Jay Leno

Jay Leno
Jay Leno has become a leading voice within the automotive industry as he has driven cars, such as a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger Continuation and a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. He has even test-driven newer cars to test and review their capabilities on his show Jay Leno’s Garage, such as the GMC Hummer EV and the 2022 Mercedes Benz EQS. However, Leno has been driving around in his electric car for over a decade, a 2011 Chevy Volt. He then switched to a 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid. Even though Leno enjoys classic cars, he is still able to appreciate modern innovations.

He has even purchased James Bond’s first car as an avid collector. However, he does not own any Ferraris. However, one of his most unusual cars might be a 105-year-old hybrid. His collection and passion for cars are infectious to most people that watch him. His expertise in the automotive world has become a valuable asset.
