Jay Leno and Tanner Foust Take on 1000 Horsepower Nitro Rally Cross Vehicle | Jay Leno's Garage

[@lilsammywasapunkrock]

The look of pure terror in Tanner's eyes when Jay reaches for the drift brake the first time.

[@fullsenderman8291]

😂

[@fullsenderman8291]

To hear tanner speaking of the way the car behaves in the air is what us rc guys do very awesome

[@mrpute]

CODE BROWN CODE BROWN!

[@dsuperhawk]

Or when Jay asked to take the hood off to look at the motors.

[@hashiru86]

haha, yes

[@Huckenbacher]

petrol, steam, electric, Jay keep doin what you are doing. If it has wheels I'm watching.

[@Neojhun]

More Steam Engine videos would be nice.

[@Mj0636]

Thanks Jay for having every car possible on your show! 👍

[@quincee3376]

Great comment. He really does have a wide variety.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

If Travis Pastrana is involved, you know it'll be wild... Trust him to make EVs as exciting as possible, the man could find a way to make checkers an extreme sport.

[@pyrho1]

Tanner hasn't aged in 20 years

[@speedhunter7156]

Pastrana has been running these cars for a few years and Dodge is now on board being the first manufacturer to do so and a return to rallycross for the first time in 10 years....with guess who Travis pastrana

[@donpayton737]

This is like a giant full size 1 to 1 scale RC car. Lol

[@JonathanKine]

Agree 😂😂😂

[@michaelgates5323]

Sounds like it !

[@timw6596]

Just what I was thinking !

[@fredEVOIX]

@@michaelgates5323sounds like it and after 30s I'm already out couldn't care less

[@odanethomas1073]

That wouldn't be a 1 to 1 because the RC car would be the original size when people don't know the meaning behind curtain terms

[@kentdeubner4463]

I'm 67, and when we were kids, we raced slot cars.... Electric powered little race cars. We loved them! We always tried to find ways to go faster, but all we could do was sand the tires for traction and clean the contacts. But we couldn't make the motors better. We didn't understand the dynamic of instant torque, but it was cool. So, while I love my ICE Mustang, these HP EVs are amazing. Thanks for sharing another wonderful vehicle. Very interesting.

[@greg_j4043]

EVs are BIG slot cars. It amazes me that we didn't exploit their PWR sooner.

[@ronfarnsworth7074]

Strombecker!

[@aussie2uGA]

I'm 57, grew up on ICE, and love Tesla power now. People who say "they have no soul" still seem to enjoy the thrill of rollercoasters.

[@plane_guy6051]

Yep, same here. When I was a kid back in the '60's, we had a blast racing slot cars, and I always thought it would be cool if one day there would be real electric cars like that, and now they're finally here and actually were back in the '90's, but for whatever reason, GM cancelled the EV1, but they're here to stay now, like it or not, and they'll continue to improve in leaps and bounds.

[@ronfarnsworth7074]

@@greg_j4043 Battery tech is maturing..

[@lavonwatson8814]

A little tougher being in the passenger seat isn't it Tanner? 😂 And, thanks Jay for such great variety on the channel.

[@rickrasmussen5637]

Watching Jays face go from old guy to teenager while driving is priceless!

[@nfsrome]

Tanner has a lot to do with me being a motor head now, growing up i watched him absolutley rip a evo x down a mountain ski pass with my dad on u.s top gear. Ever since then i wanted nothing less than to ensure i had a fun car in my life at all times. Thank you for all the good memories Mr. Foust

[@JonathanKine]

Cool ride 1000 HP and 2800 pounds!! Wow!! That will book!!!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

Jay scared the crap out of Tanner😂 I love it!

[@Jeffgordonfan24hesthegoat]

You take a 1000 hp ride with a 70+ yo 👴🏻 😂

[@williamsherer2580]

Appreciate the diversity Jay presents he's so knowledgeable about All forms of transportation.. He's wise in understanding the political environment and skilled in avoiding the pitfalls. Keep up the great job!

