Definitely one of Jay's better guests. Very informative video.
Yeah, Camilo Pardo is very engaging and really great stories from the inside of Ford's skunkworks. I really appreciated that.
And surprisingly, Jay never interupted the guy but listened to him. Jay can be a pain sometimes, trying to show his knowledge over his guest...
I deeply love the car, I'm glad to now know all the process Camilo had to go through. Impressive.
@@marcryvon
In spite of him often, but not always talking over his guests, Jay still has a phenomenally wide ranging knowledge of automobiles. He gives way when he knows the guy with him has knowledge that he doesn't have, as is apparent in this segment.
I agree! I was not sure what to expect, but what great stories and information! I don't think Jay could have got anyone better! Nice one!
Camilo pardo’s character is that of the GT. The car is a true piece of art, but one that belongs on the street not the showroom. Sad to see these beauties tamed.
Jay knows when the expert is next to you let them explain everything.
Yeah this guy is clearly the real deal, he might wanna switch to Tesla. HA!
His wheel design explanation was only half right, but he's a body designer not a mechanical engineer. 15:30
Smart involved guy I'd definitely hire.
@@Mrbfgray I mean tesla cant even make their trunks line up perfectly center the gap on the left is always wider or narrower than the right.
@@tjyau7068 You're living in the past, maybe tune into the present?
This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful, most amazing car Ford has built. It's almost 20 years old, still beautiful, still amazing. And....they came only with a 6 speed manual transmission. No computer controlled or paddle shifted automatic, just a do it yourself stick shift and clutch....as it should be.
The Ford GT is Ford's famous supercar.
That car is a speed freak.
It really, really is. To behonest, in my opinion, this is the most beautiful sports car ever built since 2004.
It's so good if they rereleased this car now it'd sell like crazy. It doesn't look dated at all.
This car will never look old. It is a dream car for many.
Ford Motorcraft had the image of the GT40 on its parts boxes for a couple or decades. Never got old.
Dude's got a sharp memory, great technical-artistic talent, and mad skills in speaking on a fascinating subject. Great episode!!!!
I bet his wife/GF has heard the story 5000 times, having to sit around a gaggle of guys and Him having a beer at the bar...
@@kramnull8962 can confirm, have had a beer at bar with Camilo. Genuine guy 100% pleasure to share company with. Come by Detroit on a Friday you''ll probably find him.
@sploofmonkey But he did go to design school. He went to College for Creative Studies in Detroit. It's one of two U.S. schools that train 90% of car designers who work in this country and many who work in Asia and Europe.
Jay , you need to have him back to talk about the 03 -04 cobras he helped design. Obviously everyone needs more Camilo.
Agreed!
Yes yes yes 🙏
Yes definitely!
I agree. We need him to review a 2003-2004 Mustang Cobra.
Terminator
By far one of the best episodes. So great hearing from the guy who designed it. He knows it so well and him giving Jay tips made me smile.
i was truly blessed to work with Camilo’s brother, Fernando, at BMW Designworks. That one family could produce 2 artists, designers, innovators as well as men of integrity is a testament to their parents and to them.
One of the most interesting episodes ever! Great guest. Thanks Jay!
Great amazing car with the key alarm of a Windstar. - five star. Despite that it's an amazing job
Best guest ever - humble, honest w/o gloss, obviously interested and obsessed. Amazing episode, thank you!
I'd call it a tie with Christian von Koenigseggh, when Jay had him on. Both brilliant.
Humble?! You obviously were not an English major.
@@michaeldavis4276 Ikr? Pardo did most of the talking.
Have owned this car since 2009, bought it with 119 miles on it. The car now has 14900 miles on it and the only things that have failed was the oil pressure gauge and the gas cap seal. Still love it, last of the analog super cars, this and the carrera gt. Everything now is computer assisted, turbo charged, paddle shifters etc. Not saying there is anything wrong with that but I took my buddy's 720s out and although it is faster it is nowhere near as enjoyable to drive. When I show up to cars an coffee people take notice, the sound of the exhaust is that awesome rumble that is not muffled by turbos. Best car Ford ever made IMO. Thank you Mr Pardo for fighting for all the things that made this car right!
