Re: Jay Leno's 1,070 hp 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado

I saw the Leno Toronado earlier in last months editionof Hot Rod magazine.

If I had millions of dollars, I would end up building cars just like what he ends up with. Very impressive.
Also those 66 Toros are very nice and unique.
I would love to have one.

Jay Leno didn't try to make his Toronado an off-road beast.

The original Toronado should have had rwd.

I wonder what it must be like to watch those dual turbo chargers make your fuel gauge go down as your speedometer rises...

I saw Jay Leno and his Toronado on TLC's RIDES and it was awesome. He performed an incredible burnout on a closed course after the car was finished.

Here is a different 66 Toronado.

GM's new Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan hand-built the twin-turbo V-8 for Jay Leno's beast. The new aluminum Corvette Z06's 505 hp LS7 and Cadillac's new 4.4 liter supercharged Northstar V-8 are both hand-built there.
