Exclamation Just saw Jay Leno in mystery car! (pic)

I was up in the Los Angeles Foothills just north of burbank a couple hours ago. Just doing a drive with a buddy on an amazing road I found. A few miles in we pass a red expedition camera car followed by this car:

This is the best frame I could get off my buddy's GoPro.

I am assuming they were filming for an upcoming Jay's Garage. The million dollar question: WHAT CAR IS IT? (The winner does not get a million dollars.)

Kind of looks like a street version of a KTM X Bow.

Ya not a bad guess. This car seemed bigger than that, especially the wheels. It didn't have the black rollover bars behind the seats like an X bow and the back of this car was much larger, the X bow rear sort of disappears.

It kind of looks like a Lotus 2-Eleven.

Looks like one of the cars from the original Death Race 2000

That's Frank Profera's take on a Lotus RS211. He built it after crashing his Exige.

They were filming for an upcoming episode of Jay Leno's garage:



Frank is quite the character...

There are a lot of threads on this forum that are just plain stupid.....Then there are some that really highlight the knowledge and passion of members.
This is one of those.
