This car is a thing of beauty and is the most exciting Porsche ever made in my opinion, but obviously my comment was in jest as most people do not have 1.5 million dollars US to spend on a car f all things, even in the USA. I do believe that its development is a serious advancement, but it is not revolutionary as the principles of this car's design have been around for well over a decade. I do think it is the most beautiful hybrid available and would love to own one if I could raise the funds.

[@chrisnelson8450]

I support Porsche in everything they do. Because they have balls, bringing cars to whatever track and pitting said cars against whatever the competitors bring. Of course said competitors don't bring their cars unless they can get an unfair advantage in tuning to the track of their choice with unrealistically tuned cars and an army of their own techs and mechanics (looking at you, Ferrari). Porsche doesn't make excuses, they say "bring it". Oh, and if it doesn't quite live up to expectations, and the reviewer says so, the reviewer won't be banned from driving those Porsches (Right, Chris Harris?)

[@juanoyanedel1984]

Chris Nelson Top Gear, before jeremy had his contract not renewed by the BBC, they tried to put the 918, the p1 and Laferrari racing together to see which one was better or faster. The only company that said "alright, let's do this without any change" was Mclaren. Both porsche and ferrari put conditions to race against one another, so i dont think they would say "yes, let's bring it on". I love porsches, they are amazing machines but i think that if a company puts limits when they test their cars, then there's a problem with what they are making, but that's my opinion about it.

[@juanoyanedel1984]

Actually, yeah, i lied and i wanted to apologice to you guys. I had my information wrong. Porsche was the one that didn't put any conditions to race the 918 against the p1 and Laferrari. Mclaren wanted just factory cars and another race course, rather than top gear's one, and as usual, ferrari wanted a team of mechanic and a non factory car, a prepared one for the course. So yes, it was my mistake and im sorry for the inconvenience.

[@juanoyanedel1984]

One of the very few episodes that Jay has nothing negative to say. Absolutely gorgeous machine.

[@bheadh]

I own a 1999 911 Porsche Carerra Cabriolet manual 6 speed. The first year of the water cooled engine. Yes, I am bragging, as any respectable Porsche owner would do. I named the car "Otto" considering it's German heritage. It has barely over 103,000 miles on it & IS a daily driver. Because I do my best to try to take care of the car, the original clutch lasted for 100,000 miles. Interesting facts about Porsche & the 911; The reason the ignition is on the left of the driver is because all Porsche's are racers. Porsche race drivers(in the 24 Le Mans race) in the early days had a split second advantage over other drivers because they could start the cars with the left hand & leave the right hand free for immediate gear shifting. Out of a sense of tradition, they've kept this innovation over the years. Also, 75% of ALL Porsche's are still on the road! I don't know how many other car companies can claim that! The other 25% must've been lost in high speed collisions I reckon. Although Porsches are expensive, they're WAY less expensive than other "Supercars" like the Lambo.

[@ozziemitch1]

Nickolai Siegfried It was an innovation that has turned into a tradition. I believe that is what he was saying.

[@bheadh]

Aussie Roo Productions Exactly. I don't know how the statement could be any clearer. "Out of a sense of tradition, they've kept this innovation over the years." ...When 24 Le Mans races started in the early years, drivers had to have their backs against a wall & had to run to their cars. The Porsche response or "INNOVATION" was to PUT THE IGNITION ON THE LEFT as I explained in my initial post. ....NOW, it's "tradition." G'day Mate!

i dont care what anyone says, the 918 is way sportier and classier than the p1 and laferrari i also heard its faster than the p1, i'm not sure about the Laferrari tho

[@CorneliusSneedley]

Well, you keep asking what's my favorite thing about the show. So I will tell you. It is Jay's everyman approach to showing us cars we can drool over but never afford. Never once have I felt like Jay was rubbing my nose in the fact that he has all sorts of cars I never will. Now, I will tell you something I _don't_ like. This is not limited to this show, but it is something I saw in this video and have seen in a few others on this channel, and it is something that bugs me. When Jay first started out in television, he had to learn which camera to talk to. If he faced the wrong camera while speaking, it was considered a bad thing, and what is more, it would have been considered to be his fault. I can well imagine how difficult a thing this might be to learn while you are nervously talking in front of several cameras, and I think it is something I would have trouble with, to say the least. These days, however, it seems to be hip for the video editor and/or director to choose whatever camera they like while the subject is speaking, in some sort of attempt at "art," apparently. Also apparently, the person on camera is given no clue as to which camera is "live," as all the editing is done much later. So despite their experience, practice, and training, they are at the mercy of whatever video editor and/or director decide. I don't get this, and I don't much like it. In a normal conversation, when someone is talking to me, they look at me. If they spend a lot of time looking somewhere else while ostensibly talking to me, I get the feeling they aren't very focused on the conversation. Because, apparently, the conversation is not very important to them. I know full well that Jay knows all this, and I am not at all blaming him. I like Jay. :) I can only speculate as to why he allows this in his videos. I am leaning, however, toward "He is very busy and doesn't have time to personally oversee every bit of video that is released."

