2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - Jay Leno's Garage 

I would buy this car in a heartbeat if I could.

"this is a very good paint, this is an incredible paint." Beautiful quote

the porsche man seems so happy to haha =) He looks like the proud dad of the baby =)

I'm an Italian car guy, but have to hand it to the Germans. Massive amount of respect for their technological know-how. Respect to the engineers from Porsche and Stuttgart GHQ.

I think Hammond said it best; *"Mclaren has used hybrid technology to liven up a supercar, today. Porsche has used hybrid technology to save the supercar, for tomorrow. This is an important car."*

Most gorgeus grey tone Ive ever seen

I didn't know Gru worked at Porsche

At only a 1.5 million dollars (US) everyone should drive this car and save the planet.

If i ever win the lottery i am definitely buying this car. I mean you can't go wrong. If it snows the awd helps you a ton not to mention the front lifting suspension and then of course theirs the 800+ hp which is incredible since it averages 70 mpg. Porsche definitely set a new standard for the entire automobile industry. Way to go!!!!

I know lots of people prefer the look of the LaFerarri and the P1 to this but of the three, this is actually my personal favourite in terms of looks. I honestly don't really even know why. I think its a combination of things. Don't get me wrong, they ALL look amazing and I think theyre all beautiful examples of engineering and art coming together but I just like this one the most.

You can tell when Jay enjoys a car by the way he smiles, engages with the host and keeps looking for reasons to drive the car. He definitely loves this one.

Only one word comes to mind about this car is " Ausgezeichnet " !

It really does represent a quantum leap in performance. Truly amazing piece of engineering.

The noise this 918 and the LaFerrari makes just puts the P1 to shame.

I've never been a big fan of Porsche but this is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.

My dream car.

Richard Hammond had the same look after driving it too Jay. You can take your wife out to dinner in it and when alone enjoy the canyons like never before. That car is the future.

I support Porsche in everything they do. Because they have balls, bringing cars to whatever track and pitting said cars against whatever the competitors bring. Of course said competitors don't bring their cars unless they can get an unfair advantage in tuning to the track of their choice with unrealistically tuned cars and an army of their own techs and mechanics (looking at you, Ferrari). Porsche doesn't make excuses, they say "bring it". Oh, and if it doesn't quite live up to expectations, and the reviewer says so, the reviewer won't be banned from driving those Porsches (Right, Chris Harris?)

Performance? Im not overly concerned about that. The only place to use 900+bhp is on the track... That thing will SNAP NECKS when it pulls up. Its quite possibly one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

well i'm sold. will they take my '98 Altima as a trade-in?

Out of the three "major" hypercars that have been launched in the last few years: P1, LaFerrari and 918 - the 918 is probably the best street car, it got all the creature comforts, is bloody fast and exciting. Well done Porsche!

The 2015 Porsche Spyder turns the perception of the hybrid upside down. I can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing, that baby growls ---- what a gem!!!!

Jay Leno's Garage is amazing, It has successfully filled the Top Gear shaped hole in my soul.

Priceless: The smile on Daniel's face when Jay nailed it. Jay, this car is a must have!

I wish I could thumb up this video 50 times. Such an amazing automobile!

2 badasses cruisin together in a 918. No big deal.

This has to be my favorite engineer-guest from a manufacturer that Jay has ever brought to the show! throughout the episode you can clearly see how eager he was to tell Jay all about the car, everything that went into building it and answer any question that Jay had :) He never stopped smiling during the entire show lol you can clearly see all the passion and excitement he has! it makes me so happy when I see someone who is living out their dreams, its easy to see that he truly loves his job, loves cars and takes pride in his work :D Porsche is very lucky to have someone like that working for them! I hope that Ill be working as a engineer for Ford some day after I get my degree and some experience under my bel :)

This is such a perfect car. I love the silver paint job on porsche cars and the acid green accent coloring on the calipers and interior is perfect for a spyder. This is definitely my favorite car ever made.

The 918 over the P1 or the LaFerrari any time! What a beauty of a car..

