Jay Leno Drives His 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special

Jay Leno’s collection of cars is legendary and so to is his passion for cars. He was recently spotted in public, driving his 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special and answering a few questions about it.
As we can see in the video, Jay doesn’t really care about fashion or clothing as much as he cares about cars. His oil-stained jacket clearly states that. He himself lifts the engine cover so that the crowd gathered around him can see the monstrous 22-liter WW1 aircraft engine lying underneath. He also says that the engine is extremely low revving, requiring an upshift at around 1500rpm, due to it’s amazing torque output.

We hope to see Jay driving more of his unique cars and hopefully, we’ll get a chance to see him again in something at least as cool as this, if not better.
