garage

, starting with number 10, the laganda 1939 V12, 100 units produced from homologated Auto Lon, we move on to a near carbon copy of the Lemon racing car, the 1939 Laganda V12. Only two original Lon Laganda V12s were made and neither are in Leno's garage. He owns a beautifully recreated replica of the 1939 racing car and is also said to be extremely rare. For H and H auctions, only about 100 of these 1939 Lemon Leanda V12 replicas survive today.

Powering this stellar looking race car was, of course, a naturally aspirated 4.5L V12 engine that made around 200 horsepower even though the Laganda V12 was rare and difficult. driving Leno still stretches his legs from time to time number nine is the 1953 Cunningham C3 with 25 units produced and only 25 examples of the Cunningham C3 Coupé exist. Still the least rare on our list, somehow the Cunningham C3 had only one goal in mind: to be a homologation special by building 25 examples of the Cunningham C3 Briggs Cunningham The brains behind the C3 hoped to be able to participate in racing the 24 Hours of Le Man with Jaguar, Aston Martin and others.

It's surreal to think that Jay Leno had the opportunity to acquire one of these. number eight 1963 Chrysler Turbine 9 units The space age produced some pretty iconic cars, one of them being the Chrysler turbine car that was built in the early 1960s when Jay Leno was just 14 years old. The Chrysler turbine car had an impressive body built by a renowned Italian. design House carrozeria Gia and, as its name suggests, was powered by a turbine. Chrysler built 55 turbine cars, including five prototypes and 50 cars for a public user program that Chrysler hoped would help it know whether to put it into production or not, unfortunately the user program. exposed several problems that ultimately caused Chrysler to abandon the project, including the car's complex starting procedure, poor fuel economy, and relatively lackluster acceleration as a result.

Chrysler recovered and destroyed all but nine of the turbine cars. Chrysler has two of the remaining cars, six are on display in various museums across the US and the only one in a private collection belongs to none other than Jay Leno number seven Ford Shogun 1989 7 units in the late 80s Ford partnered with Yamaha to build one of the coolest American sleeper cars of all time, the Taurus show the Taurus Show shared its body with the standard Taurus, but had a different transmission, a 3-liter Yamaha doc V6 with 220 horsepower, It also had a 5 speed manual transmission, impressed with the Taurus.

American engineer Chuck Beck had the crazy idea to take his transmission and stuff it. He joined the Ford Festiva to create one of the coolest Hot hatches of the moment. The result was the FES OFA. Shogun Beck even founded a company with a plan to build 250 examples of the Hot hatch. Ford initially loved the idea and was even planning to provide Beck with show engines directly, but the deal fell through after executives tested the car in the end. Beck only built seven cars, including the prototype, and Jay owns one of them, number six, 2010 keg ccxr Trava, two units, none of the Kig Egg cars is how it works.

We say mass produced, but the 2010 Trava kig zeg ccxr takes the cake for being the

rarest

coneg of all time. To be exact, there are only two examples of ccxr Trava, one of which was Floyd Mayweathers. He has since sold it for $2.6 million. Why do you ask so much? From the jaw-dropping 4.8L twin-supercharged V8 engine that delivers over 1,000 horsepower and 796 lb-ft of torque, many of its components are infused with diamonds, talk about flexing your number five jewelry. 1950 Mercedes-Benz race car transporter, two units produced even when automobile brands competing in large races needed to transport their cars to the race track safely.

Mercedes-Benz's answer to this conundrum was to build its own transport truck in 1950. The 1950 Mercedes-Benz racing car transporter was special in many ways to begin with, it shared a few design cues. Along with the legendary Mercedes 300 SL that set it apart from other racing transport vehicles, the 3 300 SL also had the powerful 3-litre straight-six engine of the 3 300 SL, making it the ultimate racing transport vehicle. Races faster with top speeds of over 100m per hour. Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz destroyed the original. 1950s racing car transporter in the '60s as it became obsolete, causing a public outcry from people who loved it after backlash.

Mercedes-Benz built an exact replica of the 1950 racing car transporter and it is currently in the MercedesBenz museum in Germany. built by a Swedish gentleman shortly after and years later Jay Leno acquired and restored it. Leno now uses it to transport his number four 1934 Dusenberg Walker Coupe racing cars. One unit was produced. This is what is called weight that adapts to the road, but accelerates very well and pulls. The average car is 6,000, weighs 3 tons, many Dusenberg cars came true throughout history, but the most expensive model ever made, at least in regards to MSRP at the time the Dusenberg Walker Coupe of 1934 takes the cake in 1934, it had a sticker price of $25,000, costing over $500,000 in 2024, aside from being incredibly beautiful, only one Dusenberg Walker Coupe was ever made.

Duesenbergs are generally some of the most expensive American cars sold at auction, so you can imagine how much the Walker Coupe would cost if Jay Leno were to sell it today, 1963 Jaguar XKE, one unit was produced. The Jaguar e type is undoubtedly one of the greatest British sports cars of all time and with so many produced one would wonder why it is on a list of rare cars, however J Leno's e type is different from the the rest. To the average viewer, J Leno's 1963 Jaguar Leno used a custom 5.7L V12, but that's not the case. Stop there, this particular XK is the only short wheel BAS XK to feature a V12 in the world, so it deserves a spot on this list.

Number two. GM ecojet concept from 2006. One unit produced. One of the rarest cars J Leno owns. It's one that doesn't. Someone else had the opportunity to buy the 2006 GM ecojet, which is one of the coolest American concept cars even though the ecojet is not much more than a concept car, it opened everyone's eyes to alternative methods to diesel engines. Traditional internal combustion engine in the middle of the ecojet a turbine engine that used biodiesel fuel, in fact, produced a staggering 650 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Since then, another collaboration has yet to take place. between GM and J Leno.

Number one is from 1931, with only one unit produced. It's no McLaren, but it holds its own. Yes, he had never heard of the 1931 shot much before. Well, don't worry, we barely knew that beforehand. That said the story behind the 19 31 Shotwell is incredible and it's all thanks to Bob Shotwell when Shotwell. He was 17 years old, he decided to get to work and built the Shotwell car by hand. Shotwell used an Indian Motorcycles engine and had three wheels, two in the front and one in the rear. After that, Shotwell drove the car for a total of 150,000 miles. Over the years the Shotwell accumulated a lot of damage but fortunately Jay Leno acquired it and gave it a complete restoration, as you may know being hand built only one shot well exists and it is nestled in Jay Leno's garage .
