planet, that doesn't mean that he's not ridiculously wealthy. He's spent unheard of amounts restoring, modifying, and improving cars that he owns. Just the Stanley Steamer alone would have been too much for most people to afford. Nothing is ever too much when cars and racing are life.

Randy Porter you fixed everything. 👏
He's on a closed road.
Closed airfield.
I think the real reason he let Jay drive it is so he can claim Jay drove it and add 20% to it's value.
How about this. The guy has a ton of money. Rather than using it to help people, he spends millions on cars. Perhaps that could rub people the wrong way.

In 1983 with team Vern Schuppan, Al Holbert and Hurley Haywood. The Porsche works team started in 1982 with Jochen Mass, Jacky Ickx, Derek Bell and Jean Louis Schlesser. So when Testarossa came as a production sportscar. This prototype racing had won already 3 Le Mans races and two world championships in sportscar Racing as well for driver and for the marque Porsche. And it did win again in 1994. By the way if I can believe in Brian Long these CR Cars were produced in 1991.
And they still telling you no. You can never have one.
Okay I'll keep my Countach.
@@aussiebloke609 yes!!
Jay Leno, a fascinating person, someone who has forgotten more than most people know
As an Australian, I find it hard to believe it does not have a tow ball
or roo bar
He should convert it into a ute with a truck bed in back.
Anyone notice, it doesn't have a roof-rack, mate this car is so un-Australain, strewth
Bung bar
No worries mate
Wow this is such a beautiful and magnificent car. The lines and curves are so smooth and as a porsche it brings such a classy design to otherwise over-exaggerated hyper cars of its type. Absolutely impeccable vehicle.
this car was build between 1992-94... but its better than any supercar of today
@@barfuss2007 I didnt believe you at first but wow. You're completely right.
0-60 in 2.8s
253 mph top speed.
Absolutely insane, demolishes any supercar on the market right now
@@R9naldo
the manurfacturing qualitiy of all german build cars was much better in the 90ties than today. Result of globalization and shareholder value... All parts had the highest quality you can get.
@@barfuss2007 True, sad times for the car industry right now with just cheaper built cars and EVs taking over soon
Beautiful car, respect to the owner for taking it out on the track.. I was worried we wouldnt see any drive footage when he said 1 mile on the odometer
That wasn't a track. That was the public roads. The one's people are on. Texting when they should be paying attention to what is around them.
Burbank Airport. 🤔 Jay keeps his cars in hangers. He gets free security that way.
Jay you have one of the best jobs on the planet. I really appreciate the way you have studied and learned almost everything there is to know about automobiles, you have amazing knowledge and love for automobiles, I love your enthusiasm. Jay Leno’s Garage is one of the best shows ever !!!!!
Not to mention line of sight for signals from satellites...
Sux that he doesn't actually read your text tho
The owner is super chill, nice
That thing is literally astonishingly beautiful.
Michael Whittman the body shape compared with such an incredibly striking black color has me breathless
Yes but it sounds like it's powered by a blender.
Sometimes l think Jay has said “F1 Maclaren”
more than any human ever
Probably. I'd also like to offer: "Fitted luggage," and "hilarious," to the list.
Palidicio Vermingagurainia he bumps the value of his F1 Maclaren $1k every time he says this
If you had one you would talk about it too.
@@jezuzfreek777 I'd also say it's name the right way round too
Nicely done
I can’t keep looking at his little brothers coat! It’s about to tear
He's a millionaire obviously who put on some lbs. He needs to throw some money in the wardrobe department.
Hahaha! IKR
Truly, the golden fleece of all supercars. I’m astonished that this guy was able to even acquire this car. I think this brings new meeting to the words, ultra rare.
I didn’t notice any comments about the exhaust at the end of the video, oil? Or is that normal for this car?
Roger McFarland yeah i noticed whiteish smoke... thought it was odd myself.
A Porsche doing Porsche things
You would run rich during break in to assist in lubrication
Burning oil probably needs a complete overhaul from sitting no elasticity left in the Rings and/or bad valve seals
Jimmy King said they were all replaced in the video
Best channel on UA-cam..hell best channel period!!!
