On my recent trip to California, I was lucky enough to have seen the new Porsche 918 at The Quail and being driven by our favorite celebrity car fanatic, Mr Jay Leno himself.


Rides were being given by Daniel Eastman, a former driving instructor of the Porsche Sport Driving School which I have attended multiple times. Rides were by appointment, and only Daniel could drive the car. I imagine that Porsche made certain exceptions for certain folks such as Mr. Leno.








Here's a video of the 918 being backed into place, Backing the 918 into the booth. I also spotted this car on the road when I was out driving the Porsche Cayenne Diesel and what surprised me is how small this car looked.

Awesome JT. Thanks!

 

Great pics !

 

Great pics, love the green calipers

 

Awesome.

 

Funny as Leno entered The Quail show itself leading some classics in a new convertible Vette (this Porsche experience was outside the show proper).

 

I saw him doing that and of course snapped a few pictures.

 

Some great shots indeed, love that last one. How was fit and finish look first hand?

 

such a amazing car. how much better does it look up close verse in pictures?

 

Looking for opinions on the car Jason. Talk away.
Daniel is the US Sales guy. He calls often.
