Interesting. No Cadillacs, Mercs (apart from the SLR), BMWs, or Ferraris

FYI, Leno has stated he hates Ferrari's (for various reasons), but really likes Lamborghini's (obviously)

Hey Robert, he's got the Maybach 57, that's a Mercedes . I remember reading the article the NY Times published when he it.

I can't remember the show he was on, but he once said he didn't like the Enzo 'cause he's not a big fan of paddle shifters .

I thought he owned more than 80 cars though. I've heard more than 100 and he keeps 'em at an airport.

 

[wltsm]

He seems to be into his old cars!

There are some nice new ones there though including the Veyron!

 

[Mr. M]

I didn't know he's so crazy about cars. He seems to be very into classic or old-school cars though.

 

[Centurion]

He's a cool guy, I was at his show earlier this eyar.

 

[zetableh]

Leno is one of the biggest car guys in the world.

 

[MoSs]

[cawimmer430]

The greening of Jay Leno


The LA Times just ran a piece about how car collector extraordinaire and The Tonight Show host Jay Leno is seeing green these days. Not envious in the least, Jay in fact has several warehouses around Burbank that house hundreds of incredible vehicles that would incite lust in just about anyone with a car-loving bone in their bodies. No, the green here is the environmental push that is seemingly sweeping the world over. It seems that after spending more time with fellow celebs and enviro-warriors like Ed Begley, Jr., Jay has become enlightened to the needs of Mother Earth.

It should be pointed out that Jay has always had alternative vehicles in his collection. Most of those are early steam cars, but still, last year at SEMA he introduced the EcoJet powered by biodiesel and this year he rolled out the
E85 Corvette C6RS by Pratt & Miller. People see high performance and the green movement as two diametrically opposed concepts, but Leno is one of those people who understands you can have both. Making a high performance vehicle doesn't have to come at the expense of the planet if you choose your motivation carefully. Cars like those mentioned above and Audi's diesel-powered R10 Le Mans racers come to mind. And the greening of Jay extends beyond the vehicles themselves.

Leno is investing in ideas like solar panels, wind turbines and grease-eating microbes, according to the article. He's also gradually making over his Big Dog Garage to incorporate self-generated power, energy-efficient heating and nontoxic cleaners. The article is a pretty good read, so check it out for yourself. The funniest bit in the story is Jay's half-serious, half-joking rationale for getting into the green thing:

"My thing with the green situation is: Even if you don't believe in global warming, don't you want to screw the oil company or gas company or utility company?"

Priceless.

Damn, I didn't know they knew how to make 1000hp engine that would fit in a car back in 1934. What was it? like 20L engine?

He has one of the best garages ever

To the right is the Ferrari:

The Merlin V12 is a 27L aircraft engine.
