2017 Ford GT - Jay Leno's Garage 

Man, when he said we live in a society that tears things down instead of talking about the good was so accurate. Everyone wants to hate on something they didnt create or were involved in. This car is beautiful

I used to hate Leno, as I get older (I'm 26 now) I have grown to love him, his demeanor and enthusiasm, and his corny jokes. Really, he is everything you could want from someone with his age and experience, and very few car reviewers seem as genuine as him. His experiences are HIS experiences, and anecdotal as they are, they are exactly what the industry needs. keep it up Jay!

Random fact but I saw him making this video on the highway, we passed him and he gave us a wave!

The AM radio option is what really sells this car.

This guys owns a 2017 Ford GT and doesn't have an iPhone 7. I love your style Jay, you're a truly car's enthusiast, hope one day I get to meet you.

Jay’s reviews are so real and pure. I love that he calls out other reviews for talking crap about it for stuff that doesn’t matter like it’s too noisy etc.. that seems to be the trend of modern day car reviews - they point out faults where there is none. “This toaster is great and all, but it doesn’t make coffee!”

I'm not a Ford guy but that car is the best designed and looking car I've seen.

Jay- "This car is like champagne, I only drive it once a weekend, Its not a everyday car" Also Jay- "I put about 1000 miles on it in the first week"

1,000 miles in a week in a $500k supercar? Jay is/continues to be my hero

Too bad many missed Jay's remark about (paraphrasing) that we live in an era where the focus is on tearing something down rather than appreciating the accomplishments.

he put 1,000 miles on it within 1 week without driving it every day? [gentlemanly applause]

When Jay did his goodbye on "The Tonight Show" he impressed me the most when his reference to his legacy. He showed all the people who were part of the show and their families, especially the children and he also said, " I am leaving the dance with the same girl I came with" or something to that effect. It could be that he pays attention to little details, like " if your going to have a pantie in the trunk of the GT make sure it is your wife's or you will loose half the car", :) . But comedy aside, he is a thoughtful, down to earth, man who has a brilliant clarity of thought and love's America and is proud of what America has done and what she is capable of. I see him finding joy where you can get it, like the smile you see on his face when he is driving his Miata or his Ford GT, "That won Le Mans" shows me happiness comes from with in.

Ford: What other collector cars do you have? Jay: Sit down, this may take a while...

Gotta love jay's reasoning. *I got it in black and orange because.... I liked it in black and orange.* Plain and simple.

I could listen to Jay talk about cars for hours... I likely already have.

I never thought Id wanna give ford a half million dollars, until I saw the GT. Stunning!

Jay Leno is probably worth $500 mill, yet he saves on the $10,000 exhaust addition on a 2017 Ford GT!!!! This man is pure class, man. Any other rich person would have been like "pshhhh 10 grand? add it to the tab! What else? ADD ALL THE EXTRAS idgaf if it cost me 1 mill extra" lol. Love that he still saves up here and there and actually thinks if it is worth 10K or not.

Jay is one of only few people who deserve this car.

Jay Leno's application probably just said "I'm Jay Leno"

Successful goals are like priceless treasures and require maximum attention to develop, which is called advice and pep talks and better opportunities for job opportunities and good work from the government.

Ford GT 2017 - Unboxing

"oh shut up, it's a race car for the street" well said.

Jay is the man..."for 10,000 dollars I can lose 10 pounds" rather than option the titanium exhaust

Man, these vids where it's JUST Jay and a machine are my fave. No other people sucking up all the oxygen with their jabber; just Jay sharing his immense knowledge and passion.

