Has anyone else noticed that the Jay Leno Oldsmobile is making 1,055bhp?!

[SCER]

Just a heads up to anyone else as unobservant as I was.

1,000+bhp cars have always been a rarity on GT, so it was a very nice surprise to see this beast lurking in the car list!

 

[Man of Mister]

Wait, WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CarBastard]

Yeah, since a good while ago. It was featured in a show that the Discovery channel aired yeeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago called Rides. There they explain everything about it. It's great that PD has a close relationship with Leno, after all he's an amazing source of cars for them to model. Actually Kaz, your car list should include the entire Leno garage...just a friendly pointer

 

[ironman44321]

Yes, should be very cool

425 CI LS Crate motor with twins. Good stuff!

 

[HarVee]

If only they would've modeled the regular one. I'm not interested in driving Jay Leno's personal cars, regardless of how much BHP they have.

 

[dr_slump]

If they bring back the Stage 4 and 5 tuning parts, 1000hp cars will be quite common.

On the other hand, I could bet this car is not going to have many parts available.



It's nice anyway.

Why not both?

 

[reaperman]

Oh good--the car everybody going to drive the wrong way around trying to ram me with.

 

[HarVee]

I never said they couldn't have both. I'd just prefer to actually drive the original untuned '66 Toronado.

You clearly missed the opportunity for this:

I got you covered pal, don't worry.

Now, back on topic. I can't wait to throw this thing sideways and take pics of it in the City of Arts and Sciences.

That and add turbos to tuningparts to US Muscle cars. I am still mystified at why PD just has superchargers only.

While I appreciate the opportunity you grabbed in using that picture, it appears that I wasn't the only one that wasn't aware of this.

Don't worry, the sinister urge governs my impulses. I just couldn't help it, sorry

I'd've done the same

 

[HuskyGT]

Yes. We've noticed https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/jay-lenos-oldsmobile-toronado.289927/

Don't worry, I'm always down for helping buddies out 👍

looks amazingly real! except for the pipes.... something went awfully wrong with the lighting on the pipes...

 

[Falango]

The exhaust tips are fine, but ya, the pipes themselves don't have a shader on them that look anything like any sort of metal.......

I'm pretty sure that all I'll be doing with this car is burnouts, and some straight line high speed runs. Even if I were to try to turn the wheel, it would still go straight.

 

[colj00]

hey, did you notice the reflection in the rear bumper? its bricks! lol

 

[Jedi2016]

I think maybe it's a custom. You know, had some work done on it or something.

 

[Snaeper]

I felt that was apropos given the reaction content in this thread. I'd much rather drive Jay's iteration than the standard Toronado... given that it was a front wheel drive luxo-barge that was built on a rear wheel drive chassis.

I can only imagine the jokes about it's handling if the real version was included.

 

[hyyperactive]

The name of the car having the words "jay leno" in it should be an obvious giveaway that it is not some stock model.

 

[Conquerer]

Funny thing, I just happened to watch Killing Them Softly tonight and Brad Pitt's car looked awfully familiar. Thought it had to be a Toronado it and actually is. 1967 model though, one year off GT6's model.

 

[Chrunch Houston]

Second worthless Jay leno car to be included in the game.

A normal FF Toronado would be great.

I'd rather have a custom FF to FR muscle car than a front-wheel drive "family muscle car". Muscle cars should never be forced to be FF. YUCK! This is coming from a guy that has a slightly tuned Pontiac Grand Prix (it just looks and drives so nnnnice).