[@bruisersdilemma354]

Oh just STFU, will ya. And ef politics...It's what's destroying this country

[@jamesconnors5653]

Jay Leno asks all of the questions I don't think of. Thank you.

[@Docstantinople]

Too bad Tanner doesn’t actually know about much of the engineering of the vehicle. They really should have had one of the vehicle engineers on the show. There were several questions that Tanner couldn’t answer. I get though they wanted a recognizable face and name for the episode.

[@bluesky9093]

@@DocstantinopleI don’t know what video you were watching, he was very knowledgeable.

[@jessesteeltown]

@@Docstantinople tf? tanner knew wayyyy more than i expected him to and it didnt seem coached for sponsors sake, he actually knew and you could tell how passionate he is about it

[@Docstantinople]

@@jessesteeltown hey take it easy man, maybe you’ll make it through this.

[@neisjo]

Jay still has questions that drivers struggle to answer. 9:59 and then air cooled or water cooled 😂

[@richardvervoorn6626]

I LOVE my 2011 Mustang 5.0, 425 HP, 6Speed, but I appreciate all the tremendous variety of Jay’s channel. He’s entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. I hope he never stops posting all the ICONIC STUFF, open minded gearhead with PASSION. KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON, JAY !

[@bradzimmerman3171]

Not far behind you with my 19 standard cab f150-the worse the road conditions the better I have it- keep on truck’n Jay!

[@lenhister]

The one thing Jay Leno can't do is drive within the lane, no matter the car lol

[@davect01]

I too have noticed that 😜

[@moepower9648]

The cops just let him be American 🇺🇸. I want 2 be free. Let me drive on the interstate fast then the speed limit.

[@KartKing4ever]

He probably blocks the lanes for filming so some clown can't cut him off behind the camera car, ya know.

[@jr2904]

​@@moepower9648 when you learn how to form a truly coherent sentence, I'll vouch for you.

[@robertburt8922]

Yea, and doesn’t use the turn lane to turn. let’s inconvenience the vehicle behind me.

[@buckminsterfullerene11]

Always been enamored with Rally Cars. Once had a Volkswagen Corrado in the early 90s that resembled a RC(to me)

[@Steve757-fl1hd]

The look of terror. That first look on Tanner when Leno did a launch said it all - I’m gonna die. I bet Tanner Faust left his fingernails in the door handle. Now that was funny.

[@weeman1978]

The smile on Jay’s face is like seeing a kid with a new puppy. Love seeing a guy so enthusiastic and truly loving what he does. Thank you Jay for sharing all you do with us!!!!

[@stephenullman4534]

Loved his smile in this car when he felt the thing take off. First time I've seen him smile like that!

[@aztronomy7457]

I really liked Tanner on Top Gear USA. The segment where he drove the Porsche through downtown Los Angeles was so sick.

[@viperfritz4618]

The real American Stig!

[@josephdoyle9865]

Great to see a NitroCross car featured and to see Tanner entering the series. Travis Pastrana has put so much work into creating this series and making it exciting to watch and drive. It's RallySuperCross that attracts both Rally and SuoerCross drivers.

[@theestate12]

Inviting Tanner to your garage is terrific.

[@sbrent284]

I would argue this is one of your best episodes........Jay Leno beating on and having fun in an electric vehicle really feels like a merger of a sort between old school and new school....and it was all free of politics.....awesome

[@fleetgt]

Hate that EVs became political. Carburetors vs fuel injection was never did this bad. If it's a rad car it doesn't matter what twists the driveshafts.

[@irish223]

The scope of the show makes Jay Leno’s Garage the best vehicle focused show on KZbin. Keep on making these shows.

[@stevengreco1939]

Jay Leno’s Garage is my favorite KZbin channel!

[@mikesandrone663]

The smile that came on your face said it all!

[@bluesky9093]

Very impressed at how informed Tanner is about the car and his engagement with the company. Tanner is an absolute ambassador to the racing community in how he carries and presents himself. Jay please keep bringing us the variety of cars you do.

