2015 Toyota RAV4 Rally Car - Jay Leno's Garage

[@enigmaPL]

Really surprised the rally version of the RAV4 still used the factory engine and transmission. Nice to know your street car has a drivetrain capable of taking a beating.

[@zshadows]

+enigmaPL I was surprised as well, but I suspect Toyota has a few spares lined up for the next stage in case anything goes wrong.

[@CPD0123a]

+enigmaPL I read up on it before, and I believe it was the 2wd class, unless there's a team of them for multiple classes, and not the full AWD class. At least for that one, I could see Toyota trying to stay "stock" for the sake of marketing and keeping costs down, especially if they already have a good engine. Sure beats the 125 Hp my 2000 Rav4's I4 makes, so it's already pretty good!

[@TylerLinner]

+enigmaPL It's supposedly runnning in 2WD class. If we are talking Rally America's national championship, that means you can do basically whatever you like to the engine, but you can only drive two wheels.

[@yuval4597]

+enigmaPL "Nice to know your Toyota* has a drivetrain capable of taking a beating". Fixed it.

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

+enigmaPL Well it's a toyota so you know. You can't really break one.

[@RussellRobinson77]

Proof that you can have fun in anything with a motor

[@PatTheRiot]

Im on my way to drill my exhaust rn bra TF **BRRRRRRAAAAAAAP PAPAPAAPAPA * LOL

[@roberthuffer6591]

I have a 2015 RAV4. I suddenly feel inspired.

[@MoeJae86]

2018 for me, I know what you mean!

[@1pcfred]

I was happy to see that no Lenos were injured in the filming of this video.

[@alexrex20]

two videos in one week? is it Christmas already!?!

[@VisualOverland]

+alexrex20 nah it's Chwithmath..

[@matthiaslachmund3303]

+alexrex20 product placement

[@aaron___6014]

+Matthias Lachmund yup, ad vert isement

[@andrewipp426]

Gotta love Jay Leno...the man does things us mere mortals can only dream about...!! Driving the LA riverbed lanes, beach driving. He is my hero!!

[@tulrob]

Where Jay turned onto the beach is the place where they filmed the Rockford files back in the 70s. James Garners trailer was parked just to the right near the wall where Jay turned onto the sand

[@ElusiveMasquerade]

My day is always better when I see a new episode of Jay Leno's Garage. My favourite show on the internet!

[@audiwankenobi361]

So why exactly was the water in that "river" pee yellow with a greenish hue?

[@wesleynaylor9853]

+Audiwan Kenobi Algae

[@audiwankenobi361]

Oh,thanks.

[@audiwankenobi361]

Seriously man?...it didn't look like that when Eleanor was blazing thru leaving the whirly birds behind.

[@johnsmith-ed2tx]

Lol. Toilet stuff ends up there. One way or another. Not sure if it's suppose 2. But I exercised on that slopped wall n my nose don't lie. 

[@roywhiteo5]

+Audiwan Kenobi at some point, it was horchata

[@carlozmrc]

I was waiting 8 minutes for the "skip" option on this commercial

[@carlozmrc]

Lol

[@bdseidler]

Hey Jay, I've watched your show for years and no one puts one on like u do. Thx for all the entertainment.

[@Pringlepeak]

This is just an 8 min Toyota commercial.

[@TimSpeciale]

so what

[@roywhiteo5]

+David Lulham if youre so unhappy with it, unsubscribe and leave

[@mattclose1439]

+Peter Novotny Would you rather pay to have the channel available? I sure as hell wouldn't.

[@zshadows]

+Peter Novotny Agreed. Feels way too scripted and produced compared to his previous videos. Kinda surprised he didn't "randomly" remark on how "grounded to the ground" the car felt.

[@chrisallot66]

+Peter Novotny He doesn't do things like this often, and when he does, it's still entertaining. He probably talked about the car for a total of about 40 seconds. Why you even feel the need to point out that ''It's a commercial'' when anyone over the age of 15 can realize that is totally beyond me. Toyota payed Jay to film this. Unsubscribe.

