Then they drove it in anger, found out too late they lacked the skills needed to control such a car and crashed. Instead of acknowledging it was their lack of skills that caused the crash, they turned around and blamed Porsche for not having all kinds of electronic driver-aids built into the car (wasn't that the reason they bought the car to begin with?) to save them from their own stupidity.

I was driving a 911 back then and they treated me like absolute royalty. They even opened the museum for me, which was normally closed that day.

Last, it was really my lucky day, as I was able to get shots of a group of about ten spanking new 959's, protective plastic wrapped, sitting behind Werkes 1, awaiting shipment to their lucky new owners.

Unlikely Porsche will ever make an engine with 5.7 litres ever again. The GT will only ever go up in value now. Thanks Jay for sharing

[@stevoschannel4127]

You know good for Jay for his wild success,. Are we all jealous? Sure. But you know what, its really a testament to his character that he shares all his toys with us, he helps out veterans, and of course supports the hobby. Jay Leno, you are a national treasure, thank you sir.

[@Nof60twindriver]

"to spin out at 191, it was an interesting experiance" LOL understatement of the decade. Gorgeous car and great vid.

[@toph4242]

@jay leno's garage: Thank you so much for doing this video. Growing up in Massachusetts about 10 miles away from Foreign Motors West, I have been a long time fan of Jay. My grandfather was a car collector in his younger years, and we have bonded even more over this channel and the ability to see Jays collection. I am a Porsche guy, and the CGT is the ultimate "Porsche Guy Dream Car". Been waiting a long time for you to do it on the channel. Looking forward to watching this video with my 99yo grandfather (Socially Distanced of course). Thanks again for all the work you put into this channel and thank you Jay for opening up your car world to the masses. Best, Chris from Southboro, MA

[@callmejohn9664]

Videos like this are so good no matter where you are or what youre doing it just takes you to a relaxed, happy place. No obnoxious music or quick awkward camera shots. Vibing out

[@bghoody5665]

Amazing car. This and the SLR are definitely my 2 favourites from this time period.

[@nutthead4004]

2:23, a little crack in the front of the bonnet... Yes, he uses it like a car has to be used 🤘🏻

[@bbgt6299]

Only a longterm owner can truly appreciate it ! Well done Jay ! Congrats !!!!!

[@michaeldonaher2851]

Jay's crew is back you can hear it in his voice. Perfect car for a reunion. The best Porsche ever made.

[@kroffustsnail]

he also says part of his crew is back in the beginning of the video...

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Not according to Paul Walker.

959 is fairly close albeit doesn't sound as good.

Really glad that these supercars get to hands of a person not only with the money but also with the passion for the cars and actually drives them.

[@90aleify]

Thank you for this video Jay! It's awesome to see the crew back and be able to show this car as it should. Truly a special Porsche and one of my favorites. Hands down best way to start a day when you own one.

[@Sheridantank]

I would have a hard time driving a car that scrapes. When my car scrapes, I feel it in my soul.

[@21Piloteer]

"It's just a matter of holding the wheel like this..ayayayayayayahahaha......" lol!!!!

[@steelcityspeedshopj.r6942]

Thanks for getting this one on here Jay! Love you lots! Love that you share all this awesome stuff with me and all others to see

[@faerieSAALE]

Imagine owning this and driving it - then deciding, Ehh - I think I'll drive my 1936 Dusenberg or should I take out my Tank Car roadster for a spin!

[@mariojorgebell]

The sound of this car is amazing.

[@lucasono9948]

This car looks much more modern than it is

[@daliborzak2485]

"Porsche, what did you do with that Le Mans project?" "Yes."

[@nikolaykarpuzov5320]

If I could give immortality to one person, it would be you Mr. Leno. Thanks for giving hope to every poor little boy out there in the world, watching your videos so much years.

[@Dal97GLX]

I heard an unusual rev at an intersection in Rocklin CA several years ago. I told everyone in the car to shut up, something awesome coming up. Wife was “you’re weird”. Heard a couple more blips before I saw it in all of its glory.

