We have heard a lot about Local Motors’ Rally Fighter off-road GT thingy, but we never had a chance to check it out it in details. Now Jay Leno gives us that chance by bringing a Rally Fighter down to the garage. For a car designed by a community and built somewhere in America by a group of 50 people led by a former Marine (sorry, always a Marine) using bits they found in other factories parts bin, the Rally fighter is a seriously awesome bit of kit.
