In a remarkable twist, Leno presents a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado, the first front-wheel-drive American car in three decades. Originally designed as a luxurious vehicle, Leno transformed this car to achieve a monstrous 1,000 horsepower through the addition of twin turbochargers and a formidable 427 engine. The modifications respect the original design while enhancing performance, showing the versatility of classic vehicles through modern engineering.
The journey of the Tornado culminates in a passion for driving that resonates deeply with Leno. Each custom wheel, unique cooling system, and updated chassis reflects a dedication to maintaining the spirit of the classic while ensuring modern performance.
