You Can Drive Jay Leno’s Car in Grand Turismo 6!

You Can Drive Jay Leno’s Car in Grand Turismo 6!

Whether you’re a fan of Conan, Letterman or Leno, you’ve gotta’ give the Tonight Show host credit in one category: having his own car featured in a next-gen racer is pretty sweet!

Ken Chan (Product Manager at SCEA) touts the late nights host’s involvement in the game, and the inclusion of one of the celebs custom cars he’s so famous for. “Collector and auto expert Jay Leno took two cars from Gran Turismo 6 for test drives in the latest film episode of JayLenosGarage.com: his own 1000 horsepower Oldsmobile Tornado, and also the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo concept car designed especially for the game. In addition to being one of the first to drive the Vision Gran Turismo in the game, Leno is the first person outside Mercedes-Benz to pilot the Vision GT concept car — which was revealed at the recent LA Auto Show — in real life, using a radio controller through his LA garage.”

In the video, found here on the PlayStation.Blog , you see Leno take us inside his custom Tornado, which he’s heavily modified to over 1,000 horsepower. Then, after a few minutes on the road, we cut to inside his garage where a flat screen and racing wheel have been setup as Jay tries out the virtual version of his ride in the game. Aside from a bit of wall checking and fish tailing, Jay finds his groove and seems to thoroughly enjoy the experience.

This is also not the first time Jay has been involved with Gran Turismo . “Jay’s cars are also making a return in GT6. The 1966 Tornado is the second of Jay’s cars to be featured in Gran Turismo. The first was his Tank Car, a behemoth of a dragster powered by an engine from a Patton tank.” The blog post reads.
