This is what I love about this show(other than my wife leaving the room when I put it on). There's no prepared questions and polished interviews here its just off the cuff and a couple of guys talking and geeking out over cars. Cant beat it.
The quality of Jay's interview skills. Two knowledgeable men discussing a shared interest to share with others. Got to love it. I definitely love this car. Wonder if my wife would mine if I sold her to buy it?
I love it when the person speaking about the car is well informed and passionate. Great video. Thank you so much for bringing us content like this free of charge Jay.
Love the conversation on the freeway:
"IT'S NOT REALLY LOUD AT ALL!!!!!'
"YEAH, IT'S PRETTY QUIET!!!!!!"
Compared to other similar cars I guess!
love these videos where the person bringing the car knows his stuff. It's almost as if you've gone through the entire design process with him.
The Ariel Atoms and Bac Mono's love child
Great xD
+Dr. Bananable Lector Except with amazing ride quality and the usable day to day torque of an LS. Downshifting is for the plebs, usable power in ALL the power band. xD
+Dr. Bananable Lector That is perfect!
ragasdapper I know of the notorious T1, I don't want a car that'll try to kill me the moment I start it.
***** Why not both?
I knew Shinoo "when" we served mass and were in boy scouts together. He was a good guy. The whole Mapelton family are good people!
I like that wee bloke - knows his stuff and a real enthusiast. I'd trust any car he made.
Good job, Shinoo. Well thought out and made with top quality, over-the counter components - that's the way to go!
Being a motorcyclist and sport car enthusiast since childhood, I'll take one!
Best part of this channel isn't just hearing about the cars, but hearing from the creator. Leno you're awesome, kudos from Brazil
I would LOVE this!!
Light weight, Great handling, Plenty of HP... Just a JOY to Play With!! WOW!!
And the LS-E-rod engine is EPA approved!
I've had that same idea for quite some years now. that's how my perfect setup for street would be. By going to a lighter spring and stiffer shock you can control the transgression just as well while still keeping a flat curve.
Cool! Not ideal for New York State, but more practical than a motorcycle. This is what a sports car should sound like! I would love one.
IT'S NOT A DAILY DRIVER JUST A TOY.
Shinoo looks like he's gone out fishing with that hat.
We call those reflectors "Cat's Eyes", in Australia. Love the show.
Same her in America.
I like the design of the mono, and I really like the designed idea of this new vehicle being a two seater.
Looks like alot of fun.
God bless
This is what a car should sound like. Beautiful.
Just imagine how fast this could be once you start putting mods on the LS V8.
No need for all that torque, in such a light weight car.
Some dude has TWO precision turbos on his LS V8 Draken. 1000 HP Lol
@@alikermani6731 Wouldn't it still be aero limited in terms of top speed? The guy who created it has a video of comparing the Drakan with the C8 (yes, the C-Eight) Z06 and he straight out said its aero limited.
@@hickyricky5913 yes open wheel is horrible for aero. But acceleration from 0-150 would still benefit from more power. In my opinion performance in the 150+ range is mostly just bragging rights. How often do people really use it?
2000 lbs and 430 puts this in Bugatti territory for power-to-weight. Adding more power would just make it more dangerous to drive
I like it. The additions of the passenger seat and windshield were a good call. I can imagine it in candy red.
Many many years ago I buddy of mine had a 1967 Mustang back when it was "just a used car" and the only tool kit he carried (even on road trips) consisted of a hammer, a screwdriver (flat) and a spool of baling wire. As navigator it was part of my job to carry a 6" crescent wrench, "just in case".
Met him at HRE Open House. Great guy great philosophy!
Didn't know Aziz Ansari made cars 😂😂 other than that great vid !
+Ronery Tyrant Wouldn't be racist if he joked about mixing up a caucasian car builder with a caucasian actor. How is this different? If anything he jokes about the fact how he has trouble seeing difference between black people. Joking about a shortcoming is a way to critique yourself about that shortcoming, so I wouldn't call it racist. Trying your best to look for racism isn't constructive. This joke actually could be, even if it's not 'PC'.
Oh cool xD The interwebs is so sensitive nowadays, it's hard to tell at times haha.
+Alex Fahmy Animal on the head, manimal in the bed.
+Alex Fahmy LOLOLOL
+Alex Fahmy ...someday when you're old enough maybe your Mother will buy you one.
Jay.....I love the beige Panhard in the background...memories of my childhood!
240p club!