[@slamdunktiger]

A fellow man of culture! 🤠

[@jeeshuamessengerful]

Pretty sure this is my favorite youtube channel! Jay is the man!

[@stefangrubesic2708]

While I partly agree you should check Harry Metcalfe, same type of car guy but British

[@solitudessilentgroove]

This video made me realize just how diplomatic and charitable Jay is, yet seemingly honest at the same time. He gives light criticism about the clutch, battery, scrapping, tight entry, tires and shocks, making these issues sound like no big deal, almost like it's your fault for not understanding, lol. Then he tells the spin out story, taking all the blame on himself with humility. And continues to praise the car and sweep it all under the rug with skill as we drool over the Carrera GT. Can you see how artfully he navigated the controversy? This is part of the reason Jay is so successful. He's not stupid and knows just how to handle wealth and fame without making enemies. Kudos.

[@winagainstthefeed9213]

I had never heard of Jay until a few days ago when I stumbled on the Garage shows while wandering around youtube. I’ve since binge-watched them all because he’s such an engaging and natural presenter. Long may he motor on!

I can’t see anyone else reviewing cars as great as you Jay! Always put a smile on my face just seeing you enjoy and know so much about every car! Keep on going! 😊👍🏻

[@rickriley6473]

It is a hoot to watch you enjoy the wonderful sound of this car! Your comedic approach to your explanations is great! Thank you!

[@craigspencer2927]

The sound, the glorious sound!!. Also like the sound of a 12 cylinder Ferrari, heaven to my ears!!

[@michaelfondaw6752]

I don't know jay... I kind of liked it when it was just you. To me it felt like it was just you and me bullshitting about the car, it felt more personal and I really liked that

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

:)

[@treatb09]

this is my 2nd favorite engine sound, my 1st being ayrton senna in his mp4-5. he pushed it to the end of it's rev limit and kept it there as much as possible. carrying so little about over revving n we have amazing footage and passion from the videos demonstrating a way of driving that few can handle.

[@gregsimon9061]

The sound is a symphony to my ears. What a beautiful piece of art. Jay you are the luckiest man in the world, someone that truly appreciates the wonderful world of cars. Thanks for sharing these great automobiles.

[@jakerubino3233]

Definitely one of the best sounding engines ever. Up there with the F-50 and 26B 4 Rotor NA

[@Pyotr_Velikiy]

I can't fathom why anyone would dislike this video. The best sounding car ever, way ahead of its time. Amazing.

[@DctorSkillz1]

I disliked it because I'm Paul Walker's wife.

[@lapirk]

Pasty white Conan fans pretty much.

This may be my favorite Jay Leno’s Garage video. The Passion, knowledge, and love for the vehicle comes subtly and clearly. This is a fabulous car.

[@supermanfl]

Absolutely one of my favorite videos on Jay's Garage. He said they went to Florida and did Talledega, caught my attention because of living in Florida. Im pretty sure its in Alabama, went and looked at the spin-out video and was amazed that he didnt wreck. thank You for sharing this excellant video

[@gregorymarsh9504]

OK SO GET THIS! I just so happened to leave a comment on his previous video asking to PLEASE do the Carrera GT already. Considering the show has existed for years, I was surprised he never had done it. And holy moly here it is! Something wild about that!

[@BT_aka_PET_ROOSTER]

I enjoyed the cell phone footage..... and the trips to the lift. But hey, glad you have your crew back working.

[@StAugMarketing]

A behind the scenes video would be discussing how you manage/maintain your collection. I know you have staff, but would be cool to see.

[@thomaswelcomer8443]

This has been asked for for Years! A lot of us are curious how you keep a fleet always ready for a drive...

Its called the "restoration log"... check his channel and just look thru the videos.. he had 1 last week...

Learn something new every day. I never knew the Carrera GT had color-coded center lock nuts with different threads for each side of the car. Thanks, Jay! Keep the great content coming.

Jay owns some wonderful cars. This one is off the charts. Please just keep doing what you are doing, Jay. You have fun and we learn stuff. It's a great deal all round.
