Did you realise that you share colour scheme with car? White, with red drapes and curtains with a grey streak or 2 to boot.
rahowhero red drapes and carpet...., rather.
i love you Magnus!
Paint the mirrors gold bro! Beautiful car tho and I'm down with OPP..
Love you Magnus! I'd love to own any car you've had your hands on!
Didn't like the color combo at all at first, but by the end of the video, it grew on me so much!
It's sort of like the gt2 personality you need to spend some time with it;) Then it grows and grows on ya! In person the car brings out the smiles;)
Jay Leno’s hair color?
me too...Holy sh_t Now I love it
I would have done it differently, but it did kinda grow on me a lil I guess
same!
After 16 hours of homework (13 straight) this is exactly what I needed. Thanks Jay
Looks like I need to study more, lol.
Are you serious? Or just catching up?
***** w
Haha same here. Studying for my ifr rating.. Needed that!
SAME HERE!!!
Love how emotional people get about the look of the car...because that's exactly what styling is supposed to do: make people react!
Great job guys the car definitely has a personality of its own!
Your right it can make you react in a good way or a bad way. In this case it's whack. But to each their own.
I absolutely love the Sharkwerks Porsches.. Porsches in general are starting to grow on me haha.
Cheers very much mate!
sharkwerks Yeha, no problem! You guys seem to do phenomenal work! Keep it up, can't wait to see future projects from you guys!
Jorge Rodriguez Usually UK...
after seeing more porsche 964, i really want one now. That or a 993
I like Magnus, seems like a nice guy and he loves Porsche (I do too!), but I cant figure out quite what he does other than choose color combos and drill holes in door handles. More power to him, but it seems his biggest skill is marketing himself.
No,doubt. Well said. Me too.
Yeah he seems to do mostly styling and restoration while racing his own cars. But hey, sometimes that's all people are looking for I guess.
He's a very unique, passionate, vissionary dude indeed. Anyone that's met him in person will tell ya;) He's got porsche running through his veins!
He made his fortune in fashion.....started out with selling a few pair of pants. Bought a huge undervalued building....rented space for film industry. Bottom line: self made mills
sharkwerks i have also got PORSCHE runing through my veins but i have not got the the money to display it. Anyways keep up the good work mates 👍👍👍
I greatly appreciate your time in bringing us all these wonderful cars and motorcycles.
Love Magnus' creations and the way he presents them in video and photography! Really inspiring!
Someone should tell Mr. Leno that the brakes of these supercars are not "carbon fibre," they are "carbon ceramic." Not really that big of a deal, but I've heard him say it close to 10 times in these videos... and it's wrong lol. Cheers from Florida.
Love the styling and the little touch on the inside and 750bhp at the crank makes it a wicked fast car to go
"I've nvr done launch control in a manual" proceeds to do it down a public road with cars on each side..that was a lot of trust. 👏👏👏
Love seeing these videos on youtube, keep up the fine work.
Enjoyed seeing the underside of the car. That was a nice touch, would be cool to see more of that on other "special" cars
Beautiful paintjob, i don't know how to explain it but it just ... works . That's real art.
the side shot is to die for
@RLX Not only does it work, it's a gorgeous combination and the subtlety is what makes it a masterpiece.
lol you guys are so ignorant. It looks good sure, but "real art" and "masterpiece?" LOL, my god you guys need educating.
+Kyong Hansen Such things are totally subjective and you're acting like they're just wrong and lacking knowledge... really now, who's actually the ignorant one here?
Looks like a 5yr old kid painted his Hot Wheels. Do like the tartan seats though.
Kudos to Magnus and Alex hooking up on this one. Not a usual at all for Magnus, and I am stoked to see him playing with this one. Great vid!
Who else is here in 2020 enjoying this during the pandemic.
Been revisiting a lot of these 'old' videos, love the Sharkwerks stuff (and BBi of course).
Keep up the great work Jay.
What a collab!
