Jay Leno Tank Car '03

The Jay Leno Tank Car '03 is a vintage tank engine-powered vehicle featured in Gran Turismo 4, Gran Turismo 5, and Gran Turismo 6.
Officially called the "Blastolene Special", it was designed and made by glass specialist Randy Grubb. It features a Continental AV-1790-5B tank engine, powering a custom-made aluminum body. The car currently housing this monstrous engine weighs just one-eleventh that of the M47 Patton Tank that it came from. The 810 BHP that the engine produces, coupled with the relatively light bodywork, creates an acceleration that compares to most modern day sports cars.
In 2003, Grubb sold the car to TV personality Jay Leno for the price of $125,000, who installed a new six-speed automatic gearbox, rear brakes, new electrical systems, and chassis work. Since 2003, it has been upgraded with twin-turbochargers and an enhanced fuel-injection to produce an estimated 1,600 BHP. It has since not been updated in the games to reflect this change.
