Mercedes SLS AMG First Drive [Jey Leno's Garage]

[dooddoo12]

do want!!!

[AARDeadORAlive]

HOLY SHIT CAMERA GUY PUT THE GODDAMN SEAT BELT ON! Sorry got annoying... I have a C350 and i swear to god i hear the damn seat belt alert from like 6:30 to 7:00

[TooDamnDope]

jay leno is the fucking man!

[alankace]

now... the question is how to get in and get out of the car without looking like a pretentious douche

[simplygarnett]

@alankace u get door straps for the inside

[jamessquire1]

I like Jay too. You can tell he's a really nice guy. Not just pretending to be. I've never met him but he's one of those guys you can just tell is genuine. I'm jealous of the cars he gets to drive though. Lucky bugger!

[blastofo]

I would do unforgivable things to have Jay's car collection.

[yocool909]

@blastofo I would do things i would never tell anyone about to get to pick just one of them haha

[CaNNonBlunT]

sounds amazing

[VDZRIDER]

Such a awesome exhaust note!

[dude157]

It's mercedes first beautiful car in years and years. The engine note and and exaust noise are mega. It's very fast and it handles a dream despite the muscle car looks. It's a super car than you can actually take out and use and get some miles on the clock. I love it.

[CBass2016]

@dude157 What...every car they have made is beautiful

[godownweeniegodown23]

I like his garage but not his show

[shasha1873]

He needs to do one on the Countach.

[pcbb01]

what car does Jay Leno not have, its like having a real life GT5 garage

[virginiatechfanx]

I have a carbon fiber drive shaft

[shobin05]

you realize jeremy was right, that robert guy who hand made the engine, his name is on almost all of the 6.2 liter V8 engine and mercedes makes like 50 engines everyday!

[Jelsick]

I am soooo jealous of Jay Leno. If I had his money, I would have a huge collection as well... exept for the weird steam cars and the pre-war stuff.

[GrouchOsa]

@0NS7 no

[megabowzer100]

i like jay leno..hes the only american who actually knows what the fk hes talking about.

[FerrariLamborghini25]

@megabowzer100 very very very true.

[JayBird90210]

thumbs up if your leaning on your left elbow

[megabowzer100]

@JayBird90210 haha how did you know lol

[PL3690]

@JayBird90210 how the hell did you know hahahah :P

[markymars]

Jay should've just quit his gayass show and host top gear USA

[dex123asd]

This is porn.  I loves it.

[utubenz576]

i work at a BMW factory but personally love amg's the m ones are allright but the real power is in the merc

[JorgeMercedesSlk]

Jay, do you have another shirt´s or that is the same one???

[zack8756]

He needs another tv show where he just talks about cars, he has like every super car ever made haha

[Kuwai8y4u]

america streets will ruin that car !! the streets are shit

[1800Beatdown]

leno should have his own youtube channel and show all his cars like in this video

[eisenherz188]

If you open those doors at autobahn, maybe you are going to take off

[cygnusx555]

the homer simpson of wardrobes

[southeastpacarshows]

i love that car. the SLS AMG is my new favorite german car. i've always been a fan of the gullwing doors in the dmc12 and this just takes the cake.

[Pablito1512]

Jay Leno owns all this car, or he just makes his personal review

[ceeza314]

i wonder if non americans realize EVERY single car in that garage he owns.. His late night show sucks but i cant knock his hustle.. he should really host a car show because this is really what his passion is and hes good at it.. telling jokes not so much..

[NWguy83]

The 'nose' on the SLR is hideous.

[urdynamix1]

Top Gear Is a Lame Show Anywhere, But Putting Jay Leno as Host, The Show Would Be Watchable

[jeremy915111]

that miura is just staring at me...

[rickyt11]

Thanks J. I am dreaming about getting a SLS. maybe this year.

[cobratoxic]

I can stop look at the lamborghini´s bihind the mercedes.

[yorrickwi]

if you put the 300 sl and the db5 next to eachother you will see that they look a lot alike when u put the amg and the dbs next to eachother i think i wish the dbs looked a little bit more like the amg

[SeattleRover16]

my dream car :)

[BOWENSblog]

man he is a bad driver.... he crosses they yellow line alot lol...

[hotstixx]

i got a beat up old piano in my garage.

[wicha08]

why 563bhp ? its 570

[Titanic19127]

My father has a 2010 black SLS AMG.

[gruhonjic]

@Titanic19127 you want a trophy or something?