Say what you want about Jay as a Talk Show Host, but he is definitely a cool guy and is surprisingly easy to talk to. Used to see him around Burbank all the time when he was doing the Tonight Show. Always driving something different, of course... I once saw him pull out of NBC in a Corvette, and decided to rag on him at the stoplight about the Vette not being exotic enough. I was in an SUV, and most celebrities would just look the other way and then scoot when the light turned green. Not Jay. He leans over and rolls down the window and had me repeat my taunt. When I told him I didn't think a Corvette was up to his standards, he launched into an excited little description about the car and its "carbon fiber front-end" and etc., etc. Then, he asks me if I would like a pizza. He was taking a couple of them home from work and handed me one out the window: "It's good pizza", he says! Then he gets his left turn arrow and off he goes, up Buena Vista, toward his garage at Burbank Airport. I immediately went down the street to the stables where I kept my horse and tried to see if anyone could guess where I got the pizza I was sharing with them!

Most car journalists are snobby wanna be elitists. But J is literally a blue-collar millionaire and I love it.

Jay owns enough cars that he understands the subtle differences between them. Each car has a function and you have to respect the differences between them.

I was never envious of someone like Jay, who can afford a squadron of collectible cars - and a huge garage where they can properly be stored. He's worked hard over the years his money and he should be able to spend it like he pleases. After all, he does have his own RU-vid channel where he shares the cars with an admiring and approving public. Hats off to you, Jay!

This mans love for cars is inspiring.

This is such a great show... Jay being Jay... a regular car guy who loves cars. Obviously it is professionally produced, lighting, sound etc, but its Jay just being one of the guys. Too cool. Thank you Jay

I love how Ford said before hand that they were gonna build a car to win Le Mans and then proceeded to do just that. Many other brands say it, sure, but then proceed to not accomplish the goal for years and years. Not Ford though. They went on to do it, not once but twice. Back in the late 60's and then again in 2017. Tip of the cap to an amazing manufacturer.

The aero engineering behind that car will probably be my favorite until the day I die. Also it's "story". Ford did this out of left field for the 50th anniversary of winning LeMans "just to show them we still can". This car not only cuts through the air unbelievably good (notice it's main body is shaped no different than land speed record cars), it's design allows the car to gain exceptional speed in a draft. After it makes it's pass, it doesn't return the tow to the car now behind. This car functions more like trying to draft 3 motorcycles. It dumps a LOAD of the air it goes through directly behind it into the face of the car behind. It's truly brilliant. Another neat fact about it, it's foot print is as large as it gets because it was too slippery. They still needed to achieve some downforce so they made the surface area of the car bigger to allow the rake of the car to still have enough there to give it downforce. Race cars generate downforce two ways (from GT cars to prototypes). First are aero packages. Splitters, dive planes, gurneys, wings, etc. The next way is the rake of the car (nose height in relation to tail height). Edit just to add a little more: While they could have kept the smaller footprint and increased the rake even more, that's dangerous. Rake doesn't just affect downforce. It primarily affects weight balance on each axle. If you rake the hell out of a car, it will be exceptionally "twitchy". Too much weight forward will make for a very unstable car, especially under braking at turn in. It's all about balance.

"If you do go on a trip and your wife finds a pair of panties in there, make sure they are hers or you will lose half the car." Jay's a savage

Mr Jay Leno, you are the only guy that has so many cars, is so wealthy and still seems like a regular guy. I do not ever feel you are a rich jerk and that is why I appreciate your videos the most.

Thanks Jay. This review of Ford GT is not like any other in internet. It's brilliant!

In an era where its fashionable to spit on America I’m glad to see a mainstream guy be so proud of his country and the accomplishments Ford has made not only in the automotive industry and racing scene but also the world. Good video jay

While driving his half million dollar quasi-race car he notes how much he appreciates the AM radio... 😀👍

The extent of Jay's application: "Hey, I want one"

Watching this, enjoying the video after putting my boy to bed and it occurred to me as I watched Jay talking about this car, cars in general, Lemans, the buying experience, engineering, Lemans, street and track features, Lemans... and it just struck me it would be nice to have him as a friend. Forget the cars, take away the money, all that. I relaxed watching this. A huge thing. Like guys relax talking to their friends about cars or bikes or boats or carpentry. The conversation was familiar, a conversation I've had with friends on many topics. Even though I wasn't doing any of the talking, I didn't need to, I got everything Jay said. I got it. Thank you Jay Leno for this moment of peaceful appreciation and enjoyment. Its way too rare.

