Leno & Osborne Get Hurled Forward in a Hybrid Hypercar - The EV-ergreen Porsche 918

Talk about timeless. It's truly hard to believe the 918 was released nearly a decade ago! It's both visually and technologically stunning, and if Porsche were to release it today, most people wouldn't bat an eye. Its design and performance has stood the test of time, as have its friendly rivals such as the LaFerrari and McLaren P1. Watch to see where Jay and Donald place it on the "holy trinity" podium!

That's a dream car and a dream drive!!! Thanks for these AWESOME videos, Jay and Donald.

[@michaelschneider-]

+1.. These two love Porsches all day long.. Man,,, Herr Donald knows his Porsche 918 ... Not surprising. .. Make my 918 in yellow metallic.

[@ChloroxBanana]

That 918 reminds me a bit of the car I learned to drive in - my parents’ 1971 Pinto. It was yellow with a brown interior, which was a special order. Yellow cars had to come with black interiors - at least in Canada - but my dad didn’t want a car with a black interior.

[@Kevin-si1es]

Another superb video from the 2 greats Jay and Donald keep up the good work looking forward to more videos kev from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

[@skipast75]

Hands down the best looking Porsche. Tell Jay he needs to wear a big gold medallion necklace if he’s going wear his shirt like that 😂 Thanks guys…. The banter really makes this show special.

[@thomassciaroni6942]

I liked the four cars in 2004,5, the historicity, 4 existing timelines.

[@crbourret]

Hoping to see you two fine gentleman next week at the Concourse!!

[@rickolson3114]

I doubt that elec cars will ever be considered the best in auto history... You don't experience what it's like to drive a 5-speed with that exotic sound.

[@denmark39]

Push it jay!

[@brandonburr4900]

Both are right as these will be classic collectables that will increase in value years down the road. Donald is correct that this beast has another personality when the roof co as off. The engine and exhaust note is magnificent and you will not experience that in this video sadly.

[@zapfanzapfan]

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how cars with a lot of digital stuff in them will age.

[@sturomain]

Is or was the king of 0-50 mph . 60 foots like a drag car.

[@Tmrfe0962]

Donald is quiet the gentleman…Jay is known for interrupting and Donald ignores it with such class.

[@P51]

Jay: Do you have hydrogen and LPG?

[@andrewrahn5908]

You never if the electric motors are in the hub, which is the secret/not a secret to why the vehicles have better control of the steering and the motors. I suggest that Toyota will be using in wheel electric motors that will increase the synergy of their products save money in the long run, improve safety with interactive steering, and utilize giga batteries

[@ryanpatterson9526]

It's a gorgeous car. I wish it was ICE instead of all that computer/battery crap.

[@JamesAllmond]

Nice car, and I get the ECO stuff, but, basically, when in E mode, it's burning coal...fix the fuel, fix the world...

[@clc2328]

Nah, the world needs a better pandemic, cut the population in half and you fix the world....all of it.

[@andrewrahn5908]

In the wheel electric motors, add safety for people who don’t know how to drive and utilize the high-performance motors better than any gasoline motor by itself. It’s the global positioning that is already in Toyota products was coordinated with those running caution lights not to control the car, but to give proof of the stupidity of the drivers who don’t know how to drive at high speed when they’re charged after the fact for the crimes that they committed before they even drove into the intersection. Most people do not even know how to cross four lanes of traffic safely. Surprise surprise, in wheel electric motors, combined with safety, features and global positioning would automatically be incorporated into safely crossing six lanes of traffic all in the same direction. One lane at a time.

[@clc2328]

wishful thinking....never gonna happen

[@Becausefamilycar]

How does jay manage to make the least engaging videos of the thing he is most passionate about I can’t get through a single video

[@ozahmed4523]

Not very suitable for a daily driver.
