Tesla Cybertruck And ATV, Corvette C8 Convertible To Feature In Jay Leno’s Garage

BY Brad Anderson | Posted on

A trailer for the latest season of Jay Leno’s Garage on CNBC has just been released and it is jam-packed with big-name celebrity guests and some very interesting automobiles.

Perhaps the vehicle set to garner the most amount of attention in the new season that premieres on May 20 at 10 P ET will be the Tesla Cybertruck. Yes, while the Cybertruck won’t reach production for quite some time, Leno will jump behind the wheel of the all-electric beast with none other than Elon Musk in the passenger seat.

Leno has been a fan of Tesla and Elon Musk for well over a decade. In fact, previously-unreleased footage of him testing a 2008 Tesla Roadster with Musk went up on YouTube earlier in the week (see below). While the TV host has a huge collection of gas guzzlers, he is also a big fan of new technologies and electric vehicles.

It’s not just the Tesla Cybertruck that will be featured in the new season of Jay Leno’s Garage as this trailer also shows the electric Tesla ATV.

Other epic cars set to star in the series include the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, Ford GT, and the C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible.

Leno also had the opportunity to check out ‘Thor’, a custom-built big rig that was sold for $13.2 million at an auction in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia late last year. The insane truck features two 13.9-liter Detroit diesel V12 engines arranged in a row and no less than 12 superchargers attached to the blocks. This results in a total of 3,974 hp.

Among the celebrities to be featured will include Tim Allen, Jon Hamm, Kelly Clarkson, and Matt LeBlanc.
