    Watch Jay Leno’s McLaren P1 Delivered In Beverly Hills (VIDEO)

    Jay-Leno-McLaren-P1

    Would it surprise you if we told you that Jay Leno is getting delivery of the first McLaren P1 on this side of the Atlantic?

    Of course it didn’t shock us; and it’s an interesting lesson on how the slightly surreal world of exotic car delivery can work.

    Unlike the sometimes cringe-worthy unloading (or loading) antics we’ve seen with other supercars, this McLaren P1 gets the white glove treatment, complete with a truck that not only lowers its bed, but raises its top to free the car in the most gentle and elegant of ways.

    Under the protective covering, we can see that the car being delivered (in the Beverly Hills area) is a bright yellow P1. Once off the truck, the delivery team takes special precautions to ensure the P1 doesn’t scrape its nose or tail on the entry to the dealership where it will await delivery.

    Leno has developed quite a reputation for getting first dibs of all sorts; he was also the first outside McLaren to drive a P1, last summer.

    Tim Allen And His 1968 Camaro Visit Jay Leno’s Garage (VIDEO)

    Tim Allen And His 1968 Camaro Visit Jay Leno's Garage (VIDEO)

    Tim Allen And His 1968 Camaro Visit Jay Leno's Garage (VIDEO)
    For the latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, Tim Allen stopped by with his customized 1968 Camaro.

    Inspired by a green ’68 Allen used to see racing up and down Detroit’s Woodward Avenue, many subtle modifications and details cribbed from some legendary Camaro models.

    Painted in the same shade as Allen’s teenage fascination, the Camaro wears COPO badges. While it’s not one of the original (and now extremely rare) COPO cars, it does feature a similarly monstrous “small-block” 427-cubic-inch V-8. It also has the hunkered-down stance of a Trans-Am racer. Think of it as a tribute to both cars.

    Yet at first glance, it looks remarkably stock, as Allen didn’t want to go too crazy with changes. The integrated fender flares and deleted drip rails give the car a muscular yet classy look, while the custom 17-inch Rally wheels keep things looking stock, but conceal upgraded Brembo disc brakes.

    The engine bay got a similar remake. Allen said he wanted the swap to look like something that came right out of the Chevy factory, but also wanted to clean things up to properly show off that 427.

    This Camaro can still smoke its tires like any other ’60s muscle car, but upgrades to the structure and suspension give it the solidity and handling of a modern car, something Jay seemed very impressed with during the drive.

    Jay Leno Reviews Porsche 911 Carrera S & The Morgan 3 Wheeler | (VIDEO)

    Its always nice to get a video car review from a celebrity for that extra bit of social proof, so here is Jay Leno’s take on the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the classic Morgan 3 Wheeler on his latest ‘Jay Leno’s Garage’ show.

    The new-generation 911 Carrera S is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six with direct injection engine that delivers a total of 400 horsepower. When equipped with the PDK gearbox, the new Carrera S can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. Porsche also offers a Sport Chrono Package that improves the sprint time to 4.1 seconds.

    Check out the video to see what Leno has to say about the new generation 911. Also, see if he agrees that the Morgan 3 Wheeler is just a money burner.

     

    Jay certainly knows his stuff!