I live in Adelaide, Australia (former F1 host city). The home town of Vern Schuppan. What an amazing guy, car and story! Thanks for showcasing it Jay.
Get that guy a jacket that fits
Slim fit only looks good on people who are actually slim.
He is a car salesman for the super rich. They all dress ridiculously basically. Probably spend a few grand on the whole outfit too. Weird crowd.
Big guy in a tiny jacket ! Channelling the Tommy Boy movie 😂
Get him a car that fits
Everyone's complaining about the jacket and all I can think is whoa that chest hair. You need a machete to cut that.
One never see proper racecars like this without liveries outside videogames, such a stunning look for the real thing.
That car is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you, Mr Ivanhoe, for sharing this with Jay and all of us! AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!
Jay: "Is this thing for sale by any chance?"
LMFAO!
By next year he'll have it in his garage.
Exactly! You know what he was angling towards lol ”I want to buy this.” I can’t blame him, it’s an awesome looking car! I think the dude should’ve let Jay drive it though. That dude drove it like a grandma.
@@killerbs420 Jay was the one driving it
Jay drove it
@@killerbs420 Jay was driving, and you don't drive a 30 year old car with 1 mile on it any other way.
Tom's Tools true lol
Mr Leno.....thank for the comment "it's a hybrid, it uses gas n' we get on the road it uses even more gas" that has got me smiling THANK YOU again.
I worked over the road from Vern Schuppan's workshop the early 90's and remember him taking this thing down the pub for lunch. The whole building used to shake when they were warming the engines for the race cars. Epic job.
The factory was in High Wycombe
Incredibly sad that it’s never been driven in anger.
@X X whoever owns the car does as they wish with the car.
As a counter argument to yours I think whoever owns a car they never use is a moron. It was nothing but a commodity then.
I'm not suggesting it should be a daily driver but look at all the smoke coming out of it because it never drives.
I completely agree that it should meet a lead foot driver, that's it's purpose!
Why do you think many people go crazy after low mile cars? So they can drive them themselves. You cant take your cars to the afterlife. If there even is an afterlife. Who's the loser now?
X X but this isn’t a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, these are reaaaaallllyyyyy rare, If I had the money, I wouldn’t mind buying a car like this even it had like 20000 miles or something
@X X
X Xyoure half right. half. not all the way. high mileage f40s go for millions kid. just not your uncles f355 haha..
Remember. There are only 6 of these cars. This one being the rarest. I don't think anyone would be worried about a little mileage. This car was almost 3 mil I'm the 90s. This needs at least 100 mile rd trip
A multimillion dollar car!
jay: is this thing for sale by any chance?
Jay didnt need 1sec to think! 😂
I think Jay said "Can you break a 4 million dollar bill?"
Really cool that he let jay drive it rather than hiding it away, and a really knowledgeable owner too respect
OH. MY. GOD. Best car ever! Road legal version of the car that held the record on the Nürburgring for over 30 years.
The Nurburgring record was actually set by a 956.
@@dodecahedron1 Yeah Dauer was full bonkers. It was much more capable than Schuppan. Because there was no need for Le Mans level of downforce street version Dauer is faster than race car variant. Power was also increased because no limitations and rules. Ofcourse this is no way negative toward Schuppan, Dauer was in another league.
6 962 CR were made. 1 is lost due to fire. 3 cars remained in Japan, 1 in UK and this example in US.
The Wakz yea what a waste of a car
i'd like to see you going faster than Jay did on 30 year old tires.
you can't be serious? no wait...you are serious? .... you do realize old rubber will loose its elasticity and began to dry-rot? going faster than Jay did the tire will probably disintegrate and cause massive damaged to a irreplaceable car.
did you even watch the video??? 22:27
FrankW1029 sort of. I was getting ready this morning while it played. Just caught that. Yea this guy is an idiot.
What an amazing ride. Thanks for sharing. The miles went up the smiles went up and the value also went up. It is far more desirable than it was just sitting there as art.......
