Jay Leno has a new show with a similar feature to Top Gear but with a shocking twist.
I assume anyone reading this is familiar with Top Gear’s feature, ‘a star in a reasonably priced car’.
Well friend of the show Jay Leno has created his own spin off in his new show. Outside the studio is a racetrack where Jay lets celebrities loose but there is no sign of the Suzuki Liana. Jay has opted instead for an all electric Ford Focus BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle).
Based on the European Ford Focus ST engineers have created a car capable of 141 bhp and with the 236 lb.ft of power, comparable to a VW Golf 2.0 TDI.
First round the track was Hollywood beauty Drew Barrymore with Kanye West potentially due up next.

There are many practical reasons to leasing a car rather than buying one. Car leasing offers lower monthly payments, lower initial deposit, road tax and breakdown recovery. You also have the opportunity to drive a new car every two or three years and all vehicles include the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
Our leasing deals are powered by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