Jay is a true ford guy. Love that. Doesn’t hate all other brands like mopar and Gm guys. Thanks jay, ford forever

Never seen a car with suspension that adjusts that fast

This video shows Jay Leno is the real deal, very humble and down to earth even though he can afford a supercar garage. His overview of the new GT pretty much silences all criticisms of this amazing machine.. A true blue collar hero (pun intended).

I was gonna get this car, but after seeing the boot space I decided to go for a Fiesta instead. Gotta have space for groceries and six packs.

Always a pleasure listening to Jay talk about the cars he owns and drives. It says a lot about a man who can afford to buy anything and doesn’t get the exhaust option because it literally doesn’t make logical sense to even purchase it. 🤙 Special shout out to Ken Miles and Carol Shelby for their brilliance in engineering and testing that help develop the GT we now see today.

I like that they didn't clean the GT that won the race. Battle scars.

License plate: BK2 LMNS Like a boss

Jay's ordering procedure: Jay: Hey guys can I get one of those new GT's? Ford: Sure Jay: Can it be # 12 like my ' 05? Ford: Sure

Jay, I think it was made in Canada, but that is still North America. I am so proud of you as a collector to own this stunning automobile. It is a beauty. I like the 2005 as well. Being old school that one is my favorite.

Come on , its Jay Leno. He is just a common man who done really well and never forgot were he came from . Love ya Jay , good luck with the double 12 s.

I wish I could be out there with Jay Leno showing me his cars, taking rides, and getting history lessons. He's an American treasure

When jay was ordering this on the phone, I bet you the car was delivered to him before he even hung up the phone! A real car guy, he's known in L/A as a real nice down to earth guy!

The guys at Ford must be glowing right now! Beautiful machine....

One of the American greats! Good job FORD.

Epic!!! What a beauty! American engineering at its finest!!! Well done, Ford!

i got a total kick out of watching your face when you spoke about the car. it was easy to tell you actually loved it. not just liked it, but loved it.

"All the money I saved on clothes"---that one made me laugh.

"Why you have cruise control on this I have no idea." Love the way Jay said this. Hilarious!

12:40 LMAO Jay really just doesn't GAF and that's why we love him

Jay is doing every thing short of offering a turn at the wheel. The man is really sharing as much as possible the experience of purchasing and owning this car. He likes cars and people is seems.

Love Jay's reviews. No crap. Man loves cars, loves driving. No pretensions and loves to send them up. Keep in mind he had a daily drive car of an Espanda.

"I don't drive it every day" Puts on 1,000 miles in a week

For $10'000 I can lose 10 lbs 😂😂😂

"Trunk only holds one pair of panties" I LOL'd

I'm proud of Ford for winning both the 1966 and 2016 Lemans. When I was a kid, Ford Motor Company was the origin of my dad's income. He worked for the company that delivered the Ford products out of Louisville Kentucky. Both the Louisville Assembly Plant and the Kentucky Truck Plant. I had an opportunity to see one the 1966 GT40s at the Sportsdrome race track in Jeffersonville Indiana. It was part of the "Mustang Tournament of Thrills" exhibition.

The Ford GT is a track assassin!!!Jay is a humble soul..one of my favorite channels

Jay is more knowledgeable than most automotive historians... Love it!

I love Jay. I love how hes into the fact that it is a Ford, and I love how he tells people whining about the noise of the car to "shut up, it's a race car" . Thanks jay

I do not think it is physically possible to hate Jay Leno, he is such a good guy man

This is a real car guy giving a real review. Not one of those tools at MT, RT or what ever outlet that think their jobs are to complain then complain again.....unless it is German.

I think Jay is the only guy in LA that actually uses his turn signal!