You can tell this car is something special because it leaves the Porsche rep (Daniel) smiling even though he gets to drive the everyday! I really hope Jay put in an order for one of these, it's just an awesome automobile!

James Dean himself would appreciate how far Porsche has come. WOW

he looks like Carl Sagan

I love in the drive by shots you can see the sheer amount of heat coming out of the top of the car through the exhaust pipes :D Such an amazing vehicle.

I bet he ended up buying one...god I wish I had Jay's bank account 😍

Love this channel and it's refreshing to see the gentlemen explaining the vehicle to be so personable and excited to share this amazing machine.

One of the most important cars of the past 40 years. Engineered to perfection.

i don't know you guys but to me Jay seems happier since he left the tonight show

So Jay Leno bought a car for the clutch? Wow, just wow

such a beautiful vehicle. sets the bar high

Electric mode is extremely important, when the wifey is asleep, and you just happened to sneak out for um, a few minutes.

I've never been a fan of Porsche - but this changes everything.

This car is bittersweet. It saves the supercar and improves where the old ones failed but most of us will never drive one of this caliber.

I feel like this might be the most beautiful supercar currently available. It's ridiculously gorgeous.

By far the greatest car I think ever.... best sounding car, best looking car, best performance car. Greatest ever...

_"Porsche, there is no substitute."_

I own a 1999 911 Porsche Carerra Cabriolet manual 6 speed. The first year of the water cooled engine. Yes, I am bragging, as any respectable Porsche owner would do. I named the car "Otto" considering it's German heritage. It has barely over 103,000 miles on it & IS a daily driver. Because I do my best to try to take care of the car, the original clutch lasted for 100,000 miles. Interesting facts about Porsche & the 911; The reason the ignition is on the left of the driver is because all Porsche's are racers. Porsche race drivers(in the 24 Le Mans race) in the early days had a split second advantage over other drivers because they could start the cars with the left hand & leave the right hand free for immediate gear shifting. Out of a sense of tradition, they've kept this innovation over the years. Also, 75% of ALL Porsche's are still on the road! I don't know how many other car companies can claim that! The other 25% must've been lost in high speed collisions I reckon. Although Porsches are expensive, they're WAY less expensive than other "Supercars" like the Lambo.

16:21 THAT LAUGH LMFAO

I think you have a friend for life in Daniel, Jay. His smiles per mile say it all.

Car is amazing, this representative for Porsche is hilarious too. What a jolly German guy.

That guy was great, you can tell he loves cars just as much or even more than Jay does.

Mr Leno is rarely wowed...this one seemed to amaze him. My favorite auto of the new era.

I love how he's so happy and complimenting Jay on his heel and toe skills.

600 hp out of a 4.6 NA V8 and weighs about as much as a 4 banger? When did Porsche hire aliens from outer space?

I liked the fact that Mr. Eastman couldn't stop grinning.

I love Leno, its awesome seeing this guy finishing his career doing what he really loves and doing a great job at it! Best late night guy ever too!

One of the very few episodes that Jay has nothing negative to say. Absolutely gorgeous machine.

With The Tonight Show no longer a constraint for Leno, any chance they can fire Adam Ferrara from Top Gear USA and give that roll to Leno?

Thanks for not blocking this in my country.

Jay is so good at this.... He makes you feel like you are important enough to take along for a ride. Information in simple easy to understand terms... Sad at this point of my life I can see I will not be one of those more money than brains guys but nice to have one so down to earth share His life with us. Thank you Jay for the great videos.

Every time Jay nails the throttle this fella breaks into big smile.....great! Whatta car!

Beautiful heel-toe, perfectly done....the guy from Porsche has a sense of humor :)

Simply love the location of the exhaust! The car is absurdly beautiful! Definitely the one to buy out of the 3 hybrid supercars for the simple fact that it epitomizes driving: in race mode, electric/economy mode, or a combination as well as it being a Spyder. This car does it all!

Nearly 10 years already. Feels like this just came out with the p1 and laferrari yesterday

i'm glad this turned from concept to the real thing also liking the exhausts' position

I absolutely love that car... but that Porsche guy is a freak

...Porsche guy sounds like Gru... LOL

amazing engineering and to think its been 10 years+

The way ppl are speaking about this car is amazing seems like it's top dog at the moment

The most awesome Porsche I have ever seen.