Another Cool Episode, Thanks Jay! Actually, that small fan pushes colder outside air down (Into) the engine bay and does not attempt to pull hot air out. The fan turns on, usually while at idle in order to reduce heat transfer from the running engine from rising up towards the air intake area while at rest. You know, the idea is hotter air robs power (a rule of thumb +10C relative to ambient translates to 1%hp loss) In motion, air is forced down from the air scoops into the sealed cold air intake air box, but further; more importantly at relatively low speeds after intense pull.. air also flows downwards from slits in the rear lid which takes temperature at the MAF sensor (usually just before the throttle body entrance) to around ambient (within 1 to 5 degrees depending on speed). At speeds above 20mph.. i don't think that small electrical fan is used.
Bringing back the old stylings from 60s and 70s era I love the paint, a real collectors porche....
Simple and beautiful! Nice job, Mr. Magnus!
Jay you should get RWB to come out to you!! those are some of the craziest porsches out there
ew RWB is gross
Etienne Reyes.RWB is the equivalent of an IKEA furiniture car kit.Rough Work Brother.Just like a 90s Veilside kit where are those now?Junked. RWB will be the same in 10 yrs.
I was skeptical about the paint job on this car at first, but as soon as I saw it moving it clicked.
Thx mate indeed she grows on ya!
The gray stripe is spot on! Very hard to make a car look this nice
Jay with a smile.That tells how lovely the car feels.I love it!
Jay and Matt Farah should be on Top Gear USA
Mud Wiser that'd be neat!
If they do that I hope they talk gallons, miles and pounds and not metric.
sharkwerks Hey guys are you doing anything with the 991 turbo? Would love to see your performance touch on that car.
It would make for the most annoying TV show of all time.
Imperial gibberish,everything thats precision is made in metric .Only the US and some backwards African country still use imperial.It'll go a slow death.
if you guys talk about Porsche not making manuals one more time i swear I'm gonna cry
A great combination of two of the best designers/artists out there.
Great episode Jay.
Having Magnus and Alex there was a real pleasure to watch.
The GT 2 turned out beautifully.
It must have taken will power not to offer him ALOT for it....
Powerful Joe Rogan shout-out. Hopefully Jay Leno will have him on the show at some point!
;) Joe gets it and is a porsche / car nerd too!
sharkwerks do you do work on Porsche cousins? Like mk1 golf gti?
rahowhero and they've got factory tartan.
Joe Rogan Soy boy
Now, I respect a Porsche-specialist as much as the next guy. And, I know the color-scheme is race-inspired. But, it looks like somebody wrecked their 911, and then went to the local junkyard, and ripped some orange bumpers of another wrecked 911.
And, yes, I'd still drive the piss out of it.
Lol. How did I ruin it for you? I don't get it.
Yeah... Doesn't do it for me either. I would have gone for a white base and secondary colors that were Martini Racing inspired. The tartan seat inserts works for me but that's personal preference.
Gorgeous car. I would drive the piss out of it regardless of color.
Yeah I don’t see the appeal either but to each his own I guess...
Love the Road Warrior (Mad Max 2) reference at the end, a favourite film of mine.
Awesome episode. Glad you guys put it up on the lift!
All I can think about is the Joe Rogan episode.
19:21 joe rogans nothing more then hypocrite that likes to get high and run his mouth.
I was waiting for Jay to do his Joe Rogan impersonation like Joe does his Jay impersonation with that high, winney voice. :-)
***** ha that would have been cool!
Top gear America should've been jay Leno, mike finnegan, and David freighburger
The power in that car has to be brutal, stock they are extremely fun. Love it
Nice to see Jay showing passion for other peoples passion great video ,
"The last of the V8 interceptors..." Lol.
Haha OPP Other Peoples Porsches. Magnus is the man!
What a beautiful gt2, having These two creative guys get together and build a car is the ideal thing to do. Alex and Magnus my hats off to you guys! I respect what you guys have done and Jay Leno you're behind the reasoning on this build.
Thx man we enjoyed the whole thing... it was done sort of after hours and for fun;)
So impressive! I can't afford one but if I could I would. Looks like so much fun to drive.
Jay
Please do an episode on the Porsche 928.
I see Forrest Gump stopped running just to show his car
Lol... I guess nobody else got it
Oh I got it!
Lovely Scheme, Tuning and a nice Vid - Thanks Jay Leno´s Garage ;)
I have seen this video two years ago and I though that I hate the color combo now I simply adore it
That accent and that human do not mix lol.
Beautiful car! :D
Didn't expect to see you here ken :o
Thanks fellas makes the kids smile too!