When Jay is barely talking, you know the guest is really holding his attention. No talk show host attempts to keep it interesting, and move it along. So informative!
This was definitely my favorite episode, the designer was so cool and we got the inside scoop of this car. Truly amazing.
STI555 thought the same thing. Watched it twice
I agree, best episode in a long time. When I saw the gt in CZcams I assumed it was a little old for a couple days until autoplay, glad I watched it
A 39 minute video that felt about 10 minutes, awesome video!
Jay's videos are always videos I never have to look at the time markers, every topic is like a magnet.
wow so true I was so focused and then Jay opens the door and said let's go for a drive... had to check the time remaining time real quick lol
Amazing how well the designer knows the littlest tweaks and every inch of a vehicle. I was impressed how he truly shows he has love for a car he helped create. I felt that it was like his special baby and expects you to take care of her. He put his heart into it.
It's nice to see an artist/designer being so candid.. Very interesting interview.. Camilo. You did a hellova job!
Probably the most engaging and informative guest you've ever had.
Yeah, I was happy to see that. 2005/2006 Ford GT is my favorite car of all time.
If only he didn't say 'heighth' though...
Camilo is a super intelligent and gifted yet humble guy with no pretensions who designed a gorgeous car. Great episode~~ Thanks!
Camilo and his personal Ford GT...👉🏻 czcams.com/video/gOzbPGjvPrY/video.html
true creative person, humbleness is what drives them to keep getting better
There are so few cars that make me go "I NEED TO HAVE ONE" but this is it. I can't believe how beautiful it is
For me personally, this was by far the best Leno's garage I've ever seen! The Ford GT 40 was a childhood dream, to watch the GT brand keep up and get so much insight from a design perspective just takes this to a whole new level! Truly a magical automotive moment in the making...
Now THIS is a car video. Jay Leno is a legend!
Yes!
Super interesting 40min talk with the designer of an iconic car. Who needs TV again?
My absolute favorite car and design! These will always be timeless.
Without a doubt my favorite GT ever. I'll always remember seeing one in my local dealership. I went back near daily just to stare at it while it was there.
This video illustrates why this is the best car show out there.
Agreed that Leno has the best car show. he does the best job on technical aspects of the cars he shows and can add his own personnel experience of ownership.
I’ve been watching Jay’s channel for a very long time-this was easily one of my favorite episodes. Camilo was a wonderful guest.
So much about the design of his best car.
Agreed!
\
This man's perspective is brilliant. I am so glad you had him on. Thank you! So many times I get caught up in the engineering that I lose sight of the design. This was fantastic.
This was my favorite episode. The 2005 ford gt was an amazing achievement, so nice to hear Camillo talk about this project. All the tiny details from the lip at the back to fighting for the bigger tach. Awesome
Pretty impressive. If I met camilo on the street. I would think he bartended at a bowling alley, not designed the gt.
I'm just an ordinary, average guy
@@missingremote4388 Is that you, Joe Walsh?
I think he looks like a college English professor
IKR! Just an average(LOOKING) everyday dude you'd meet at a bowling alley, surely not a high tech design studio!
I love how Jay always introduces the car before the guest. Great 👍
That is because the CAR is the guest, and not the person who comes in to talk about the real guest.
@@highjix No. The car is a family member, not a guest.
The Car is the Star.
The star is the Doug
By far one of your best interviews, with a fabulous blend of design and development background to a car that will remain iconic in the Ford history books.
Probably the best Jay Leno Garage episode... Everything you need to know about a car in one video!
LOVE LOVE LOVED this video! So interesting to hear the insider design info and conversations that the average car guy and GT fan wouldnt know.
Yeah, when you see Jay is learning something new about a car he already owns, you know the guest is one of the best.
That part about Niki Lauda just made me smile. That Man, always brutally honest... May he rest in peace.
He said the same thing to Enzo about one of the race cars he was to drive. I believe it was the 1976 Ferrari F1 car the first time he drove it. RIP Niki you were the bomb.
