Leno is no stranger to Dodge’s Challengers; in fact, he’s owned at least three of them throughout his many years of collecting. But this 1970 Challenger RT is something else. The bright orange model looks like something pulled straight out of a chase scene from an early ‘70s film – and the scouts in Hollywood must have thought the same thing, because it appeared on screen several times, including in 1971’s “Vanishing Point.”
The car gets up to 570 hp, and the entertainer’s model is fitted with a Hurst pistol-grip lever, upping the cool factor even more.
’96 Dodge Viper GTS
Up next in the collection is yet another Dodge Viper, this one a 1996 blue and white GTS. He’s talked about his love and appreciation for Vipers in several of his videos and likes to take them all out around town (yeah, this isn’t the last Viper on the list.)
The Viper GTS was built to be like the more modern version of a Cobra 427, which puts out 450 hp, with an 8.0-liter V10 engine. When the models were first released, they were going for $66,000, though if you can find out for sale today, you should expect to pay closer to $72,000.
The First Black Viper
Well, the comedian may not have gotten his wish to have the Dodge Viper #4, but he did manage to lock down this 1993 Dodge Viper – and the first black Viper ever produced by the company. The car has a massive 8.0-liter V10 that puts out up to 400 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque.
Leno, who purchased the car when it was brand new, called the engine “unbelievable” for the early ‘90s. He’s now owned the vehicle for 27 years and has only racked up 10,000 miles on the machine.
2015 Dodge SRT Challenger Hellcat
The next Challenger, the comedian, added to his collection wouldn’t come until several decades after the last.
The 2015 SRT Challenger Hellcat, at least Leno’s model, is a bright, shiny red beast that comes equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 engine that’s capable of pushing out a whopping 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. The car can go from 0 to 60 in less than four seconds and hit top speeds of over 200 mph.
Ford GT
It should come as no surprise to any car enthusiast that Jay would add a 2005 Ford GT to his collection, especially considering it’s a classic, Le Mans-winning supercar. The GT was designed by Camilo Pardo, who created the car with some exciting features that come along with their backstories.
For one, he chose to “nod back” to the 1960s racer with the classic, vintage doors, with one big difference: they allowed enough room for you to open up your doors in tight parking spots.
