Jay Leno Races the Stig in James Bond's Aston Martin DB11

From Road & Track

The new Aston Martin DB11's look is a little unconventional, but here at R&T, we think it's gorgeous. And under the hood, it packs an incredible 600-horsepower twin-turbo V12. With a torque-vectoring limited-slip differential, Aston Martin claims the DB11 can play like a sport car or cruise like a luxury grand tourer.

If you want something a little more hardcore, though, you could always go for the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S. It's not nearly as new as the DB11, but it offers two things the DB11 doesn't-a manual transmission and a naturally aspirated V12. It "only" makes 565 horsepower, but we found that to be plenty.

Some people like Jay Leno, however, don't have to choose one or the other. He got a chance to drive both recently. So what did he do? He invited former Stig Ben Collins out to Willow Springs with him to have a little fun. Because if you're Jay Leno, why wouldn't you do that?

And, well, as you can tell, the two certainly had their fair share of fun. Then again, who wouldn't have a blast playing with two V12 Aston Martins on a race track?
