Jay Leno Tests the 1986 Porsche 911 BB Hybrid: A Turbo Killer! | Jay Leno's Garage

Join Jay Leno in Jay Leno's Garage as he gets behind the wheel of a truly unique machine: a 1986 Porsche 911 Targa Hybrid! This isn't your typical hybrid; it's a recreation of a period-built car by BB, a legendary German tuning house. Jay is joined by Beau Boeckmann from Galpin Motors, who now holds the North American rights to BB, to dive into what makes this Porsche so special. Discover the revolutionary hybrid system that replaces the traditional flywheel, instantly adding 150 horsepower to the already potent 4-liter Ed Pink engine, bringing the total to around 550hp. Experience the immediate power delivery that eliminates turbo lag, making it "better than a turbocharger". This car also features Brembo brakes and a 1997 GT3-style suspension for modern handling. Learn about the car's distinctive Polaroid color scheme, an homage to BB's most famous car that starred in the movie "Car Napping". Jay and Beau also discuss the practical aspects of this hybrid, from its lithium-ion battery system that regenerates power during braking to its five-speed G50 transmission. See why even Porsche is embracing customization and "restomods" like this, proving that modern technology can enhance classic cars without sacrificing their original charm.