Love that it has a V8 but it doesn't look nearly as cool as the Atom, Mono, or X-BOW in my opinion. Sounds pretty good and I bet it's fun to drive. And I like that guy's hat, haha.
+swSephy | Sim Racing pfft do you even 144p bro ??
+Tigerlie it's looks like it should be in the water as opposed to a formula car
+Tigerlie The sound is all wrong, but the 430 hp is all right!
I would say it isn't quite as cool looking as those three, but it is a much nicer car, and more practical. If you want more stunning, look for the picture online of a rendered yellow one with front and rear wings. It looks awesome. I'm sure they'd build it on request.
+Rottensteam You're right it needs a big loppy cam.
Welcome to another episode of Jay Leno's Garage, Pandemic edition. Just came here to see the garage back in the time before the Covid.
Love the sound it makes..Nice video :)
What a fantastic car at a fantastic price!!! Great blending of LS and Porsche parts and just a hint of Lotus and Mono type design elements!!!
I love your suspension camera👀🙌🏻too awesome to watch geometry 🤓
Shout out to Shinoo for rocking the bucket hat and shades, I always wonder how Jay can ride around with no hat and glasses in California and not look like a leather bag.
Jay, excellent as always. I still miss the burnouts!!
this is the ultimate car,good fuel economy,fast [9 second ,140 mph 1/4 ] nice ride.Can't beat it.
This vid and the car is awesome!!!! Love it. I want one instantaneously.
cool video Jay!!
Jay Leno is so cool!
I just bought this car! I'm still in awe.
Congats! I was watching the auction. Awesome car and you got a good deal!
@@robertmcmanus4710 Thanks!
off BaT?
@@ligmaballz1 yes. Bring a trailer.
This guy used to be my neighbor 😳😳 I remember he gave me a ride in one of his Lotuses when I was little haha
Wack
What a great car and show .
Not that I can afford it but 100k for what amounts to a super car is pretty reasonable,I'd like to see more performance stats on it...Shame Top Gear isn't around anymore,We miss you guys
Very cool video. I like the dude and his car. comparitivily it is a good value for a high end track car.
Great looking car. Congratulations.
Car nerds. Love you guys.
Just splendid.
100K for a Ls3 & tube chassis
+Liemciemdk89 My thought too.
+Liemciemdk89 The LS engine is a lot of the reason this thing is only $100K as compared to
$250K like the Mono. Exotic engines like the Cosworth that's in the Mono
come with a hefty price tag. And building a chromoly chassis like that isn't easy or cheap by any means, not to mention the amount of time and money spent in the designing and R&D to develop the chassis and suspension and tuning it all to actually make it work. As well as all the one off parts that have to be designed and machined. There's a lot more to it than just a cobbled together tube chassis and an LS.
+Liemciemdk89 It's based on the Palatov D2, so it's a race car with license plates.
+gus bisbal The developers of this car pretty much did buy a crate version of a porsche gearbox. unless they gutted stuttgarts finest that is. That be awful
+gus bisbal
www.gboxweb.com/
Quite easy to get a crate version of a Porsche gearbox
0:53 THAAAAAT was a seven fingers Jay.
It's alright I still love ya brother.
ive got an ls3 in my truck, pulls so hard 4th gear starts at 100mph. i cant imagine how fast it would be if it weighed as much as a gokart lol.
Thats a really nice car. Well done.
The shape, the sound, the color.
my kind of track day car , reliable and easy to work on
Looks like Jay taking his grandson out for a ride.. Lol
I thought the same thing. :D
That thing has to be a blast to drive!
I see a lot of negative comments about the cost. So has an LS3 engine , but are we forgetting about all the other parts? the mirrors look to be carbon fiber , Wilwood brakes, Porsche transmission, and that's just what I got from this video. not to mention the price of Labor to put it together. I think a hundred grand is for this car. I'd like to see a parts list
it's got a windshield. that made me laugh haha
The sound of that car is great, but so weird at the same time. It LOOKS like it should sound like a Lotus or something similar, small engine, high revving, turbo, etc. Instead it sounds like a Camaro. Unique mix.
well it is a ls3
+Velocity Labs i have the ls3 in my truck. sounds exactly like this.
yeah surpriced me too. I was expecting a high reving sound, even with the corvette engine in there, but instead it sounded totally mean hehe.
+Velocity Labs "it should sound like a Lotus or something" You mean sound like a Toyota Camry because that's what their powerplants come from.
+Mr. Mix Celica, but you got the brand correct.
Really looks like a fun car to drive
Awesome! That would be fun to own.