[@mikelewis4792]

Thanks Jay for making this stuff cool!!! Keep going!!!

[@gregmcable]

Jesus, what a trick piece. Look of joy on Jays face is priceless.

[@haroldbirge6881]

🏆Jay Leno🏆the king of cars and 🍀 Tanner foust👀awesome ✌️

[@S-T-E-V-E]

These races are crazy! I've seen a few on KZbin. I was doing the same trying to work out what Make it was!

[@speedhunter7156]

Well there is now a manufacturer in the series Dodge has joined

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Nitrocross is PERFECT for EV. It's like a man sized R/C car race.

[@speedhunter7156]

And they have great racing as well apparently good for 180 mph

[@anaphylastiks]

That's all we wanted, but the dollars.

[@CLCIII]

My first EV experience was with a Zero FX motorcycle. I enjoyed my Zero FX EV motorcycle the most of any of the extensive number of ICE bikes that I have owned and ridden. EV's are the future. The future is here now, and in my opinion, the future looks great! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

[@hapyharyhard0n581]

2 legends talking cars. ....love it.

[@01FozzyS]

All the years I've watched Tanner race, I don't think I've seen him this scared. lol

[@findadam12]

Tanner is awesome!! Enjoy watching him over the years!! So many car records he has set!! Amazing driver !! Jay is always great!!

[@justinh7099]

Nitro RallyX is EPIC! I've worked a few of these events and it's insane to see the speed, jumping, and bumping of these drivers. Highly recommend anyone local to a race to check it out!

[@charleshulsey3103]

I've been into electric RC cars for thirty years. It's awesome to see the trickle up.

[@jamesgrant]

I love that they are just rolling through the neighborhood.

[@troys75]

Awesome episode. As soon as i saw it was Tanner with this car i knew it was a good!

[@stephanielight4161]

Keep on doing the voodoo that you do!!! I Love ALL the wheels you present on here, be them electric or not! Thank you! Keep 'em coming Jay!

[@moparts52]

seeing Tanner nervous and a bit scared as Leno smiles as he goes faster is sooooo Great

[@StalePhish]

What a crazy sound! It's like straight cut gears but without the drone of an engine. Can't wait until this tech trickles down into just normal stage rally like ARA and WRC. It will open up a huge amount of new areas people can race, that can't happen at all right now because so many residents of the towns would complain about exhaust noise

[@allmightygreat1892]

Hes driving a big rc car.

[@philipweaver2774]

We love EVs. We just don't like be mandated to buy one. Bring the technology and make it affordable. Don't limit internal combustion

[@WoodsPrecisionArms]

Tanner Foust has some of the biggest balls in motor sports - when he did that world record jump, that was insane

[@CheekyMenace]

Tanner is such an amazing driver and a good personality! This was a fun episode to watch.

[@JerryC25]

Fastest thing anyone’s ever experienced. Jay causally “yeah it pulls good” lol

[@Chrispbacon94]

Tanner Foust fills the Ken Block size hole left RIP and I loved every minute. Best episode in a while for me!

[@icare7151]

❤another great J-walk & drive awesome video. Thank you!

[@evalonious]

The modern man cave: Jay peers under the hood of this electric and comments, "Wow, the size of those copper cables are impressive." 😂❤

[@CheesusSVT]

We Love you Jay. ❤Thank you for making a difference...❤Love and Light 🌟

[@PorscheSC]

Jay, you should buy one of those! Seriously. It screams YOU! Thanks for sharing that experience with us.

Best Jay quote: “What a lot of fun this thing is!!!!”

[@ThizzRyuko]

Thank you Jay, keep doing the variety of cars and etc

[@Henry-sk2dr]

Jay Leno is an automotive pioneer. He dabbles in steam, gas, electric, turbine etc. Jay likes anything mechanical. Ive learned a lot from his shows over the years..Keep on keeping on Mr. Leno. 😊

[@BimmermanF800GT]

I find all of Jay's videos fun and informative.

