Came across this on the net.

Part of Jay Lenno's car collection is a 1992 JZZ30 fitted with a 2JZ-GTE and built auto.

I thought it was an unusual car to have in his collection amongst some of the worlds most exotic and rare cars.

Yeah, and the cash to fabricate what he wants, this is one of his toys that was at the Pleasanton (San Francisco) Goodguys event last year.

I don't think that's Jay Lenos Soarer, as its in the "Your Ride" section

If you look through his actual collection, there is no soarer

I was thinking the same thing Justin. Nice car still.

One of my fav cars is the SHOgun Festiva, I just love how they've turned something so totally inappropriate as a sports car (had one as my first car) into a little rocket!

The engine in the open wheeler is obviously a Packard V-12, likely made under licence for the war effort.
P-51 Mustang fighters had a similar motor, 2,500 plus horsepower. There is a cutaway version at the Canberra war memorial, check it out some time.

This truck? was parked next to Leno`s, it is running a Lycoming airplane engine(air cooled), I forget the capacity (BIG).