Love the videos man, good to see you here
Hey Ken!!!
Louis VV Hey :D
SharkWerks is amazing. Magnus Walker is unbelievable!! Put the two of them together? WOW!!! Very impressive!
The Perfect Love Child!! Thing of beauty this one!!
The rich hobo is back. :)
...and well-scrubbed.
Looks like its been in a front ender & only half finished.
Another awesome video Jay
I’m definitely on par with Magnus’s style. This car came out perfect, for a year that I don’t necessarily give a second thought. Well done!
That big guys does not know when to shut up, you can easily tell Jay and the other guy are annoyed he doesnt shut up
+TheVeradario1 which guy are you refering to?
+TheVeradario1 Are you talking about Magnus ? The guy who needs to do all the talking as he actually built the fucking car with sharkwerks?
"Magnus is an air-cooled guy", definitely doesn't like water does he?
Loving the paint job, it works for me.
I dont care what anyone say, those colors are elegant and well thought out. Truly one of a kind.
I would love to see nakai-sans rwb on here.
whats so special about sharkwerks? i made a 800 hp porsche gt2 4 years ago. wider fender ext. gotta give the sharkwerks PR props...
Magnus doesnt even build much he does small touches like dorr handles lol.
is there any 4.0l sharkwerks cars that race, not TT?
man i saw this car in the previous vid, i fell in love with it and with so many Porsches i really decided thats the one i felt there is something really special about it, the crazy 700 and the styling...then suddenly i see this!! my fav and best 2 guys did it, so thats it, im buying it. This car genius, it compete with the 911R. best 2 cars ever.
Sheesh that pulls away faster that just about any car ive seen on here ...damn. Dream car
Is Magnus homeless? Because he surely looks the part.
What's up with the odd paint schemes?
@Never Gonnatell Keep crying.
Love the colour combination, it's stunning.
I love Jay Leno's garage.
not feeling the orange bumpers..
Let's see, one partner makes it stop, turn and have more power, and the other one gets a guy to paint it funny and puts yellow seatbelts in it.
Thank goodness Rob Zombie didn't climb in the back and keep interrupting the guy who actually built the car.
Awsome finally got to hear that beast!
I was a bit surprised when I heard Magnus was doing a newer Porsche but I really like this. Great work guys and I hope this is at the Werks Reunion this year.
I wonder how long this guy with the England shirt lived in the U.S for, He has pretty much lost his English accent.
Hah since 1998 and you're right it's gone! This is my second stint in the USA and I'm a proud Yank now.
You and Magnus sure are living the American dream, I'm glad Jay invited you out to his garage love the work you guys do. I'm sure you will have the angry/confused Brits in the comment section haha.
Thanks mate this place has been good to both of us!
Haha ok fair enough!
sharkwerks "found the right place for the English flag"....on the arse end!...:p
I don't like the colour scheme... the interior is hideous...
Yeah well that is your opinion on a subjective thing
Never been a gt2 fan but I know love them.
Great vid
It doesn't get better than the 911 I've been a fan since just a little kid when my uncle pulled in the driveway with his brand new 911 in 1987!
Ugggg! That's what happens when you let a stoned-out hippy paint your car. Incidentally....I think I saw that Magnus guy holding a cardboard sign and 'bumming' for spare change by the I-5 exit ramp this morning.
Up your "hippy" ass; loser. That Chrysler 300 in the background has more class than you or that sick looking Phorsche will ever have
Magnus Walker was born in 1967, and since that was the Summer of Love, your hippy comment is a couple of decades removed from reality. I liked his TED talk, and the fact that he functions as an individual, and has been successful on his own terms, even though I actually dislike this particular 'styling' job quite a bit.
Your comments about him are personal though, and one must be careful not to be a mainstream tool, the kind of person who loves to insert their tongue into the anus of authority and conformity.
Looks like you crashed and got replacement parts from a orange one.
Man that's one sweet looking Porsche! And to have a legend like magnus, do the the touches to it, would have been an honor! And Porsche's are timeless classsics! Just beautiful car's. 😎👍
Magnus is a wild and crazy guy. I think the old school ques are great.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills?! A homeless dude painted a Porsche with random colours?!