[@Yologolow]

Thank you jay I've been watching since I was 12 now almost 25 amazing content

[@sumo_steve45]

Jay is FINALLY learning not to talk over his guests.... finally. Well done Sir. Perhaps I should visit more often and enjoy more episodes now.

[@mikeashbaugh7773]

Jay!!! You were having a blast!!! I laughed so hard watching!!!! So awesome!

[@TheClampettmobile]

Fantastic! It's great that you can drive a full race car on the streets. So cool!

[@Mindseye1]

Looks and sounds just like the video video game dirt rally race

[@KJRob30]

I miss seeing Foust on TGA. He's a great presenter.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

Garage is an understatement. Mr. Leno has a museum.

[@melissaolson2517]

As an automotive professional working in an environmental protection capacity, and a lifelong race fan, I approve of this form of racing! It looks like fun! You go, Jay! Let the nasayers whine. The whine of this car will surely drown them out! To me, it feels like someone took RC racing to full scale! Very cool. And to Mr. Foust, cool on you for pushing the tech. Jay certainly knows that automotive history is a story of technical innovation. Never stop innovating. Never be too afraid to try new things.

[@graysenfox3600]

If you’ve watched the Hoonigan videos it’s hard not to yawn at their footage of this car in action but exciting from a racing perspective for sure.

[@dlove32002]

Great video, I remember when working in auto part stores when Optima started selling their batteries now they are doing cars. Very informative, thanks.

[@JDMdrifterboy7]

Jay Leno sees another man working and immediately helps out. Respect.

[@garymcaleer6112]

Very educational. I learned some things I never knew, especially the braking in mid air.

[@NilesGimp]

Don't pull that handle!!! This was a fabulous video. Thanks for the good work!!

[@KB6YAF]

After you guys got in, I thought I saw a version of the "Flux Capacitor" in the back between the seats!!!

[@momnc4721]

Thank you, Mr. Leno for another amazing EV car review and a special shout out to Tanner Faust one of my favorite drivers🙏🏽

[@gizmobowen]

Looked up Magelec Propulsion (name on the motors) and found an electric motor manufacturer based in Houston, Texas. That's cool! I figured the motors were something exotic, like a Koenigsegg. Great to see an American manufacturer involved in EV racing.

[@Islandlazy99]

Jay, I became a fan of you when I seen you on an episode of Sanford and Son. Do you remember,, you played a guy with VD? You’re a legend Jay!!!

[@vahidvahidnia1643]

No lie, this is probably the most entertaining thing I’ve watched.

[@KingofUrasus]

Amazing content. Love your enthusiasm for a car even if it’s not a car you would buy!

[@kenchanaud]

Jay like's a wide variety of different kinds of cars. That makes the show more interesting.

[@jeffharrison5265]

That was super cool. Looking forward to seeing how electric racing evolves.

[@ShawnRomines]

This is fantastic!! Thank you for sharing.

[@efeezhee4088]

Jay and Tanner need to make their own tv series. Most impressive is how fearless Jay Leno is behind the wheel. He wants to get it to slide.

[@beardown6574]

That sounds wild! Look at Jay whipping that thing around lol

[@markp44288]

This is basically a giant RC car you can sit in. I'm all for it. Looks awesome!

[@dennisrobinson4588]

Good to see Tanner again, he still looks like a kid. The noise is grating, not the elegant sound of a V12, or the thumping sound of a V8. Not sure if I could get accustomed to that sound. Thanks Jay for an interesting show, I like the fact you bring many different perspectives to the automotive scene. God bless you.

[@davicrocket7267]

Ite crazy how fast time flies I remember tanner when he was so young from the American top gear. Jay on the other hand is aging like a fine wine no can afford

[@toomanyhobbies2011]

Good application for electric. Kinda like drag racing on a 1/4 mile track, when there's enough time to recharge or swap out the batteries.

[@jt_smee]

Jay looks healthy here. Wondering if the last several were filmed after his accident. Keep on Jay, keep on.

[@westcoastwoodsman2289]