[@TexasRevving]

2 uploads in 1 day? Mondays aren't so bad...

[@GottliebGoltz]

Thank's Jay. Rally has been getting more & more of My - KZbin time since I found it here.

[@BegoneJonah]

I get the impression that this show is the one Jay Leno always wanted to do - not the Tonight Show.

[@jameskingston]

Haha this is awesome.

[@roadpanzir]

Jay, thanks for posting a rally car! Not many folks are even aware of local & WRC events!

[@Marauder252]

Rally has sucked really bad since they stopped Group B, give us back the real high power rally cars!

[@uckyl13]

this is the reason i subscribed,,, i wish jay leno can let me tag along next time

[@walterpalmer2749]

Jay, don't hurt the environmentally sensitive LA river ecosystem of concrete, grocery carts and derelicts. They had to close you down.

[@supercooled]

Cool new video, Jay and crew.

[@VisualOverland]

Best way to get around LA, the LA river... So freaking accurate!

[@martinzelaya5875]

Awesome video. Looked like lots of fun! Keep it up Mr. Leno

[@Muhlogan]

Just one big commercial

[@srtneonalex]

yea I kinda noticed that too

[@FSXgta]

Then his entire garage is a commercial

[@Tony240zt]

+MuhLogan The kind I don't mind watching

[@fehmanahsrafi7143]

+Tony - Diana Fruzza I kind of agree

[@NeAZ]

+MuhLogan It is only a commercial if you buy a Toyota RAV4 afterwards.

[@ericgrochowski7317]

Cool, great coverage for our sport! Really looking forward to welcoming and competing alongside Ryan, co-driver Christina, and the Rav4 in a couple of weeks at the Big White Winter Rally in Canada!

[@ChadBobington]

I saw this car compete in the Prescott Rally this year. It was the only car to consistently spray us with gravel.

[@IchibanMoto]

ps- Jay previews the WRC rally stages for 2016 ;)

[@StephaneLeclair]

+Ichiban Moto That would be BADASS!!

[@IchibanMoto]

+Dick Fageroni I'm a fan of cars too !

[@StephaneLeclair]

You should build a rat rod after you finish your cafe racer!

[@krisraps]

When Kristaps mentioned the new vehicle design it peaked my interest to work with the team. Drive eO brings the future into the present with the most capable vehicle ever to grace Pikes Peak that has the opportunity to win overall. I have full confidence in the team that we will succeed. If the numbers that are on paper equate to real world numbers, this vehicle - in ideal conditions - should be capable of a race time below nine minutes." The eO PP03 is currently being assembled in the workshop in Ogresgala Pagasts, near Latvia's capital city Riga, and is expected to undergo first testing in May. Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is the second oldest motor racing event in the United States of America. The race is run on a twenty-kilometre (12.42 mile) course with 156 turns that begins at 2,862 metre (9,390 feet) elevation and finishes at the 4,301 metre (14,100 feet) summit of the Pikes Peak mountain in Colorado Springs, USA. About Drive eO Drive eO provides bespoke electric and hybrid solutions for high performance low carbon vehicles - complete prototype vehicle development, electric drive train integration, high power electric motor controllers and custom lightweight battery packs. The company has produced several technology demonstrators, including the first electric drive Dakar rally car and a string of electric supercars for the Pikes Peak hill climb. About Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) Founded by Spencer Penrose in 1916, the PPIHC is the second oldest motor race in the Western Hemisphere and is one of the few races in the world that encompasses nearly all forms of motorsports in a one day event. Every year vehicles ranging from motorcycles, ATVs, sidecars, Big Rigs and 1500 hp purpose built Pikes Peak racers take on America's Mountain on the last Sunday of June.

[@AllKidsOutNow]

I just saw this thing on I-5 northbound last weekend!!!!!