Can anyone name a person with the character, personality, persona, or impact in motorsport like Niki. He is an icon. Merc F1 should honor his passing annually - his response and narrative to the F1 GP is sorely missed.
That part almost made me cry. When he was citing Niki in my head i heard his, Nikis, voice, it was so real and so funny, typically Lauda.. I grew up watching F1 with my dad on German RTL where Lauda was the lead expert pundit. Every other weekend i watched that man trash talk everyone into oblivion but never being over the top and always witty and on point. When he died it felt like loosing a grandfather, may he rest in peace, he is dearly missed.
That looks like chit... lol
@@jiffjiffernson7292 Also a very courageous person too!
This was a great episode. I was a salesman for Ford 2004/2005 and remember the hype that accompanied the car. I always wanted to drive one, but never got a chance. Also the guest was SO knowledgeable, and it really added a lot to the video. Great job Jay!
So knowledgeable? Of course he is, he's the freaking designer of the car! He made it! I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself... 😊
This is hands-down my favorite of the three generations.
How is this video FREE? This is pure entertainment. Almost illegal!
shhhhh
Rusty , Idk about you, but I have to pay for Internet, and a computer, and I'm being watched every minute, and forced to watch ads. "FREE" ? Think again.
Say WHAAAT
I didn’t even realize I was thinking the same. Yes I feel lucky to hear this guy talk. Especially loving this car.
Welcome to the internet, they steal your data to pay for it lol
Mythical car, one of the best episodes I've ever seen, usually I watch for the motorcycles.
nolanb21 I tune in for the bikes too, but this episode is excellent.
bikes are gay
@@wickedhouston5538 Say that to the next biker you see...
@@coledarton1431 no cause then he will throw his purse at me
As an architect and car design’s lover I found this episode amazing!!! He is such a great guy and designer!!! Wow! Astonishing!
Camilo is easily one of the best guests this show has ever had. Wish they all could speak this well on their vehicle.
Yeah, he always sounds like he is on just the right amount of cocaine.
I’m not even a ford guy but I give this guy and the engineers so much respect for this masterpiece.
Don't have to be a Ford guy, Just a car guy :)
LOVE the "floating intake scoop"!!! ♡♡♡♡♡
Love this guy. Incredibly smart and incredibly informative, with a ton of great stories on how a car like this gets into production, and all the challenges to overcome. Fantastic.
And these cars now are going for much more, which shows what a great design it is.
This is one of the most-enjoyable episodes I've seen, Jay. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this one.
Probably the best episode I've ever seen here. Beautiful car with a fascinating and articulate guest.
I love this guy! Besides being an awesome designer, he's one if us too. Designing the rear bumper with the thought of making it easily removable is just beautiful!
Jay's best guest by far! Loved his info and his passion for this beauty
Very informative and gives us a different way to look at this wonderful car. Camilo sure described a lot of the process of creating this car.
The best guest Jay has ever had, by far.
There have been good, and there have been mediocre... but this guy is AWESOME.
Christian Von Koenigsegg?
my father was a master tech for Ford at the time and got to personally hand-deliver one of these GTs to the customer. He said it was the most potent car he ever drove. the steering was so precise and the throttle was so eager to get going. it was in a white/blue stripes configuration. I still remember seeing it as a 5 year old in the showroom one late night.
he also told a story about how he and some of his peers got to get a sneak peek at the GT in an earlier phase of the project--before public release, and he was enamored by the huge strands of wires hooked up to the vehicle for what I would assume was some sort of dyno testing. he described it as a scene from the Matrix lol. he added that he and the other technicians had to sign NDAs before even knowing about what the tour was for.
the GT is still to this day my favorite supercar.
So interesting to hear the designer comment on the process. He really opened up. Fascinating.
Jay's channel is becoming better and better. I think inviting the designer/engineer of the vehicle being presented as the main guest should become a new trend. Not that I don't enjoy watching owners talk about their cars, but there is something different to be harvested from the mind of the person at least in part responsible. I thought Jay enjoyed himself too. I love my E34 and I would wholeheartedly enjoy learning about the same sort of things the model's chief designer had to do to get it to its new owners. :) Keep it up!