[datfatjunt]

jay leno should quit his late night show (terrible) and do a car show (awesome)

[benfriedtviking3000]

whats the point of an automatic super car??? Come on Mercedes and AMG use your fucking heads.......

[gruhonjic]

@benfriedtviking3000 Mercedes are almost always manual. Automatics shift faster

[gruhonjic]

@benfriedtviking3000 I meant almost never*

[sopocrin]

audi a8 2010-2011 has 8speed 

[EVILSPAWN1000]

they found an original 300 SL gullwing in the DESERT???? Why can`t I find a 250 GTO in a barn,with an old lady selling it 4 a 100 bucks just to get rid of it.After the papers were signed and the GTO was flipped i`d send her 100K.What is the going price 4 a Ferrari 250 GTO these days?5 million?10?

[benfriedtviking3000]

@EVILSPAWN1000 one went for 30 million......

[EVILSPAWN1000]

@benfriedtviking3000 That`s insane.I saw a top gear clip of the new 599 GTO.To get the point across about what a "badge of honour" it is 4 a ferrari 2 be called GTO they had an actual 250 GTO there.BBC couldn`t afford the insurance.Jeremy Clarkson didn`t get to drive it.He didn`t even get 2 sit in it!He altso told the story about EACH ONE is a bit diff. than the others,since the panels was hammered manually.The one in the clip had 1 door a full cm longer than the other...That is so cool.

[benfriedtviking3000]

@EVILSPAWN1000 I love topgear :) favorite show the american episode where jeremy,james, and richard went to nevada and jeremy had that zr1 was the funniest episode ever

[EVILSPAWN1000]

@benfriedtviking3000 I think most of their "big trips" are great:-) On that trip Dodge certainly didn`t do themselves any favors by refusing 2 let TG have a Challenger bcoz "they r mean 2 american cars" It just made Dodge seem very petty.AND didn`t they think BBC would have the money 2 just BUY one?

[benfriedtviking3000]

@EVILSPAWN1000 The only motor company that usually gives them problems is Bentley and then Jeremy makes fun of them the whole time so there pretty much shooting themselves in the foot because I would never buy a car that Jeremy said was bad :) and yes BBC should have just bought one and made it a company car when they were done i mean its not that expensive for a muscle car.

[EVILSPAWN1000]

@benfriedtviking3000 Does Bentley give TG problems? I think Jeremy is 1" away from WORSHIPPING Bentleys,atleast the Arnage and Brooklands.Saying that it`s a footballers car,well thats just the truth.And the Challenger,that WAS bought.Only it was R.Hammond who bought it AND took it home with him.And i don`t think he`ll have a problem paying 4 it either.Hella funny when Jeremy parked it in the street with(or rather WITHOUT) the keyless-whatsitcalled:-D

[benfriedtviking3000]

@EVILSPAWN1000 Bentley always gives TG problems and Jeremy always talks bad about them haha and yeah that was hilarious.

[EVILSPAWN1000]

@jasonkim11 The upcoming covertible will have "normal" doors.And beeing a direct decendent of the 300 SL gullwing i think it NEEDS gullwing doors.But hey,thats me;-)

[pokesfan92]

i don't know why but I'm not a big fan of the body. It just doesn't look 'mean'. That engine sure as hell does!!

[Jacksterblud]

you can tell that he's a proper bloke because he said look at the trunk and look at the quality. But what sold it to him? The power and the doors. Top bloke.

[dantee33]

cameraman seatbelt ffs ! noise :) !!!

[beepleboop99]

0:45 Actually 2011!

[mynameisjohnhealy]

5 people work for BMW's M division

[huze5]

@mynameisjohnhealy They hired 4 more.

[kayu38]

this would actually be a decent tv show if only it had better quality,cameraman,etc all that good stuff...

[mario102395]

I wonder if jay has any other clothes . I only ever see him with those jeans and the same shirt allllllllll the time.

[mnagmobile1]

DONT BUY SLS AMG. The craftsmanship is HORRIBLE! For a company who claims "luxury and perfection" they can't even get the dashboard right. If you google the SLS dash the middle screen is off center. 180,000 for that shit? I think not.

[gce9884]

@mnagmobile1 ...yes guys listen to mnagmobile1! OMG in the photos in google the dashboard is about 2 inches not in the middle...it's oh so horrible...and the guy in some blog said he saw some photo that shows the left tire is bigger than the right... i believe it's horrible because of the photos... it's like beyonces left boob is bigger than the right...therefore beyonce is not hot.

jeeeesh. i suggest you ride one before you blab...google....sheeesh...off­-centered dashboard...big deal

[mnagmobile1]

@gce9884 lol i was just joking :p this is my favorite car.

