Jay Leno Reportedly Orders the $2 Million Bertone Mantide

Filed under: Wheels, Celebrity Shopping



Only ten examples of the exclusive Bertone Mantide supercar are scheduled to be built, and one of them will reportedly go to none other than Jay Leno. The famous talk-show host, comedian and car collector was seen hanging out with Bertone's chief designer Jason Castriota at the recently-concluded Goodwood Festival of Speed, where he reportedly fell in love with the exotic creation. So much so that he's apparently ponied up the $2 million to get his hands on the custom-bodied Corvette ZR1. With the first example already delivered and a couple more orders said to already have been placed, that puts Leno fourth or fifth on the secretive order list and makes a fine addition to his legendary car collection.
