The Terminator is back to his destructive ways – but this time using a tank as his weapon of choice.
Arnold Schwarzenegger made an appearance on Jay Leno’s Garage Thursday to show off the power of his 1951 M-47 Patton tank.
The two put the tank’s Chrysler V12 twin turbo engine to the test by driving over a black stretch limousine and completely demolishing it in the episode.
The actor turned politician explained that this tank is the same one he used while serving in the Austrian Army in 1965 and he even paid $20,000 to ship it to the US in 1991.

The men put the 50-ton tank to the test by crushing a limousine
The former governor of California said he was given the ‘great toy’ for free in the 90s after spending a year driving it in the Austrian military.
‘That’s exactly the same tank with the 331 number on it. M-47. It’s exactly the tank,’ he said.
‘Let’s just jump in there and anything we find – we crush,’ Schwarzenegger tells Leno in the episode.
Besides using the 28-feet-long tank to crush cars, the actor is putting it to good use.
‘I bring kids out here from the after-school programs,’ he tells Leno. ‘When they stay in school their reward is to come out here and drive tanks with me.’
‘And the ones who don’t stay in school – you crush them?’ Leno joked.
The tank is a 1951 M-47 Patton, equipped with a V12 twin turbo engine with 910 horsepowers
The men assessed the damage done to the Limousine that was nearly flattened
Together, the men appear to be having a blast riding around in the 810-horsepower tank.
‘I feel like I’m in a video game!’ Leno exclaims.
When they come across the limousine in the middle of the way, Schwarzenegger asks: ‘Do you want me to do something about it?’
They agree to destroy the limo by driving directly on top of it and flattening it out, seemingly making way for the military tank to easily ride through.
Now the former California governor rewards children for staying in school by letting them drive his tank
