This guy is so freaking good at explaining stuff. I am in awe. i’m sure it doesn’t get any better than this.

[@Mike-dy8sj]

I hope your talking about Jay. Because the other guy definitely was not very knowledge. He didn't explain anything that a car guy doesn't already know and understand.

[@gianmarco8494]

@@Mike-dy8sj so true glad im not the only one who noticed

[@MrCesar350]

I like how this guy it's not afraid to mention other companies

Whoever decided to send this dude is a genius.

[@rjkeenan8955]

Jay 245 ci or about. Oh and this "guy" is Tommy Kendall. Maybe look him up and read some.

[@peterstainer731]

Successful people are never crazy like poor people I noticed they usually will compare effectively

[@guytansbariva2295]

I'm surprised that Jay thought that cars traction control was just "on or off". Even 20 years ago, many cars had "wet, snow, mud" etc settings.

[@scottimusgarrett15]

Unreal car. I really like how Kendall is kinda fan-boy over the car, like he's truly stoked to talk about and ride in it, while giving a technical analysis of it. He's definitely a true car guy; I always enjoy seeing him on here! Thanks, Jay and crew for another great episode!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

[@rickjason215]

Ridiculous that it can’t be used on the street in the US. I want to drive my cars. Putting my car on a tow truck to the track is just too much work. The car is almost useless. This guy representing the car is really terrific.

[@peterstainer731]

How couldn’t you be a fan! I bet there is at least 500 million people in the USA alone that would absolutely kill for this car and think about the fact that they only made like 1000 of them …… it makes gold look less than worthless

[@philipdubuque9596]

You had me at "...race car in a tuxedo" Well... you had me way before that. This video is a perfect example of why I eagerly wait for each new 'ride'. Jay, your obvious connoisseurship of the driving experience is what lifts these episodes beyond vicarious pleasure. Loved it. Keep it coming!

[@easyricer]

I have a BA degree in Automotive Technology from 1992. I started my apprenticeship in 1986. Just the difference in technologies in those 6 years is astounding. The industry moves so fast that if you don't constantly study, you're lost in days, not in years. I can clearly remember learning about Can-Bus wiring controls and ceramic pistons in the 80's but didn't see it widely used until well into the turn of the century. My father has a masters degree in the same field from the early 80's. When I brought home an 86 Shelby Daytona, we both walked around it astonished at the technology crammed into it. When we figured out that it could troubleshoot itself, we both knew that (as mechanics), we had just been down graded to parts changers! Thanks Jay, this one is a good reminder of how fast technology is moving.

[@mrmatthewpaul]

Tommy Kendall still looks good. I remember meeting him in the days of AMG challenge... He is an amazing driver.

[@phil4986]

Mr. Leno and Mr. Kendall thank you for showing us this timeless road going race car. This Mercedes more then any other they sell today , harkens back to a time when Mercedes was truly a craftsmanship driven company. To see these race cars on track and they are fighting against much more aero clean cars and beating them always amazes me. That front end is a true jewel of this car and the resulting blending all the way around the car is just perfect. When I see just the regular road cars Mercedes makes like this I always smile. Because this is a car done right. In every way. Bravo Mercedes Bravo.

[@mikehotchkiss8975]

Glad to hear from Tommy. Mad respect to Robert and always to Jay. Stay safe and healthy as we will always have an appetite for quality cars and smart people talking about them

Humblebrag

[@jonathankinney14]

"JAY FVCKIN LENO" !!!

[@AB-80X]

@@mollari2261 Not even a humblebrag. Reality is that Jay is getting old, and he is saying and doing some odd stuff, not counting the fact that he is not at all up to date with what was going on. I doubt he has been to the AMG factory since he got his McLaren Merc. It's like 20 years ago.

[@mamixon100]

Not Baller. Shows they aren't over producing. How many SQ FT do you need? Our warehouse is 60K SQ FT. 20 million in supplies.

[@leancove9662]

I have been a fan of you Jay, I don`t know since when, I`m in your age group and this is the first time I am responding on any one of your Garage episodes. The knowlage you have given me(and this gentleman with you) in this episode alone, technical, history, disign, philosophy, is beond compare. Thanks so much for all that, from a Canadian.

[@JasonAkrami1]

One of my favorite guests. Knows his stuff. I learned a ton about racing cars just now! Beautiful car as well. 🚙 🏎

[@paulfoster4686]

Thanks Jay, always compelling to sit in on a conversation between two people who know their stuff

[@narennallapareddy2994]

Jay is like an automobile encyclopedia 😂

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Jay always appears to half space-out when his guests start explaining technical stuff. Or when his guests exclaim some surprise about the car's dynamics, Jay sitting over there staring into space. hahaha

[@JeeperZJ]

Had one in the shop a couple weeks ago for a final inspection after it had to spend some time at the body shop. Truly an amazing machine.

