Yet another one of the Corvettes in the entertainer’s collection is his 2002 Z06. The car, which he paid around $51,000 for, includes The Tiger Shark Body Kit. The kit makes it look even sportier, with a few aesthetic changes like a detachable, sleek-chin spoiler, among other things.
Under the hood sits a powerful V8, 5.7-liter, 405-hp engine, hence how Leno can hit speeds of around 175 mph when he showed it off for viewers on his show. The Z06 with The Shark Body Kit may look like a racecar, but it’s classified as a luxury vehicle.
Imperial Convertible
Chrysler’s Imperial sub-brand Convertible hit the market in the 1950s, to compete with other long, shiny luxury cars like Cadillac’s El Dorado Biarritz and Continentals. The Imperial Convertible Leno owns is the 1958 model, which comes equipped with a 392-cubic-inch Hemi that pumps out up to 345 horsepower.
The car is one of just 560 ever created and features the brand’s first-ever wraparound windshield. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, demolition derbies banned Imperials because they were “tougher than tanks,” and indestructible.
Corvette ZR1
The comedian has called his 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 the “greatest Corvette ever.” He, along with other car enthusiasts, have called it the brand’s “most powerful Corvette,” and the most powerful that GM has ever produced.
Leno’s model is one of the first-ever made, during its initial production, and comes along with a 6.2-liter V8, which puts out over 635 horsepower. Like most Corvettes, it’s incredibly fast and can hit 0 to 60 in around four seconds. The ZR1 has a maximum speed of 200 miles per hour.
Corvette Coupe
It seems like Leno could stock a garage with his Corvettes alone, and next up on the list is this metallic blue 2004 Corvette Coupe. While the cars were initially valued at over $50,000, you can find them today for less than $20,000.
Still, its color, Electron Blue Metallic, makes it unique, as not very many other Corvettes have painted this hue. And, given its maker, it should be no surprise that it can reach 0-60 in just 4.5 seconds and hit top speeds of up to 175 mph.
’71 Citroën DS
The Citroën DS was first introduced to the world in the mid-'50s, though it provides a mixed feel and looks of both vintage and futuristic. But despite its attractive aesthetics, all of the elements work together in the larger picture of making this one good ride.
Take, for instance, the large headlights – they turn along with the steering wheel, so the driver has an easier time seeing the road at night. Some even argue that, though it’s been called “bizarre” and “strange,” the DS is the best car of the 20th century.