Verne Schuppan used to live down the road from me as a kid, I never really understood who he was, he was just the cool guy with the cool cars hahahahaha
One of the best racing driver to come from Australia.
That's if the Aussies aren't trying to claim Denny Hulme, Chris Amon, Bruce McLaren, Scott Dixon Paul Radisich, Jim Richards Greg Murphy etc etc etc!
So what were the cool cars he had living in a suburban neighborhood?
tripasnipa lol #triggered
#lol
Omg!!! THEY DIDN'T FLOOR IT!? AAAAHHHHHHH. THE PAIN!
I was waiting, if anybody were to do it it was going to be a leno
It needs to be broken in, it's like a virgin ya know 🙄
The engine is too new. Must be broken in first.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they I was thinking that the right bank may have some piston rings problems. I know its running on race fuel, but only the right side exhaust was blowing smoke.
Didn't you hear Jay say "I bet it's on the original tyres" guy says yep!
I saw this car at Daytona. It is beautiful beyond words.
One of the most beautiful cars ever made
I'll never see a can of sardines without thinking about you guys in that car❗
Big respect Matthew for letting Jay drive such an amazing car with only 1 mile on it!
962 CR refers to the based car (962C indicating Group C compliant 962 rather than IMSA version). R stands for Road. The car was supposed to be marketed worldwide, they even plan to crash test it to make it US compliant. But the money runs out and he went broke.
quoting wikipedia and other sites wont make you smart
@@RoverWaters Try find that in Wikipedia. It seems I have a fan that keeps commenting me. Good for you.
OMG i love Porsche all my life, been even in house where Ferdinand was born... And this black angel art brings tears to my eyes... Thank you guys that i can see this :)
Man they should make more of these. Absolutely a work of art.
That paint!!!
'built in 1993, the same year this jacket was tailored for me ...'
DEAD
LMAO
What a daddy's money shithead
Ouch! Good guest though. Very knowledgeable.
I just noticed his sleeves lmao
That is the coolest car I have ever seen. Ever. It's like an F40 but exaggerated and racey. Incredible.
This man has a beard on his chest
Sounds like you're turned on by it lol.Sorry man I was just fooling with you.
70's carpet🤣🤣🤣
Dayvid No soy boy there.
No doubt you have personal experience.
Hairy like a garment.
Never knew this existed... Great, great episode.
Not a big car guy, but still know a few. Never seen or heard of this before. Very special. Just hang it on the wall and enjoy the piece of art from time to time.
I get that the owner is working on resale value, and having Jay Leno drive it adds to that, but I really did want to see the car open up. A car that isn't driven is just an expensive shopping cart.
I know eh? Jay didn't go above 30 mph (or even shift) the entire time!
Engine needs another rebuild probably and to be properly broken in.
Value of this car just doubled to $4 million.
I've watched many of these now and some of Jay's knowledge is starting to rub off on me, which is nothing less than delightful
Jay never disappoints me on Sunday
That car is lower than my self esteem
Lmao
Close
that sucks
It could be digging a hole in the ground and it would still be higher than my self esteem. But i make up for it with self confidence. I'm confident that I'm completely worthless.
I wont like this comment because it has 69 likes but know that i would 've liked it
The one mile thing really really annoyed me, then he agreed to let Jay drive it and I melted! Now I completely love the guy.
Please sir, go drive your car more.
Some say he didn't have any of that luscious chest hair or the goatee before he bought this car.
If he drives it anymore his balls will be so hairy they'll resemble a member of Def Lepard circa 1985
@@kevins9785 lmao!
Someone buy that man an adult sized jacket.
the sleeves are a little short
XDDD, asap!
lmao
It is a bit George Costanza-ish
I dunno. Here in Britain, we sometimes have the cropped sports jacket look. Cropped at the hip and then the sleeves to show the shirt underneath
The appearance of this car hits me with a visceral involuntary carlust. It is beautiful!
before watching this video i wouldve thought this was like a kit car or something. It looks out of this world, especially for 93.