[@richardvervoorn6626]

As a lover of everything automotive Jay always has a valid point of view regardless of the era he and his guest discuss. I enjoy the fact that his recollections draw various parallels between old and new. I suppose that he and I are of the same age but I find that certain aspects of his love of cars and generally what he appreciates about the experience of driving are similar to how I myself experience living in the drivers seat. I too, have always shunned asking the car to do things that it was not ‘intended’ to do, witness launch control and ‘overtaxing’ drivetrains etc. Give me a rolling start putting the car through its paces and enjoying the feedback while rolling on the power. Jay provides me with all things automotive, I so much appreciate the details of restoration and maintenance in the various videos where we get to see the ‘bones’ of what makes cars so enjoyable. I am looking forward to his speedy and complete recovery to the point where he’s back doing what he loves best. A real GENUINE guy…!

[@typer765]

Tommy has hardly aged in 20 years, always had a gift for delivering informative, engaging analysis on whatever he's covering. Met him in Monterey a while back, fun times.

[@rblbatb]

Mad respect to AMG. If I had the money, this would be awesome to own.

The “Corona” show’s are still my favorites but when Jay gets someone on that’s an honest knowledgeable car guy, someone on Jay’s level or even more, just like Tommy, it makes such a great show!!! I love it when they are just enjoying the time with the cars. Great Episode Jay!!!!! Thank you both!!! I hope you heal up very soon and you’ll be in our prayers. Thank you!

8 commericials but more than worth it. Could listen to the two of them, and their knowledge, again and again. Both so filled with knowledge, but still adding some of that to each other. This was just excellent. It's why we watch this channel.

[@MarinCipollina]

No commercial intrusions here.

[@mousearebec]

@@MarinCipollina Well just haven't set up to eliminate commercials. Jay Leno is worth the 15 second or so intrusions.

[@CanyonsCarver]

As a car and AMG guy , I can clearly relate to this guy. I learned so much from him than any other guess in years of watching this show.

[@jimgaddio6255]

I'm not from the stone age like Jay but even I remember back in the late 80's when you would see people changing tires every time you went on the expressway. And every big parking lot you would see someone getting a jumpstart from a kind stranger. It's nostalgic but also ... I'm glad cars work now.

[@stephenhenion8304]

This is One Badass Machine... the looks, the sound . The Whole package says, "Get out of my Way!"

[@NikulPrasad]

This guy is good, solid articulation and expression for the job.

[@freddybeacher]

I love that this channel is able to get some of the most unique and newest cars available. The problem I face watching this is Jay seems to have less knowledge about current vehicles then a layman and waxes nostalgic about yesteryear vehicles with carbs and steam power. Its like showing a Tesla to your grandpa. (which I have done). Its an awkward silence when Jay compares it to something from 50 yrs ago. What are you supposed to say? Like he stopped reading Car & Driver in 1990

[@sum-tingwong9936]

"The AMG factory isn't much bigger than my garage." A sentence we all wish we could say lol. Life goals. 👍

[@patrickmccauley8463]

I worked for Joe on Sunset when my Hollywood hustle crashed. Joe is a badass pizza master. I delivered to some wildly famous people who met Joe in NYC and continue to rave about his pies. Joe has a distinct way of yelling at someone while being friendly enough to make you wonder why one would go anywhere else? I didn’t realize how Joe is Pizza royalty and crazy famous for making the best pizza in LA of not world. Have him make you a White Pie and it is so good. It makes me cry. I live 400 miles away from LA and hearing his name makes me want to get in my car and drive 8 hours to get a slice. Joe is a badass pizza master.

[@SerPurple51]

@@patrickmccauley8463 hahaha that's great. I'm sure his Pizza is great. There's a local joint around here that's the same thing. People come from far away just to get his pizza.

[@jamesfraley2715]

Only Jay would compare this precision machine to cars from the 1930s - Bentley, Cord, and Citroen - and even throwing in a Stanley Steamer from 1906 for good measure. Got a bad a case of the 'Back in the olden days' and the 'I remember whens.'

Love hearing about the specs of this thing. My C63 AMG weighs 3816 pounds this thing is only a couple hundred pounds lighter. But to hear about the brakes and everything else, makes me love it even more, wish I had the money for one of these things. This car is nasty 🤘🤘 thanks Jay for this, and for bringing in a race car driver to help explain it all as well

Jay Leno always gets great cars on his show. This makes his show fun to watch. Especially when it's this car. The original AMG GT was brilliant.

[@paulsmith4996]

I might not like this type of hypercar, but it was really enjoyable to listen to Mr Kendall and Mr Leno talking about all the aspects of the car, performance, aerodynamics, heating, cooling etc. It is a real tour de force from Mercedes-Benz. Looks pretty comfortable to potter around in as well ....but without the wing. 😆

[@iosgaming2824]

This isn’t the hyper car he was referring to, that’s the Mercedes AMG One, but this car is considered a race car. By the way Mercedes announced yesterday and posted a video of a lap on the nurinburg that showed the Mercedes AMG One setting a lap record for the fastest production car on the nuirburug, it be the record Porsche previously set by 8 seconds but it’s alleged that if the road wasn’t as wet as it was and the driver pushed the car more that it could’ve done around five seconds quicker