[@CorneliusSneedley]

YourArgumentIsInvalid Perhaps I should have been more clear. I did not mean when he is talking with other people. I meant when he is talking to us, the viewers, like at about 1:20, for example. Of course when other people are onscreen and he is talking with them, he should be looking at them, not "us."

[@MrDavez]

I just wanted to here the Rep,, say,,, "It's Berry Berry sneaky" I also like how happy he was at Jay's enjoyment of the car. It's like a happy kid sharing his favorite toy with his friend, and enjoying his friend liking it.

[@ICHDERTWEETY]

Armani Saeed where does it look like a Ferrari? You can clearly see its similarities with the Carrera GT. It definatly looks like a Porsche.

[@RickyJnum1FAN]

Yeah same here, I mean, I didn't really hate Porsche, but I didn't care much for them, I really thought they all looked too similar and actually a little dated every year, because they always looked like the previous generation. These past few years though they've improved and are really building nice cars, and they top it off with the 918 which sounds like a 458 on helium, and looks like an updated Carrera GT, I mean you cant go wrong with that combo.

[@paulfournier9579]

Ricky, yeah... I shouldn't say I hate them. I really just didn't like them. Pretty much for the same reasons you have. It was never a 'good looking' car...the 911 looked like a fast VW bug...

[@RickyJnum1FAN]

Paul Fournier Yeah, I mean especially when they're in the same market as some Ferrari's, SLR (back in the day) Corvettes, and what not its tough to look better than them, thats when price comes in and is basically whats kept Porsche around was being more affordable than most of the competition for what they're offering.

[@EKDrifter458]

FINALLY, I've been dying to see this one, I think I requested it to. I love the 918, the white one in the vid looks epic.

***** awesome dude i added you

[@chico305SIGMA]

I'm in love with the color combination. Dark silver paint with black wheels and yellow brakes and black interior with yellow stitching. My Favorite!!!!! 😍❤️

[@TroutWest]

I think it's HILARIOUS that Daniel Eastman of Porche considers the loudness of the vehicle to be a safety feature. LOL. That's classic. Tell that to California Highway Patrol in your civic.

[@NewDesignVinylGraphics]

I love how he's so happy and complimenting Jay on his heel and toe skills.

[@cup_and_cone]

With The Tonight Show no longer a constraint for Leno, any chance they can fire Adam Ferrara from Top Gear USA and give that roll to Leno?

[@bakha0888]

I'd rather have Rutledge Wood replaced by Leno...

[@davidmitchell5638]

no no not Adam Ferrara!! Rutledge yes maybe but i'm really getting used to them i love these guys.

[@Screenwriting]

It's fun to see how excited this guy still is about the car with that grin on his face.

[@maxmcbyte]

Jay, Here on Altair, humans were introduced to it in a movie known to you in the1956 movie "Forbidden Planet". It is real and is true as your North Star. We keep an eye on things considered relevant. This includes, traveling in a faster-than-light means. Though you are not yet there, your world has a different way of approaching this difficult creation. We know that you will eventually get there in your own unique way and are keeping an eye on you. We see your world divided and on the brink just like ours. FWIIW, we here on Altair IV very much loved Johnny! And then others came along and we shut it out. We were stuck but we never forgot you. Now, you come along with "Jay Leno's Garage" and in a strange way reminiscent of some of the things we like about Johnny. We are back monitoring you as you have brought the essence of the things we considered worthy, BRAVO!!! Please note, we may help you on other faster than light vehicles. If you are interested, we have unknown true story about the Krell that would advance Earth's people to avoid the collapse suffered by the Krell. To those on Earth, Forbidden Planet and Altair IV was movie fiction., it is not! The Krell reached a point where Quantum Biology combined with AI DOOMED THEM! Contact "maxmcbyte", who knows the detailed information on the collapse of the Krell A story/movie that will profoundly effect the course of humanity into a worthy future. Have a nice day...

[@ZERO-CAPACITANCE]

Loved it! What a fun and relaxing episode :-)

[@grrwuff]

...Porsche guy sounds like Gru... LOL

[@maximilianoquinones8236]

I wuz thinking the same thing!!

[@swalling22]

spot on with that!!

[@joshlegg8600]

grrwuff i fly to the moon, i shrink de moon, i take the moon, i sit on the toilet huuhh whaaat?

[@redmr2na]

Or Klaus from American Dad.

[@iamthesenate9124]

Gru sounds like Porsche guy*

[@Outerspaceswag12]

It's awesome how Porsche takes pride in their cars! This car is probably the best achievement out of the Laferrari P1 and 918

[@DonAmos_stories]

It looks better than the Koenigsegg, P1,Laferrari... Only Pagani cars make the same childish butterflies in the stomach. Its funny how people only look at speed as the ultimate measurement for enjoying a hypercar, these things are so expensive that people think ten times before driving it on limit. In all honesty they are made for eye candy, street prancing and picking up women. I was never a Porche fan, but this car makes me somewhat an admirer, it has the futuristic styling yet it still looks like it will take off at will.. Love the sound, the interior is not scraped, you get the full treatment.

