Jay Leno's Oldsmobile Toronado

[HuskyGT]

Okay. Am I the only one surprised to see this car added into the game? Some might not see it as a big deal. And lets be honest; the car looks pretty much stock. But some know what this car is all but stock.

I can't wait to see how this RWD Twin Turbo V8 1070HP monster handles with those skinny tires!

 

[Samus]

Corner, what corner? I'm going straight.

 

[sayba2th]

Don't know about surprised as we got the Tank Car previously. 1070hp though is some serious herbs under the hood. I would suggest multiple sets of tires

You don't go straight silly, you go sideways!!!

 

[shirakawaa]

I hope it won't be listed as a year 1966 model, otherwise it will be another Art Morrison Corvette.

 

[Snaeper]

Should make for an entertaining showdown with the Veyron. At least in a straight line...

 

[HuskyGT]

I hope it won't be listed as a year 1966 model, otherwise it will be another Art Morrison Corvette.

I thought of that. I don't want to see this car used for classic car championships by the A.I. Just like what happened with the customized Buick Special in GT4.

 

[Vic Reign93]

Call me crazy, but I can't wait to see if we can squeeze even more POWEEERR out of that cyclone of a motor.

 

[Tornado]

It's the Oldsmobile Toronado.



But with the entire point of existing (the FWD, personal luxury coupe aspect) removed. So meh.

 

[Grand Prix]

I want to convert it back to FWD and keep the same power.

 

[grashopper]

One situation where I wouldn't mind if they padded the car count to include a stock one.

That would be nice.

The stock one would be interesting to race. A big block V8 American coupe with its almost 400HP going right to the front wheels. The understeer would be off the charts, but it would be interesting nevertheless.

I agree, I'd rather have a stock one than this crazy thing. It's going to be undriveable.

A little info on the car... along with an astonishing stache.

Dennis' epic mustache!! Gosh... It's been years since I haven't seen this show. I remember that episode.

That thing is insane. Definitely looking forward to driving it. I love at about 18:30, the silver Corolla looks like it's getting impatient, and then the Olds just takes off.

Just like the Tank Car but, smaller

 

[ShiftingGears]

I would rather see stock muscle cars that I tune up myself rather than drive someone else's idea of what a muscle car should be.

That, and I don't really see the point in modelling cars without any competition from rival cars - I think field depth is what they should aim for. Unless I am wrong, and there are other tuner muscle cars that are going to be 1000hp whales.

 

[RetroJohan]

Another video.

 

[Ranman20]

Decrease the hp guys.

 

[Cosbuster]

Decrease the hp guys.

I don't think it's the same, at least not judging by how GT5 works. You can decrease the hp but you still end up with an insane torque "curve" .

 

[FoRiZon]

Handling a 500HP old Shelby mustang in GT5 is hard. Let alone the 1070HP Oldsmobile.

There's one last jay leno car that I always wanted, the ecojet. Search it up. Its a car with a jet, literally.

 

[tpark103]

Corner, what corner? I'm going straight.

We shall see about that. The car is 400lbs lighter than the Bugatti according to a video posted on YouTube with a C5 Le Mans engine.

 

[Farrow]

I think it's the most beautiful car in the game.

 

[tpark103]

I think it's the most beautiful car in the game.

Certainly on the list

 

[Shant J.]

I am incredibly happy that there's finally an Oldsmobile.
I just wish it was a stock version.

I'm glad it was finally added, when I first saw this beast years ago on TV I was amazed. It's an epic sleeper so glad it was put in. Also if it handles like the real version it should be an easy to cruise with car since Leno claims it is a easy to handle daily driver.

 

[Crumpet]

Is this a one-off or based on a standard/different car? If that is the case then I would much rather have something which doesn't have Jay Leno's name on it.

 

[Jay]

I would have preferred the standard factory version but I like the Toronado so I can't complain too much. It's nice the way it looks stock so I am happy.