Love that from Jay, "These were built in Australia?!? Oh, right, the UK. OK, good".
If Jay brings up the McLaren F1 you know you've got something special.
Own a super expensive car but don't own a trimmer or a coat that fits 😋 So distracted by that lawn.
Still, an amazing car
But he's very proud of his lawn......!!!
Ummmm he is a MAN that has hair...geez. Men are getting more feminine every day.
Confucius say: Bird not make nest in bare tree.
What's with all the comments about chest hair? Everybody's so damn fragile these days. I guess everybody must adhere to the same fashion and grooming trend or suffer shame from nitwits.
@@edwinthomas618 welcome to 2018
Literally a work of art
I had a porsche book when I was a kid and when I saw this in it I was awestruck. This has to be one of the most beautiful cars in the world
I always love Leno's Canadian tuxedos
Gorgeous automobile, but why didn’t you even once show the interior?
The interior shot of the transmission shifter showed us why - it's a stripped-down interior, built for racing.
maybe because there was nothing to show, these cars don't really have anything inside, just a seat a shifter and a steering wheel, the racing models would have the ECUs there, but really they've always been empty, kept to be entirely functional
Cant fit the camera 😅
Ok so i find my dream car... Its one in the world... OMG thats so perfect!
17:00 notice how the transmission/engine are part of the chassis with the suspension attached to them
Love how Jay finds a way to bring up a F1 and that he owns it 😂😂
Its just a steps along the comparison he makes. It comes natura lto him, when he knows so many racing cars.
Jeez, the paint on that is immaculate.
My old VW beetle was a hybrid as well. Burned gas and oil...
read more assume less back in the days when VWs used to have dynamos instead of alternators some of the drag racers used to swap the circuit so that it acted like an electric motor. Anything to shave some time off the 1/4 mile!
Calculated effort to increase the value of his investment” Driven by J.Leno”.
i'm 1000% positive that when Leno dies...
this guy's investment goes beyond the moon!
As seen on Jay's Garage. What they all do. Including manufacturers.
So what. He was cool enough to bring the car out, the minimum is that he gets some recognition.
This car is ridiculously valuable already. What this does is establish provenance for potential future buyers i.e., make the care more readily sellable, not necessarily more valuable.
Ivanhoe spent so much on his cool car, he simply did not have the cash left to buy a sport coat in a men's long.
"You can feel the Porsche connection" while almost setting on top of each other lmao. Awesome car, awesome guy. So glad we got to see it driving and not just a static sry piece
Any bets on Jay Leno ending up buying this car one day???
I certainly hope so! That way it'll actually get driven!
Vu Huynh bet that’s why he is there
Vu Huynh I don’t know if even Jay could afford this. Given the insane price appreciation of all things Porsche in the past few years, you have to think what is probably the single rarest and most desirable Porsche of the past 30-40 years would break the 8-digit mark. Jay’s cars are great, but most seem to cost a few hundred thousand, not $10 million.
@Flying Higher007 Lol right? It's hilariously amusing to know that most people don't realize just how ballin' Jay Leno is. Just because he always wears the same denim outfit and is the realest dude on the planet, that doesn't mean that he's not ridiculously wealthy. He's spent unheard of amounts restoring, modifying, and improving cars that he owns. Just the Stanley Steamer alone would have been too much for most people to afford. Nothing is ever too much when cars and racing are life.
Not as bored as he looked
I grew my chest hairs to watch this episode. Longer sleeves as well.
SHAVING IS FOR PUSSIES.
Jay would REALLY have to like it to offer to buy Jay can play some serious hardball and he wasn’t shy about this one!
'Now, let's take her on the freeway and see what she's god for' The magic sentence we all waiting for. Nope, not today!
Rimrock300 I was hoping for “let’s see if it’ll do a burnout”.
dude is freaking out lol! then Jay takes his hands off the wheel 😂
Same thing I thought
For jay Leno who wouldn't give it a little spin.
What a beautiful car in every way so well crafted .
Next time we see this one it’ll be right after Jay cuts this guy a check.
