a lot of people know this car only because it was included in the 2005 video game Gran Turismo 4 the story behind that is the Japanese developers from Polyphony Digital came to model some other cars that Jay had, and when they saw this they were so stunned that they absolutely HAD to include it in their game!

No doubt that just comes with spendin' so much hands-on time with them. He's likely talked to many, many people about the same cars over and over...going through the specs...answering questions. It'd be easy to get a little blase about it.
you can see the absolute happiness in Jay's face taking his car on a ride :)
Jay Leno's Garage is the largest in the world! Thank you SIR Leno, for these presentations !!!
Jay Leno has a huge heart! How many talented wealthy people open up their life and possessions for the world to appreciate after acquiring a fortune? Most rich people slip into oblivion with their wealth IE 'take the money and run' not Jay he employs other talented people to do what they love. THUMBS UP JAY!
I used to love drifting this 'car' in GT4, it wasn't fast, but you could get (and hold) some massive angle... and depending on the track, it would take up most of the width, making overtaking it almost impossible!! XD
This is the coolest thing on four wheels I've ever seen, including all the batmobiles and prime time fantasy A.I. supercars.
If I saw Jay with his big chin and Dennis with his awesome mustache in the street on that huge polished chrome beast, I would be sure I was caught in a old cartoon.

There's only one word to describe that car... badass!
Finally, the phrase “built like a tank” has meaning.
An eye catching piece of engineering, it's awesome.
Someone somewhere: "A 7-lItRe EnGiNe Is A hUgE eNgInE yA kNoW" Meanwhile in Jay Leno's garage:
the sheer man hours, that went into this, incredible, such engineering is needed today
Oh the lifestyles of the rich and famous! Talk about living the dream. My hero is Jay Leno. God bless you!
The craziest hot rod I've ever seen, it's amazing
Gran Turismo Tank, legendary monster.
I miss Jay Leno! He is so awesome. Love the Tank Car. Amazing.
"Big block Chevy in a Mini Cooper." LOL! Ha ha ha😂😂😂
Thats such an over the top car! Love it!
Jay was only latenight host i watched. God bless Jay in all his adventures
Truly the best Hot Rod to look at eva..includes the motor....a true Hot Rod,judging by the warm air driving along they talk of..and the 1st hot Rod i have eva desired..Wow what a machine..1800 cubes,hemi heads.overhead cams.unreal.!! Talk about Touque.!! I bet shé got some toe power.!!
That looks like something you'd see in a dieselpunk fiction.
Really incredible, the thought, skill and work that must have gone into this car, really superb looking beast too! Love it!
My favorite Leno car.
At 4:00 I sent soda through my nose laughing. Priceless
I gotta say . .seeing Jay driving that car in profile all I could think of is they were made for each other ! I mean they just . . . . . . . .fit .
Much better than watching TOP GEAR or any other prime time car show, luv it what a collection Mr Leno well done class. Jrb 🦋🏴🇬🇧
"Tanks!" I totally guffawed at that one!
That is legit. The Blastolene guys are no joke.

I LOVE HOW JAY ONLY DRIVES HIS CARS AND OTHERS !!! That’s how it’s gotta be !! I love the host of this show also he’s awesome and has a insanely awesome mustache and is extremely knowledgeable on cars it’s amazing !!! JUST BC OF Jay and Dennis I’m looking at a Chevy Apache to build with a modern classicish rebuild and I love it !!

Jay love the beast!! a college buddy emailed a photo of a 55 chevy at the gas pump hose in tank on top it says "When you love Her..."and on the bottom "...Even though She has a Drinking Problem" would apply here.your comment about"Pissed Off Pete" was great "Its Not MPG but "SMILES PER MILE"!! Thanks Fred
