Considered by many to be one of the best American sports cars ever created, Leno’s Chevy Corvette has a fascinating tale behind it. Initially ordered by a U.S soldier that was stationed overseas in Korea, he had mainly intended for it to be more powerful – and lighter.
The car has a V-8 engine under the hood and pumps out 270 horsepower, but instead of the 3-speed, it’s got a 283-cubic inch small block. Leno typically uses the car to cruise around his California neighborhood.
EcoJet
Leno and his 2006 EcoJet wowed at a couple of appearances at a few different shows throughout the years. The EcoJet is a concept car designed by GM at its Advanced Design Studio. With a whopping 650 horsepower jet engine, everyone knew from its conceptual stages that the car wasn’t going to wind up going into production.
Still, it only fits that the entertainer would have his model. He did, after all, help initiate its design. It began as a sketch on napkins and now sits in his garage among all of the other toys.
Lamborghini Miura S
This bright orange, 1969 Lamborghini Miura S is a favorite of car enthusiasts everywhere. It’s been called “one of the most beautiful cars,” and very few vehicles can stun quite like this one.
The Miura was first introduced in ’65 and was designed as a publicity stunt – and it worked. After the manufacturers saw the response to the car, they decided to go through with production. The vehicle, while initially sold for around a half a million, is now worth between $1-$1.5 million.
Bentley GJ 400
Jay Leno has some incredibly impressive (and large) vehicles in his garage, and this 1930 Bentley GJ is no exception. With the work, the comedian has had done to the car. However, it isn’t so much in its classic form these days, but rather a custom modern that has vintage aesthetics.
Still, the 27-liter Rolls Royce Merlin V12 engine, built for WWII planes, is a beast, and the car can reach between 650-700 horsepower.
1939 Lagonda V12
Yet another exciting addition to the entertainer’s collection is this beautiful 1939 Lagonda V12. Leno’s model is a replica that he had built of an original Bentley-designed Le Mans 12. The British manufacturing company only produced Lagonda V12s for a couple of years from 1938-1940.
Impressively, despite the vehicle’s saloon body shape, it was able to reach up to 100 mph, which was quite a feat when it first appeared on the market. Lagonda first opened in 1906 and has been owned by Aston Martin since 1947.