[@thedge7]

Looks like Toyota is picking up the tab this week...

[@TimSpeciale]

eh, I'm not paying cash, I'll pay this way

[@brook316]

+MeatyPotato Cactus There's a law about nondisclosure. I think that's the main point...

[@sonictech1000]

Better them than me.

[@zshadows]

+MeatyPotato Cactus Is it really free content if I watch ads over and around the video all the time?

[@TimSpeciale]

brook316 lol, what law is that

[@pedrof830]

Who would have thought the civilized RAV4 could be a rally car?

[@tdolan500]

Not anyone who is familiar with actual Rallying.

[@alexanderrosales7675]

+Terry Dolan Rallying hasn't been anything serious or exciting since Group B was banned.

[@t3h51d3w1nd3r]

+Billy the Kid i take my hat and monocle off to you sir

[@THEBOULDER236]

Thank you Jay that was a great video :)

[@avmerhar84]

I don't care how staged this was...Jay, never change.

[@AustrianAnarchy]

IIRC, I just saw that LA river scene on Grease last night. Wasn't it also in To Live and Die in LA, as well as Terminator II?

[@neilmccluney4931]

And drive (2011)

[@llib90630]

+AustrianAnarchy cigarette day dreams vid

[@elizabethcherry920]

since retiring Jay needed to find something do, he should have done this years ago,great video and yes I pay the $1.99 to watch his show from CNBC,its cheaper than cable

[@ThatSwedishGuy]

Wow rally in Europe is so different then in the US. our rally has a great history

[@AdamMidghall]

Totally agree. It's a different world here in Europe. Not a fan of the American stuff

[@TheBlkzenki]

+The Swede We don't have one bit as awesome rally history, but these guys where mostly just fucking around.

[@ryanspalding6252]

+The Swede Rally in europe is the king! Lancia, audi, alfa romeo, peugeot the list goes on. I think american rallies have better trails in terms off off-road but in terms of cars/difficulty of courses, european rallies are the hands down winner.

[@twisted__z487]

+Ryan Spalding I think Japan is king . Toyota, Nissan ,Mitsubishi ,Subaru,Suzuki

[@ThatSwedishGuy]

Maybe at cars for rally. but not at rally as a sport, thinking of it. Not even king at cars, Ford Opel so many more. Not many Japanese in the old days of rally, well not even in the new days

[@Prairielander]

I like how the sign says primitive road. Most roads are worse than that in rural Canada yet they have no warning.

[@vibingwithvinyl]

Hello from Finland. This is not rallying.

[@tdolan500]

Hi from Ireland, I know right? You should see what they call rallycross.

[@LazyPerfectionist-t1h]

Hello from New Zealand. I kind of agree

[@fran.villamarin]

Hi from Argentina, you are absolutely right!

[@benjohn626]

+Mawerick77 Hello from America! Im embarrassed. This was a terrible commercial.

[@Logan-ty4ib]

+Mawerick77 Hello From Germany, this is rallying. But on a different scale. Enjoy the video and enjoy people who love the same thing you and we all do.

[@sebastiaoverissimodasilva9852]

EXCELENTE POSTAGEM,BY THE JAY LENO'S GARAGE .

[@dirtymouthdon]

That was great fun. when can we go again????

[@Calisweetheart21]

CHEAPEST WAY TO RACE?!? base price for a rav4 say $25k, suspension work and roll cage say $4k tires get 90 miles?! Yeah doesn't sound cheap to me LOL.. You can buy a RZR 1000 and have tons of fun in that!

[@NovaScotiaNewfie]

Or a racing go kart.

[@Mooselover1011]

+Calisweetheart21 Okay, but you don't need to get a Rav4... You could technically go rallying with a $1000 E30... It can be VERY cheap in comparison to other forms of auto racing. When you're talking side by sides, and ATV's, and go karts, I'd hope they'd be cheaper since you're getting a lot LESS of a product. Rally can be very cheap to be competitive. Not on world stages, but in local, and state wide events.

