President Joe Biden recently shared his love for cars in a conversation on Conan O’Brien’s podcast, “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.” He revealed that he had the chance to drive a Porsche up to 171 mph on the Secret Service’s private test track, showcasing a passion for high-speed driving that we don’t often hear from politicians.
While President Biden did not specify the exact Porsche model he drove, we can assume it was likely a 911, given the car’s capabilities. He also mentioned reaching 132 mph in his 1967 Chevrolet Corvette on the Secret Service airstrip test track and even recounted Jay Leno offering to buy the Corvette for $144,000.
President Biden also teased the arrival of an electric Corvette and claimed it will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds. Moreover, he mentioned driving an electric Ford Bronco, although such a vehicle is not currently available from Ford. It’s unclear whether he was referring to an electric conversion or future product insights from Ford.
This rare glimpse into the President’s passion for cars makes for an entertaining and intriguing conversation, demonstrating his interest in automotive performance and technology. Catch the full discussion in the video above.
