Riding shotgun in a 1954 Jaguar XK120 with Jay Leno driving is nearly impossible to do if you don’t know the comedian and famous auto collector. But thanks to 360-degree video technology, you don’t have to be in the actual car to experience the thrill of doing so. Granted, it’s still better to sit in it, but we’ll take what we can get.

The video runs close to four minutes long and in that space of time, Leno goes into story-telling mode as he recounts the history behind his XK120 and how he’s had it since 1984. He also talks about the modifications he’s made to the car, including replacing the original 3.0-liter engine with a 4.2-liter that produces “about 250 horsepower.” Other than that, this XK120 is completely stock.

Once you’ve spent time listening to Leno’s stories, you can go back to the start of the video like I did and just spend it playing around with the 360-degree controls on the top-left part of the YouTube screen. Trust me, it’s fun just whirling around the car to see Leno talking directly to you and the incredible scenery around him. And if you want extra effects, point a fan directly to your face to simulate the rush of air blowing your hair in all directions. I may or may not have done that myself.

Go check the video out!