This is my favorite episode by far. Camilo is so well spoken and very insightful
Many years ago, in the '60s, I saw a GT40 in a Surrey, England high street. The WOW factor was there then, and it has been carried through beautifully into this car. What a fantastic interview, Jay, thanks.
One of the best guests Jay had in his garage.
He knows so much about the car,
Please get such informed guests on the show.
Jay, I have to say that this is your best video yet. The incredible passion of Camilo was infectious and the story of how it all came together was outstanding. I've always thought this car was beautiful, but something about how Camilo talked about it makes me just love it so much more. Very, very well done, here. Great work!
AMAZING story. Insane how much this cat remembers; from story about the wheels to the windshield header to the blue oval being on this car. Thank you so much!
Arguably the coolest JLG episode ever.
Great car and great episode Jay. I'm glad you waited until you got Camilo before you did a presentation of the car. His paintings are great too.
I've been watching for years, but this is really a standout guest/video. Cheers Jay!
Camilo Pardo is for me one the best designers and truly a real artist. I studied design myself and the way he got the Ford GT is phenomenal.
Congratulations Camilo and thanks Jay to having him on your awesome show.
How ultra super cool to have the designer and the car in the same video. I loved this.
camilo pardo has designed my 2 favorite cars of all time. My 03 cobra and this amazing Ford GT. Thanks for the video Jay!
KyleSVT I didn’t know he was behind the 03 cobra. It’s also one of my favorites too
03 Cobra with the Terminator engine one of the best combos ever
@@SpyderRios yea isn't that pretty neat!
The 03 cobras will be valuable some day for sure. I think the 03 04 cobras will go up in value just like my 93 cobra that literally doubled in value and I haven't done a thing to my cobra just exhaust there is no point trying to mod the 93.It would need a ton of money in the car to compete with my gt500 and my supersnakes.Keeping the 93cobra stock is a smart move.Collecters want the 93cobra stock and that is how mine will stay.
@@SpyderRios Yeah, that was awesome to hear; the 03/04 Cobras are some of my favorite Mustangs. I also loved that he mentioned the Lightning (not just because I own one)!
Engineer: What if they put gas in there, and light their windshield on fire?
Designer: No they won't
Engineer: Yes they will. LOL, love that story
Sadly, I'm afraid the engineer was probably right.
One of the Best videos yet! Having the designer explaining the car can't be beat! Plus one articulate and passionate makes it that much better!
OK, you sold me. I'll take one.
I’ll take 5
That’ll be half a million
Just one?
@@goldenretriever6440 today. More later.
I'll take two. Three. Eleven and Clifford Banagale.
Great episode. A beautiful car for sure. I don't think I've seen Jay talk so little, which shows how much he respects Camilo and the work he did/does.
Jay is the consummate interviewer. If the guest easily expresses himself on the subject at hand, Jay allows him to complete the guest's thoughts. If the guest needs guidance to find a way to tell his story, Jay offers that guidance with very timely questions. No one is better about talking cars than Jay Leno. He is a true lover of machines with that extra talent of knowing how to get other people to talk about the subject.
This car and episode is automotive history and a true masterpiece. A timeless design.
Best ever episode of Jay's Garage!
The enthusiasm, pride and knowledge, that Jay and Camilo have for this beautiful machine was just so enjoyable to watch.
I like this designer, Camilo. Great guy and very informative.
He's way out of my league...too cool for me LOL
I think this is one of the best designer interviews on the show to date. Great stories, interesting insights and explanations, etc. Very enjoyable and informative. Camilo was knowledgeable and personable and easy to listen to. Excellently well done. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!
BBFour agreed, one of the best. Glad Jay waited.
One of my favorite segments from Jay's garage. Amazing to hear from the designer of one of my favorite cars of all time.
Best episode ever! Thank you Jay and Camilo, this was just terrific!
It is EASILY One of the top 20 American Cars (not just top 20 American Performance cars) of all time
T U more like top 3
Top 5
When I think of an American car i think of old floats. But american sport/supercar I always think of the GT. The history behind it is amazing.