[TopGear801]

good you find a 300 sl in the desert i wish i founded

[droppinsumfudge]

@TopGear801 youre more likely to find that than the english language

[BigInfinite]

WHATS GOOD WIT MY MAN'S JAY HAIR B4 HE STARTED THE CAR LOL

[tweeny55]

can't wait for the roadster/cabriolet.

[Midknight1124]

You can use it all the time...until you need to park between 2 cars, and realise you can't get out because of the doors :P

[Areyouduckingserious]

Looks better with the door open XD

[Nicool333]

Those are all unbelievable cars in the background..Countach, Ferraris, carrera, etc.

[GOUGOUNETTE]

Like that Jay Leno is awsome..

[hondahp18]

Jay Leno's the MAN!

[levlevi]

what u mean found in container

[g0ttsche]

Okay, let me get this right. To have all these cars you either gotta be a talkshow host, frontman for an english funkband or a stand-up comedian with your own TV-series... ??

[olipalli1]

@g0ttsche LOL. yea. or a manager, have ur own big company. a lot of ways

[suchtripod]

Jay Leno for top gear america!!!

[reppin49dank]

top gear america sucks balls!!!! cant beat the brtt top gear

but if they put jay leno in!! it would be awesome for top gear america

[yorrickwi]

@reppin49dank exactly my thought

[alexwilsonNC]

@reppin49dank If Leno had a real car show instead of just an internet one, it could be superior to the original Top Gear. He has so many cars and bikes in his own collection.... They could do 2 seasons of shows just at his garage.

[gearhead22996]

@reppin49dank jay leno was asked to host the american top gear but he said no because he thought it would take away from the original british show

[earthfeeler]

Hahahahahahaha "It seems like it should be Hans Uchmark! "

[brydon189]

@sup3rcars make it sarah palin please, we hate her too

[mrpissedoffdude]

who's jey leno? never heard of him.

[00StangGT00]

@mrpissedoffdude please tell me you're kidding

[mrpissedoffdude]

@00StangGT00 i was trying to make a point that his name is spelled wrong. its JAY leno not jey

[mrpissedoffdude]

would be awesome if top gear america repacled that fat bearded dude with jay leno

[edward500mp]

Such a beautiful car inside and out. Sounds mean too, like a hungry tiger.

[Bluemanclarinet3]

Need to get the video of Jays SLR Mclaren!!

[kixnet]

Jay Leno is the American Jeremy Clarkson

[brydon189]

@kixnet except jeremy clarkson is funny

[kenshi187]

sounds like a sw pod racer!

[MrFayomari]

I am Robert Fuller, this is my MERC !!

[viggoM35]

It would probably take a month to test drive all his cars.

[macgyvere]

3:46 :)

[rubiks15]

Finally someone who knows the difference between gullwing doors and scissor doors!! Thank God!!

[anthonycarl2020]

i like it. the exhaust sounds like that?

[moomoodeadcow]

His hair reminds me of Elvis Presley.

[VanTheManSLB]

A 6.2 L NA V8 with 570hp... you don't get that in America ;)

7 speed gearboxes aren't so unusual, too

[laughinguys]

How can anyone 'dislike' this video?

[michaelballack]

idk if you guys notice but throughout the vid Leno's hair goes through different stages! haha

[IceWaterInc]

sick car but i still prefer the slr, no real reason why.

[moomoodeadcow]

@IceWaterInc It's more subtle. If you like it that way.

[dareallink]

conans for taurus is better than any of his cars..

[ebouchelle]

Jay Leno- we all appreciate a person who knows his cars. You rock man.

[EliteSlayer542]

I can imagine the gullwings to be a bitch in tight parking lots...

[Porsche1080]

The best mercedes. Period

[wimmyroadisback]

stupid fat moronic american. more money than brains. Next time do more research rather than reading the catalogue u fat cunt.

[SupaDupaSkata]

Fuck this guy...

[LaddieGalicia]

Jay Leno you are one lucky man

[lemoneleven17]

you spelled jay wrong

[iPwNNerdz]

Fake Leno is a fake car collector

[PijnigeR]

Awesome car. Just one thing. The wheels look cheap ass. But a lot of modern supercars have that problem...

[aphasia1972]

@PijnigeR i dont no but this is an awesome supercar and there is more power to come wait when BRABUS another famous german car tuning company will customize the engine and the whole car .

i guess it will have more than 600 hp for sure.