The number of people claiming the car didn't win at Le Mans is baffling. It won its class. It isn't an LMP car.

Jay thanks for this awesome segment. I am a Matchbox / Hot Wheels collector and at 70 years "young" the closest I will probably ever come to the 2017 Ford Gt is the Hot Wheels model I have of the Le Mans winner, plus the total of 39 other Ford GT's from all eras which are in my collection. If I could attach a photo of my display case I would. But thanks again for the awesome segment on the GT.

What a drop-dead GORGEOUS car! Loved the original GT-40, the 2005, but to me this car is on a whole other level of aesthetic beauty -- and performance. The engine sounds fabulous. Oh, yeah, and by the way: "It won LeMans!" Thanks, Jay!

I was wondering when he was going to do a segment about this car! Him & Tim Allen are probably the only two celebrity car enthusiasts I'd pay attention to.

Such a Dude, for 10 Grand, I can lose 10 lbs... You're alright Jay you're alright.

Jay makes some really great points about the open direspect this Ford GT got when it came out. Much like the bizarre futuristic styling of the new McLarens , people had to actually learn about the car before they could appreciate everything that the styling represents, I get a smile on my face everytime I look down the side of the car past those huge radiators in the rear fender wells. Compromise was never engineered into the Ford GT, Thank you to the entire Ford team who represented American greatness by building this car and winning LeMans. And to Jay Leno for showing us why we should appreciate their efforts.

Jay, Congratulations on the new Ford GT. Stunning, elegant, animalistic vehicle. Though you are a wealthy person, you are still a middle-class, blue-collar guy who still has the passion for cars that you had when you were a teenager.

I have been looking forward to this video for weeks...one of the very few people whose opinion I respect

You gotta love Jay. He knows so much & has such passion for all types of vehicles it's truly amazing. I love his show & his channel.

Jay is patient. Nice to listen to him. He’s locked in on the subject.

Jay, I'm a long time viewer first time commenter... I'd like to thank you so much for sharing your life's hobby and passion. I enjoy all the shows; the real insights, comments from an actual owner. Please keep it coming.

I like how Jay explains things. He's not trying to be big and loud or controversial. good job!

Clearly that trunk is to store the asbestos glove you need to check the oil without burning yourself.

These videos are so enjoyable and relaxing. Hes the real deal.

THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR, AND ITS A FORD. I LOVE IT!

Jay I agree, it is a super car. Winning LeMans say's it all.

Love how he starts with an unboxing, such a nerd :)

Jay Leno you have all the coolest cars in the World!

"Is it based on the F-150 truck engine?" "I suppose." Yeah, but that kind of worked well with for the Shelby's too....

The 2005 GT is my favorite car of all time.

Congratulations Jay on your Ford GT

I'm a late comer to watching these videos but listening to Jay is like being in your neighbors garage talking cars. The only slight difference is that Jay isn't holding a beer!

Omg the side profile of this car is amazing @12:18

Jay really lays out a good review. He doesn't put on this "journalist" hat and try to knitpick and insert all this witty jargon. He gives a real complete review, talks about the car and appreciates what it is. Many reviewers try too hard to find the one flaw or downside to a car...it's frankly pretty annoying. I feel like this review was so complete...shy of one thing. I was hoping he'd open the front area to see the radiators and tunnels.

V6 Engines don't sound nice.... *Ford*: Hold my beer 0:10

It’s amazing how good this car sounds, with a V6!

How do I get a job sweeping your garage and being the key cabinet monitor?

Jay in every episode: Is it five speed or six speed? Disc brakes on all four wheels? Nicely done!

I wish people like Jay could be cloned, the knowledge, the class and A genuine nice guy. I love this channel as well as the tv show, especially when you talk about old stories from back in the earlier days of your career.

Jay is spot on with respect to winning Le Mans. The unfortunate thing for Ford (and us fans) was that the win coincided with the final game of the NBA playoffs and didn't get a fraction of the attention it deserved.