[@Calisweetheart21]

that's true :)

[@stevenpdxedu]

+Calisweetheart21 We mustn't forget that was Jay Leno's view of "cheap". If you could afford to rally in a Bentley, yes, I suppose a RAV4 rally would seem pretty economical. But there are all kinds of cheap auto sports, auto cross, rally, even some drag cars aren't too spendy. Just find some like minded friends and have a good time. Mud anyone?

[@mattclose1439]

+Calisweetheart21 You can buy a $1000 corolla, put a spec cage in and go rallying, thats what he means. Jeez people use your brain.

[@swsephy]

This was cool. Way better than the crappy videos Racer put up for Ryan.

[@luvperu1]

Looking good Jay !!! WOW....AWESOME RIDE!!! I thought about buying a RAV4....looks like is would holdup after I see what you did here....

[@spechti2045]

Nice video jay, i love rally too

[@aneebaba06]

Sounds like this is old from the comments but first time I've seen it - it was excellent!

[@torod213]

+aneebaba06 No it's not excellent. This is an advertisement and it's terrible for Jay to be doing this stuff.

[@TimSpeciale]

+torod213 why? he doesn't owe you anything

[@andershifdt6847]

Nope, he doesn't. Bur if nobody were to speak up and everybody just kept saying "oh what a wonderful advertisement feature", he will obviously just keep doing those just to make a shitload of cash. I want Jay's channel to be a pure, interesting garage show about Jay's cars and other INTERESTING stuff. If you want ads, I'm sure Toyota has an official channel. Meanwhile, I will be using my right to speak my opinion, thank you.

[@TimSpeciale]

If the channel turns to crap, there is no audience to advertise to. This is how the Internet works

[@torod213]

+Tim Speciale Exactly right. Are you arguing with yourself here? There is no faster way to turn to crap than to just post sponsored content all the time. Look at Autocar. When Sutcliffe ran the show, they posted vids that got anything from 200.000 to 7.000.000 views. Now they are just posting advertisement bullshit, and none of it is getting much more than 10.000 views. It's pitiful, and the Autocar channel will simply die. I don't want that to happen to Jay's Garage as well.

[@ap-uf6uc]

Those were some great place to be driving through.

[@BlakesWrld]

Cool race car

[@LifeInElSalvador]

Jay is always fun !

[@PHAT50CHEVY]

another good one thanks Jay

[@mikeday62]

I've actually been to the real peaks pike before, and that's one hell of a pike.

[@hashbrown1969]

Lots of haters on this video. I enjoyed it. Thanks for entertaining me at work, Jay. ...For free! !!

[@stevensuperrainbow3821]

I want to see a Video about his bugatti type 57 ! It is such an beautiful car!

[@fehmanahsrafi7143]

nice shirt I think you wore had somthing like that when you where racing the toyota celica

[@yuanzichen5597]

3:39 See the black stripe under the car? Visual Effect on cheap lol.

[@PatTheRiot]

*Arrives to work jumping the curb doing 50mph, doing a 180 handbrake on the pebbles and reversing into his spot, waiting for the dust cloud to slide away before he gets out* "Holy cow johnny new car?" -"Nope just changed the shocks" -"GTFOH" lol

[@FormulaWhine]

Good to see Jay wearing something other than his trademark jeans and blue shirt 😁

[@christiandaley3009]

Do a vid on the paramount marauder. I would really appreciate it!

[@stevemack389sm]

that was an awesome video Jay Leno I was very surprised when I heard about basically the Toyota rav4 rally in addition basically is all stock, basically the stock Toyota rav4 all you need what are a few things taken out and a few things added to but for the most part you really don't have to do a lot to make a rally car and to be cheaper behind someone could actually just put better tires and rims on for traction and stuff but different terrain and go rallying, but I think this was a great video I like that a lot!!......

