Jay Leno tests a Porsche 918

You might remember the 'heftier' guy who is a presenter and was once a guest on Top Gear . To share his large car collection and his driving experiences with other disabled people, he runs his own YouTube channel . And now he has shared an exclusive Porsche 918 test. Car companies realize that this is a very successful form of promotion, so they offer Jay to occasionally test drive a new car. And Jay really liked this new hypersport.

All the essential details about the car were explained to Jay by ex-racer and now head of 918 sales in the USA, Daniel Eastman . He will explain to us the principle of operation of the 4.8-liter forked eight-cylinder drive with an output of 447 kW , which cooperates with two electric motors, and the car thus has a total output of 661 kW and a torque of 800 Nm , which is transmitted to all wheels. We also learn that the Michelin tires were designed specifically for this car and that every aerodynamic element has a reason. And also that it is a non-supercharged engine, which is rather exceptional today. Finally, Jay also gets a chance to ride the car in action, giving us a chance to hear the sound of the engine and Jay's assessment of the ride. Specifically, that the car is much better to drive than the Carrera GT (which, by the way, Jay also owns, you can see it at the beginning of the video).