Did you forget about the S7
billy heaton no real car guy will ever forget the Saleen S7
By far one of the best Jay Leno's Garage videos. Jay should have more car designers like this come in and explain why their cars turned out the way they were. It's pretty cool to learn from the designer's perspective.
Great episode! I enjoyed learning about all of the behind the scenes battles and processes between the suites, engineers, and designers. They nailed it!
Just now seeing this video. I can’t believe how relatively low the price was for this car at that time. Currently they are worth triple that. Still worth every penny! This guy designed a masterpiece 👌🏽
Ever gt owner needs to thank that man sounds like he fought hard for alot of good stuff in that car if not for him it might have turned out pretty lame
Good post. Given the (Ford) timeline of his employment, I also wondered if Mr. Pardo had any design input at all into the highly successful (and retro) Mustang S-197 program(s). I realize he was not the chief designer of that program.
@Sam Adams Maybe you missed this video Jay also did. czcams.com/video/DUBmDu3HXaU/video.html
Jay, Camilo, this was unequivocally the best of all the shows. Thank you so much. The GT40 and its history make one of the best stories of the period and I've always loved the shape. The Ford GT project was fab to follow & when I saw my first one, in the metal, outside a old pub, in a small village near Northampton, UK, I was smitten all over again. Learning about all the design details from the man himself was magnificent. Thanks again
10th time watching this. Never gets old. Melo is so chill
Great insight into the design. What a timelessly gorgeous car. It's also commendable that the performance matched the looks.
Jay, Do more of these kind of videos!!!!!!! Very Informative, Camilo and his team will be in the history books for making such a unique, beautiful car.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on CZcams.
This is my all times’ favourite american car. Simple, cool, amazing sound...
Very good interview with Camilo.
One of the best series on the box! Thank you. What a pleasure to watch.
Loved the video. Meeting Camilo, this is exactly who he is. Ridiculously smart and one heck of an artist. I watched him draw a GT on a napkin in seconds and it was fascinating to watch. Glad to be a part of the story. Glad we’ve got his signature on the car 🤘
Got a link for that video?
@@Juror_Number_Eight it’s not a video. It was a dinner at an event 13 years ago
@@SupercarRanch ahhh... Got it after I reread your first post. Lucky you!
As an automotive design student this was such an amazing video to watch, completely inspired!
Jay, one of your best episodes. Remarkable that we can see the inside battles in maintaining the aesthetic beauty vs cost and engineering. I saw one on at a Ford dealership and was in awe. Ford personification of craftsmanship well done.
I as an automotive fan, who may never get to own, drive or even see one of these beautiful cars, am glad Jay shares his cars and other interesting cars. He does such a good interview that I feel that I know these cars. Thanks Mr. Leno I very much appreciate what you do for us auto fans and aspiring owners.
He is a very interesting person, thanks Jay for the great history of a legend.
This gave me an appreciation for the Ford GT I never had before.
Jay, every episode is exquisite - this 40 minutes with Camilo was sublime. If I could bring my dad back for a day - I'd schedule at least 2 hours watching a few of your shows with him. You and Tom Brady are my heroes. Thank's so much for everything you've given the world!!!
This is the greatest episode ive ever seen Jay. Priceless
What a good interview.....amazing insight into the design of the car and how to get it through all the bureaucracy!
This designer should be on the speaking circuit. His demeanor is disarming. Sounds like a surfer dude, but no. This is NOT a surfer dude. I could listen to him all day.
Camilo is exactly what I would perceive a designer of something beautiful to be. Chill, laid back, and probably high, lol. He really loves this car/project. What an honor.
Thank you Mr. Pardo. Respect. What a great conversation. I could listen for hours.
Definitely one of the best videos from The Garage! Mr. pardo is amazing!
What a shame. I just watched this a couple hours ago and they just happened to mentioned Nikki Lauda. And now he just sadly passed away. What a coincidence. What a tragedy :(
One of my all time favorite cars! Having Camilo to talk about the project made this episode!