[PijnigeR]

@aphasia1972 I don't care a lot about Brabus. I think this AMG is just awesome as it is. Just the wheels need to be changed:)

[jltzd]

Jay needs his own test track!

[phatpandaz]

i wonder how much is his insurance a month for all is cars. 

[purpleinthehead]

@phatpandaz Must be cheap

[beermilitia]

@phatpandaz once your wealthy and you can prove you can pay for any damages in a wreck you dont have to have insurance, so im told.

[123columbo123]

@phatpandaz how many cars has he got

[driftracerjohn11]

@123columbo123 tons

[liud128]

@phatpandaz no need, he can just buy a replacement

[coolity88]

@phatpandaz about 800.000

[240zguy240]

@phatpandaz he probably gets a mean volume discount

[icefox1983]

@phatpandaz maybe nothing because many are collector cars w/o plates

[MrIlovebmw86]

@phatpandaz

haha so true. must be in the millions

[ironintel]

@phatpandaz he makes so much money it nothing to him

[Toddmars]

@phatpandaz they estimate something close to 300,000 a year

[Mr123camaroz28]

@phatpandaz i say at least 1 million

[wewtaco]

@phatpandaz I wonder if they give him a bulk discount

[1993gandy]

@phatpandaz $10000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000

[moshemi]

@1993gandy no it's somthing like 999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­9999999999999$

[boobie284]

@phatpandaz i wonder if his insurance(for a year) is only .001% of his paycheck...weekly

[Golfinnder]

@phatpandaz hey man! what did Jay for having all that expensives cars? did he win the lotery? WTF!

[BOWENSblog]

@Golfinnder He makes 45 million dollars a year... for like 10 years. he made less the years before that...

[JH4292]

Mr 1980's will probbaly do his back in bending over to open that door.

[V12Carlucci]

jay leno for top gear america

[markowina]

manual please??

[markmarshall39]

@V12Carlucci excellent choice!!

[juukame]

:35 wot sort of incompetent fool wouldn't know a mercedes 300 sls and just leave it in the desert in a container? seriously.

[maxwax117]

i want his atom

[SupERf430fIED]

Haha JEY Leno..

[gogogadgetcar]

The old gullwing merc had style, the new SLS looks OK from the front but from behind it look's like a plastic corvette....this will appeal to bling it up drug dealers....so look out for it on a street near you soon!

[gogogadgetcar]

[suprakilzz26]

Sat in one at the Greenwich Concourse De Elegance, and honestly this was the most exciting car for me i was looking so forward to liking it. And i did the car was awesome. The one big thing that really bothered me is that the A pillars really do lower forward visibility. Besides that its one helluva car!

[sukh126]

lol i remember when peopke were getting excited when the cars started coming with 5 speed gearboxs.. nowa days my little audi tt has 6 gears.

[DRisLegend200919]

563hp

[TheBuckers2000]

My dads just got it in Red soooo nice :)

[TheLWZ]

How's it go: Hans Unshmach!!!

[ELSTEVIEO]

two people need to fix the aim because the like button IS a lot bigger than the dislike,

i cant see anybody disliking this car or jay leno...

[dareallink]

he dsnt have the 1992 ford taurus sho:)

[comlax22]

@dareallink He's no Conan and never will be, no matter how many cars he owns!

[TheFillen3]

Too fat.

[dancelittlesquire]

He's got to do a test on his Ariel Atom!

[dancelittlesquire]

He needs to do a test on his Ariel Atom!

[funkyjim]

@dancelittlesquire I did a track day a few weeks ago where I drove some ferraris and a lamborghini, then at the end one of the drivers took me for a few laps in an atom, and as soon as he put his foot down, all the supercars i'd driven felt like trucks lol you cannot imagine just how fast an atom is until youve been in one. Thats my review lol

[yonen]

jay u r 1 lucky son of a b*#@!

[vithaj92]

I want a clutch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[BrazilianSouljah]

AMG Mercedes Benz the BEST and Fuck the REST period.

[moonfox3]

hes got 2 miura's and a countach!

[jdang]

yea you better have bought an r8 chin man

[jlaguna91]

if you look closely in 4:58, the speedometer says 240mph.? thas more then the SLR McLaren./ buh SLS is slower and not as powerfull as the mighty SLR.? whys that.?

[MrR3M3DY3]

thumbs up for automatic door-handles.

[zjumps33]

ill still take a M3 :P

[buttnut1080]

I feel like the Pagani Zonda F Clubsport is the perfect car for Jay to have on this web show. Its all the things he loves: all carbon fiber, AMG V12 in the middle, and a 6 speed manual.