[@lw216316]

Jay, Jay,....listen....YOU PUT IT BACK !!! Okay?....YOU PUT IT BACK. (and you can keep your 90 pound girl friend)

[@MyBeomaster901]

Yeah and it's free to put it back :)

[@SrgVerge]

;)

[@mzk6550]

I just can't get enough of these videos, thanks! Gotta love the Porsche. ☺

[@joshua6200]

I love american cars, but OMG....what an amazing and beautiful car!!

[@markettrader911]

joshua6200 American cars are gay as hell

[@jayjohnson3751]

I never owned a Porsche but this Beast here is simple amazing.

[@0917bobb]

Buy it Jay!

[@pwatom22]

outstanding engineering.. best of all worlds.

[@jessepinkman4150]

16:21 THAT LAUGH LMFAO

[@averyranum1234]

A man who truly loves his job

[@realtruth1988]

It's marvelous!

[@ynot5105]

Mr Eastman is VERY knowledgeable; ALL the answers, on his fingertips! Fantastic car; Jay drives it like he's advertising it! Fantastic sounding engine!!

[@SRAMEK]

I personally like it more than the P1 and I haven't driven none of those two. But the Porsche looks better, it has a better equipment, it's maybe a bit slower than the P1 but it propably rides better as well

[@SICsupraman]

Hey, Gru from Despicable Me lost some weight!

[@mandoserrano9411]

I thought I was the only one LOL

[@paddoww]

This is the car of the future, and ^^ what he said.

[@danielkassey970]

I thought the same!!

[@matt02468]

"it goes arrrghhhhh instead of ighghhhghghg" in regards to the lift kit. Jay you are one class act!

[@MAINFRAMELaboratories]

You can tell he is thinking that he is going to buy one

[@CeeStyleDj]

does anyone know if Jay wound up purchasing one?

[@MAINFRAMELaboratories]

CeeStyleDj Not *yet*

[@sebastianhalvorsen2462]

+CuffRox I believe they are all sold out, so he would have to buy it used.

[@blvckfiretrvpfire15]

Of course he was thinking that...whenever a car like this comes out & you have the $$$ to get it, you should just go ahead & do so because not too many other cars can compare

[@rousseau327]

The noise this 918 and the LaFerrari makes just puts the P1 to shame.

[@stevemazz3121]

Jay is so good at this.... He makes you feel like you are important enough to take along for a ride. Information in simple easy to understand terms... Sad at this point of my life I can see I will not be one of those more money than brains guys but nice to have one so down to earth share His life with us. Thank you Jay for the great videos.

[@2002RM]

Man, this dude Leno is the luckiest guy in the World. You get to do these amazing things and witness history in progress. Regardless of whether you like the Hybrid idea or not, or whether you have a strong opinion on the car, I'm sure we would all love to jump in this baby and put it through it's paces :-) Amazing car.

[@HeFilmsTheClouds69]

Thanks for not blocking this in my country.

[@craigcampbell1843]

Spends the second half of the onramp slowing back down to the speed limit. Incredible and so beautiful.

[@funkyromero]

Sorry bugatti veyron ... This is my new dream car now.

[@lopezandrs]

Looks like jay was starting to regret his desicion on buying the mclaren p-1. I mean the p-1 is amazing but the porche just seems to have something more can't put My finger on it but just more

[@legopunk2655]

As far as looks, for ME it's Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche (in that order). THIS car however is absolutely gorgeous. I imagine it turns corners like a dragonfly, and that paint........WOW!

[@moaski]

Are we going to see a P1 vs. 918 video soon?

[@reaperwaits]

that's gonna be epic when they do

[@raedsakly2463]

For me the 918 is the best car ever made

[@ianmangham4570]

Yes

[@pete6705]

After so many years, this is still my dream car. If I could be gifted any car in the world, I think it’s still this one.

[@JohnnyWrong]

By far the best looking of the "hypercars".

[@redfivemiata2872]

i have to disagree... to me the 918 looks to much like the carrera gt, very traditional, the P1 looks way cooler and more espectacular

[@IgorKolosha]

beto bianchini The P1 looks like an alien space ship, which I think is also really cool, don't get me wrong. The 918 is the more subtle hypercar of the bunch, but that's also why I love it so much. It doesn't scream "look at meeeee" the way the P1, LaFerrari, and Agera do. Just my personal preference of course.

[@felixarbable]

beto bianchini i dotn think you could call it pretty though, the porsche you could i think. i think id be a bit embarresed to drive something like the p1. it looks a bit small penis mobile esq

[@JohnnyWrong]

felix pinto Damn straight. P1 is "impressive", but it's basically hog-ugly.

[@redfivemiata2872]

i like the looks of the P1 better than the 918, i think the porsche design it's a bit boring to modern standards, that's all, it's undeniable pretty but it lacks the sense of occasion of its rivals
