Jay Leno gets an exclusive look at his neighbor's pristine 1989 Porsche Speedster, a car with only 2,600 miles on the odometer. Owned by voiceover artist Rino Romano, this car is a "reincarnation of the original" Speedster from the 1950s. Rino shares the fascinating history of this model, a modern "Turbo Look" car with a wide body, upgraded suspension, and brakes. They discuss how the original Speedster was created at the request of marketing genius Max Hoffman as a lighter, less expensive alternative to the pricier Porsches of the day. Jay and Rino explore the car's unique features, including its G50 gearbox, a 3.2-liter air-cooled engine, and a roof that is only meant for "emergency purposes". Rino admits he's decided to start driving the car more, as it's been a "garage queen" for most of its life. The episode also touches on the unique aspects of car collecting and the appeal of Porsche's air-cooled engines. Experience the thrill of a 35-year-old car that feels brand new
