Yes, this is a 'Fiesta'. but it's a mid-engined, nitrous oxide-injected 'Shogun' with steroid-pumped rear wheel arches the only real hint of what is lurking under the cargo blind. The Shogun name comes because it carries the six-cylinder engine from a Ford Taurus SHO... with a canister of nitrous-oxide to boost it along even faster.

So Jay Leno's 1989 custom-built Ford Shogun is quite the head-turner.  "My Fiesta gets funny comments from kids at the lights," Leno laughs.  "They'll call out 'hey, mister you've got big wheels at the back'. And I just say 'well, what do I know about cars' - and then blow their doors off."

With over 200 cars and bikes, Jay's collection fills 4 warehouses in LA. Find out more: Jay Leno's Garage.
