Jay Leno runs the famous 1956 Jaguar XKSS, once owned by Steve McQueen, in this episode of “Jay Leno’s Garage”.
Steve McQueen’s Jaguar: Steve McQueen bought it twice – and twice had his license suspended for driving it! Jay gets an in-depth tour of the King of Cool’s “Green Rat.”
Daniel Eastman of Porsche North America walks Jay through this hybrid super-car, created to herald the future of sports cars at an incredible 70+ mpg!
Could it be the hybrid supercar of the future?
At 738 hp and 78 mpg, the Spyder outclocked the Carrera GT at Nurburgring – which means you want it.
Lee Iacocca shows Jay Leno the Mustang 1 concept car and the very first pre-preproduction model on Jay Leno’s Garage.
Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford’s most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we’re being asked around as a video guest when we’re 89 years old, we’ll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay’s romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well.