Alex: I invented the piano key necktie, I invented it..what've you done, Magnus?!? Nothing!..... Nothing!!!!
He said in the video someone named Matt painted it.
I can't take anyone seriously with hair that disgusting, Porsche expert or not that tail is truly revolting.
Awesome! Been waiting for this
I love the video . 😊 keep the good work Jay ! You're an awesome guy ! 😲
That color scheme is truly hideous...
Bogus paint/livery, interior is ok.
beautiful collaboration
Thanks Jay. Sweet ride.
Paint doesn't work for me, it looks too random and thrown together like a 10 Y/O decided the combo.
Silver, grey, gold, orange, white, decals, go faster stripes, flags & a freaking interior that looks like an old man's shirt...
This car looks like it fell through a spare parts shop backwards. The bumpers don't fit the car, the air vents look like they forgot to paint over the primer, it's got decals, go faster stripes, flags & gold wheels. The interior looks like my grandad's wardrobe. Talk about lacking direction in the design department. About as nasty as his dreadlocked beard.
You´re definately right. This "piece of art" sucks to 100%. But maybe that´s the point: It´s ugly, but rare... LoL I´d buy it for a discount of about 8´000.- € to redo the painting and the f**ked up interior. The rest seems to be ok so far... :Op On the other hand, i might love this car if i´d grow fifteen... for the second time :Op Sorry, that ride is rediculous. Greetings from Porsche-Town/Germany
Finally someone with a brain that sees through Anus Stalker and his garbage designs.
Porsche...there is no substitute. Great car, great episode!
Love your show Mr. Leno!
I'm not asian, nor an accountant, so porsche don't interest me at all.
What!!!???? Magnus is an Asian Accountant - he hides it very well.... :-P
lol joe rogan isnt either of those and he has one.
neah dude. accountants only buy boxsters or normal 911s, not GT2/GT3/RS. :D
DGRWPF
The rich asian college kids who live in my town disagree.
I see more porsche than ferrari/GTR/jag/lambo/maserati/mercedes/land rover combined.
Not to mention audi and BMW. Asians just LOVE german cars for some reason...
making an assumption based on a very small sample pool.
The car doesn't look right. It looks like someone had a go with the paint bucket tool in ms paint.
Oh, and Magnus, please shut up for two seconds and let other people talk.
Thank you Jay, thank you. Wonderful car.
absolutely beautiful car
disgusting car color combo... yuk
Yeah it doesn't do me to well either.
Sorry you don't like it fellas... We went for a tribute to his 911 STR and the factory Porsche Hybrid Cup car race colors. Sort of 80s privateer Le Mans with some cheekyness
sharkwerks
I am talking about the color combo. Just talking about this particular issue I have. The other stuff you do with the cars is AWESOME! I am a fan of Sharkwerks and Magnus, that is mainly why I clicked on that video.
No worries mate and thanks for the kind words! We're sort of doing something new on these water cooled cars and it's round 1;) Kids smile so that's a good start!
sharkwerks Now after looking up its roots and understanding its theme a bit more it does help me enjoy and appreciate it. Seeing where it came from made it far more interesting than I first realized but I still don't like it as a whole sorry.
looks like an 8yr old painted it...
Julian Mcclellan but all car guys are overgrown 8 year olds.
racing colors are terrific.
A thing of spellbinding beauty. Fine work Magnus. For a second I thought Jay and Alex were running in the 1968 Targa Florio. But it was Calabasas. The union jack detail adds a narrative, a jenson buttonesque evocation. The British Champion drivers. LeMans. My first car was a $500 1965 912, bright white, peeling varnish on the wooden rim wheel, cracked black leather seats. Absurdly rusted cape cod car.
Thank you! Ah... Dan and James both had 912s! One was a sand beige 67 short wheel base and the other an Ozzie blue 69 long... Loved those cars!
How to spoil a 997 GT2 with rubbish colour combinations and no added special bits, apart from a horrible paint ? Better stick to air cooled classic 911's with metal to work on, no plastic, Magnus...horrible, in my opinion.
In my humble opinion, I find this guy way overrated, a stock GT2 does look better in my eyes... colors don;t match at all, looks like a cheap plastic toy...
Literally smiling while watching this
Favorite car of all time.