[@moonlighter6]

CHALLENGE - I-90 'Homestake, Montana' through 'Lookout Pass, Idaho' and beyond trip. Did it October 2013- respectful weather.

[@ferrettankror1]

Look up "Prescott Rally" if you want to see where the desert parts were filmed ;)

[@stevesalt2921]

Great Vid.

[@FirstToken]

Notice at 4:33 in the video, driving down the road at ~6000 RPM and .... zero MPH on the speedo. ;)

[@scottsather1041]

What do you do about the traction control kicking back in at 25mph?

[@DomRivers67]

TBH, how close to stock depends very much on the class, some are about as close as a NASCAR car is and cost millions, but at least they have these more accessible classes

[@llonewolff]

Jay you should make a video about rally group B cars like the Lancia delta integrale or the Audi quattro. So much rally power in them cars.

[@RaiHari6426]

Great Video!!!

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

Is it actually legal to drive on the LA river?

[@johnsmith-ed2tx]

no. entrances are locked.

[@cup_and_cone]

It's LA, just pay the $$ for filming permits and the river is yours!

[@hazbutler]

+Vic Vil Wrong. The entrance to the river under the sixth street is open and anyone can drive down there. Permits is what'll stop ya.

[@johnsmith-ed2tx]

From Maywood to long beach, it's completely locked. I ride my bike on that stretch on the daily. But I think most of the filming takes place in the area you mentioned, so I believe u.

[@scottthompson9633]

What is that big black oval thing above the windshield, on the roof of the rally car? Looks like some kind of air intake, maybe cause there is no A/C?

[@tdolan500]

Bingo.

[@SethDoubleD]

Notice there's a piece of window missing for the front doors. Without that roof scoop dirt would come in through those. It works by funneling that air inside to make the pressure greater inside than out, pushing the air and dust out.

[@abuzarsaleem4234]

I'm a rav4 owner and i'm proud....

[@regsparkes6507]

Jay , you are going to get Ryan arrested ! But I'd love to be there chasing right along side of you guys. LOVE rally driving.

[@bjsimon802]

They should modify the new 2019 Rav4, it is really tight around corners and has more technology under the engine with the better architecture design. Probably the best handling Rav4 yet, and the Adventure and Limited have torque Vectoring.

[@SlickRick214]

I want the struts & shocks that are on the rally vehicle, for my wife's Rav4. If anyone knows what they are let me know, I just want a softer ride with less body roll

[@motorszone3422]

I thought you had to mention in the description if you are doing a sponsored video on KZbin now. This is a Toyota ad is it not?

[@krisraps]

Rhys Millen returns to Pikes Peak driving a Latvian electric car] Ryan Millen's driving a one-megawatt electric car called the eO PP03 developed in Latvia.

[@Huli-Man]

"So you could basically buy a stock Raw4 and go out racing it it? yes" yes if you have a sponsor. I wouldst not buy a Raw 4 if i would go racing no..

[@tdolan500]

Rallying cheap?? I actually spat out my coffee!!

[@alexrex20]

+Terry Dolan it actually is very cheap. you should look into rallycross/rallysport in your local area. there are classes for your bone stock 1994 Corolla (or whatever you drive) that you will have an absolute blast in. the beginner classes don't even require a roll cage, just long pants, shoes, and a helmet!

[@tdolan500]

+alexrex20 Absolute bullshit. I build, prepare and run rally cars in Ireland. A entry level fiesta R2 will run you at least 30k and you will need at least another 30-40k to run it for a year. Want to play with the big guys? That will be 450k plus 10k a day to run the thing.

[@alexrex20]

Terry Dolan lol whatever you say bud. over here in the land of the free we have rallycross series with run-what-ya-brung classes where you can race in your daily driver. rallycross/rallysport is one of the cheapest ways into amateur motorsport, almost as cheap as autocross

[@tdolan500]

+alexrex20 Well in the developed world were motorsport is sanctioned by the FIA and run by the MSA, no cage, no equipment, no competition.
