Farley also showed Fallon the all-electric F-150 Lightning pick-up, Bronco Raptor and Mustang Shelby GT500.

The Ford Motor Company President and CEO is the cousin of late comedian Chris Farley, who like Fallon, starred on Saturday Night Live.

Farley got behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang Supercar at last year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.

He drove the car up the famous hillclimb in the iconic Shell V-Power Racing Team colours.

Farley completed the climb complete with Scott McLaughlin’s name and DJR’s famous #17 on the window.

Such is Farley’s current involvement with Supercars, that he was part of Walkinshaw Andretti United’s presentation as a Ford team.