I just can't get enough of these videos, thanks! Gotta love the Porsche. ☺

Its unbelievable how composed Daniel and Jay are at 16:13 they are so blessed to have this experience just wish I can be in their place someday and own a line of supercars!

I think it's HILARIOUS that Daniel Eastman of Porche considers the loudness of the vehicle to be a safety feature. LOL. That's classic. Tell that to California Highway Patrol in your civic.

For once you can afford a super car without it breaking your bank for gas

Man this has been my dream car for years now. love it

Porsche truly knows their game, they created a master piece. This, the P1 and the LaFerrari will be remembered for decades to come. There is a guy here that owns a red 918 here in town and man does it look good.

It's marvelous!

Well, you keep asking what's my favorite thing about the show. So I will tell you. It is Jay's everyman approach to showing us cars we can drool over but never afford. Never once have I felt like Jay was rubbing my nose in the fact that he has all sorts of cars I never will. Now, I will tell you something I _don't_ like. This is not limited to this show, but it is something I saw in this video and have seen in a few others on this channel, and it is something that bugs me. When Jay first started out in television, he had to learn which camera to talk to. If he faced the wrong camera while speaking, it was considered a bad thing, and what is more, it would have been considered to be his fault. I can well imagine how difficult a thing this might be to learn while you are nervously talking in front of several cameras, and I think it is something I would have trouble with, to say the least. These days, however, it seems to be hip for the video editor and/or director to choose whatever camera they like while the subject is speaking, in some sort of attempt at "art," apparently. Also apparently, the person on camera is given no clue as to which camera is "live," as all the editing is done much later. So despite their experience, practice, and training, they are at the mercy of whatever video editor and/or director decide. I don't get this, and I don't much like it. In a normal conversation, when someone is talking to me, they look at me. If they spend a lot of time looking somewhere else while ostensibly talking to me, I get the feeling they aren't very focused on the conversation. Because, apparently, the conversation is not very important to them. I know full well that Jay knows all this, and I am not at all blaming him. I like Jay. :) I can only speculate as to why he allows this in his videos. I am leaning, however, toward "He is very busy and doesn't have time to personally oversee every bit of video that is released."

2:39, modest guy...the insinuation went over his head lol. Love it!!!!

Jay is a legend describing the perfection! This car historically is basically the Lords Supper of Automobile, another reason jay is the best!

It's fun to see how excited this guy still is about the car with that grin on his face.

the way that guy stares at Jay..

Spends the second half of the onramp slowing back down to the speed limit. Incredible and so beautiful.

Utterly amazing! What a car, great drive too :)

i dont care what anyone says, the 918 is way sportier and classier than the p1 and laferrari i also heard its faster than the p1, i'm not sure about the Laferrari tho

The smile on Daniel's face when Jay launched onto the freeway was priceless.

"it goes arrrghhhhh instead of ighghhhghghg" in regards to the lift kit. Jay you are one class act!

By far the best looking of the "hypercars".

FINALLY, I've been dying to see this one, I think I requested it to. I love the 918, the white one in the vid looks epic. I reckon I would take this over a P1 for everyday driving any day (if I could afford lol). Keep up the great work Jay, it would be amazing if you made an episode with the Toyota FT-1 Concept aka the new Supra :)

This paintjob is mesmerizing

Jay driving a 900hp car between lanes with the blinker on is the most Jay thing ever

Hey, Gru from Despicable Me lost some weight!

That guy looked nervous when jay was speeding.

outstanding engineering.. best of all worlds.

I have never been in love with a Porsche so much in my life. The 918 Spyder looks incredible.

Loved it! What a fun and relaxing episode :-)

Buy it Jay!

I got to get up and personal with one of these amazing feats of engineering, absolute madness.

Woooo!! That punch to get on the Hwy must have been 25-110 MPH!! In a handful of seconds!!

You can tell he is thinking that he is going to buy one

WOW!