Boutique sports cars, Pagani in Italy use a V12 with a carbon fibre body, BAC Mono Carbon tub and F3 4 cylinder.
'Murica LS3 V8 crate motor, Cro-moly tube frame, glass fibre and Wilwood brakes
I wonder how many of these one off or custom cars/bikes that come in Jay winds up buying?
Pretty Cool!! Keep it up!!!
Hi Jay, please invite the Splinter wooden supercar and people behind it to your show. I think it meets your requirement of unsual car and it´s made in USA. That would be a very interesting episode. Cheers.
nice sound
LOVE IT !!!
Love those car
Sick car! Awesome
Beautiful looking machine.
Gawd that's dope AF.
Pretty cool car man!!!
What is the difference with the Deronda Sports Car showed here 3 years back? That has also an LS motor, Porsche transaxle, glass windshield and so forth and so on. Is Deronda Sports Car still around?
Love it!
Do the other 49 states have a special construction auto classification (as in calfornia) to register a car like this to drive on public roads? If not, how would you register this in the other states?
Love it! :)
I really like this thing, and the very knowledgeable designer. The way they built it you could drive 400,000 miles with little more than the scheduled maintenance (and maybe a head gasket), the performance and build quality are well worth the price IMO.
@Darth WheeziusLS engines have been aluminum since their inception except for the truck variants.
This thing is pretty sweet!
I like his line " You could take it on a road trip!". No trunk, no wippers, and no spare tire. It would be a short trip!
Definitely wicked!
Why is the front wheel a different design from the rear?
I can understand the different width, but why the different spoke number?
Looks like fun!
would love to see you get the corphibian on here. maybe you guys can get hold of whoever buys it in January
That thing is sweet! Looks WAY better than the Atom. But that's my opinion. Looks well put together from what I can see. Like the guy who builds it. Seems like a nice guy.
sweet sound!
It looks so dangerous and fun!
Seems like a very nice car to drive
shame the bolt heads were not lined up.... details.
p.s. Shinoo , thanks for being a car guy.
Does anyone know what happened to all the original videos from Jay Lenos Garage? Like 'Jay's Book Club', the 'Skinned Knuckles' segments, etc.
I know this is 3 years old but when I checked out the website there were no Mono's or Drakken's listed for sale. Guess they didn't go over too well as they aren't making them?
LOOKS LIKE FUN.
Hope you buy one Jay.
At 11:35, Jay refers to Bozz dot. They are known as Botts' dots after the engineer who oversaw their development. First installed in 1966.
The voices sound like they're talking down tubes or something, very weird.
+Alexander Rex Evensen oh good it wasn't just me! I thought my headphones were playing up
Their voices are coming in through both mics, sound guy isn't doing his job
it's reverberation. each guy is wearing a microphone which is supposed to pickup their voice, but it's picking up both voices.
This absolutely reminds me of a 2 seat Mono.
What a fun little toy. Nice that it just costs the "arm" and not the "leg" as well, he he. Can I get one with a matching trailer for umm, luggage, kids, mother-in-law, groceries, etc? Thanks Jay, entertaining as always. How about doing a true 'track day' with some "track day" cars? That might be fun.
Any chance you could do a feature on the Gordon Murray T-25?
sounds good!
for 100000k i think is resonably priced, shinoo looks to be such a friendly guy tha ti want to hug him
Ariel Atom killer? Looks like a blast to drive Jay!
you look good in that thing, Jay
A bit pricey but honestly it's not bad when you consider the labor and seriously, the quality looks pretty good. I always look for things to nitpick with cars like these but this and the Mono have a nice taste of engineering about them. Look at how far forward and low they mounted that v8.
I honestly find it hard to come up with a good reason to drop 100k on this particular car when there are other enthusiast level cars (few to no drivers assistance), BUT I'd still get one just for end to end state cannonball runs.
Love the sound of that engine. Aggressive but not overpowering.
Jay Leno, Your A Wild !!! And Crazy!!!! Guy!!!!..... Yes Siree. How was it to get out of that Vehicle? it looked like An easy car to get in to. I own a corvette and that's no party to get out of, I need to roll out of the door. That puppy had no door. Thanks for another one.
Pretty much a sand rail. But with an indy suspension set up. Pretty cool.
Looks just like a sand rail with a jet mixed with Indy body. Kinda cool I guess. I can see where the price is where it's at. Porsche transmission LS motor and Indie patent suspension. I bet this this handles GREAT.
Good stuff
