Jay Leno's Oldsmobile Toronado

[ironman44321]

I was hoping it was a stock Toronado. My Grandmother had one for a long time. It was cool.

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.

That's crazy. Over 1000 hp, all going to the rear wheels (skinny tires at that), being an easy daily drive?

When my mother met my stepfather, he had a late 60's or early 70's Toronado. I was very excited to see it in the game until I read the description.

I would love to see a big engine in a FF car like the Tornoado or a late 70's Cadillac El Dorado. (the El Dorado need a long horn hood ornament option) (sorry, I'm from Texas)

Leno claims it is so who knows.

Jay Leno also thinks a 1931 Alfa Romeo 8C Monza is a good family car.

Isn't the Tornado Frontwheel drive?

 

[Tornado]

Drive conversions aren't uncommon. I've seen MR Silvias and Mustangs.

It was quoted in the video .. "this one has been converted to rear wheel drive"

It's basically a C5 Corvette underneath, plus Turbochargers.

Stay out of boost and it should be cake. I know someone who Daily drives a 900+ HP twin turbo '04 Cobra.

Jay Leno is what everyone here aspires to be, minus the excessive chin & denim

What are you talking about? Denim on denim is the best part! 👍

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

Have you driven that Shelby fully tuned?! it thinks if it goes anywhere near straight the universe will explode! I love that thing!

Has anybody mentioned about that car, that Jay Leno and his crew destroyed two Corvette (C6)'s to make that Toranado for the drivetrain.

Who cares they're a dime a dozen, if they were ZR1s (which they weren't) then that is a different story.

I think far more depressing is that they destroyed one regular Toronado to make that Toronado.

That made me laugh hard, even if I may or may not disagree with you
