@@BeratHolidaynot really. He was respectful the whole video, I think he genuinely was just like surprised Jay didn’t have because he probably thinks highly of the car. He said right after jay said that, “that’s right, if you were to drive it’s p1 over a 720. Makes sense.
Jay, you’ve been overly modest about your recent mishaps. We love you and only wish the best for you and hope to keep seeing you do this until well past 100 years. Also, get Letterman to come out to the garage. The world needs it. Badly.
Why I watch Mr Leno's reviews? Because he asks questions like a child - "how does the back come off?" and not like a rich guy-"how fast does it go?" And he is a rich guy. love it!
Probably, he's the most down-to-earth billionaire on the whole planet. He could have the biggest mega-yacht, wear the most expensive suits and eat the latest and fanciest food. The best Caviar, the most expensive champagne - you get the idea. So much people winning the lottery go crazy and either burn their fortune - or die. As they say: No matter how much money one wins - some people stay poor forever. But he has zero interest in most fancy things. He gives a crap on what others think about him. He wears his old wrinkled denims and enjoys a nice pizza out of the box. Reminds me of the story when he asked the Lamborghini salesmen back then how to get out of a Countach when it's flipped on the roof. Obviously, you can't open the doors. *In Italian accent* "You open glovebox - there is little hammer and you knock out windscreen". Jay: "Are you crazy? A windscreen is 5000$!! I rather wait for the tow truck!! Albeit a long time ago - even back then he surely could buy one every month easily if he wanted to. He's just a blessing for all of us car and bike enthusiasts. And he enjoys sharing his (and other's) toys with us.
@stanislavczebinski994 what about his California manison and billion dollar car collection? The reason you think he's down to earth is that he wears jean shirts and jeans every single episode
@@catinthehat5140 No. The reason I know he is down to earth is - he is down to earth. Everybody who met him says he's a nice guy. Therefore, I refuse to hate him just because he's a billionaire. On one occasion at a car show, he crawled under somebody's car from 1927 as it didn't start. He worked on it for half an hour until it did. About 60 press fotographers around, cameras clicking all the time. In events like this - denim comes in handy.
I've loved this car since it's debut... I've heard other car guys (Vin wiki appraisal guys I'm looking at you) trash the Speedtail as gimmicky. I couldn't disagree more. So beautiful and so fast. Absolutely amazing car. Also, this video captured the sound really differently than other vids I've seen. Sounds great!
I love the fact the Bruce McLaren ( A Kiwi or New Zealander) started the company way back in the day and they still have the stylised Kiwi in the badge.
It's so nice when the salesman knows more then, where the high beam switch is. I didn't hear a price, so I'm guessing millions? I mean, the amount of Gold Diggers you must have to scrape of the windshield at the end of the day, must be exhausting! Thanks Uncle Jay, as always keeping it real.
I always lean forward or sideways to look left or right around the A-Pillar when I'm making a turn, where the pillar blocks my vision from my normal head position. Probably depends on the car how well this works.
I’m with you Jay! I HATE all the buttons on the steering wheels these days! Ferrari has taken it way way too far. I don’t mind a hand full of radio controls and cruise control, but that is IT! No headlight controls, no blinker controls, no wiper controls! Come on Ferrari, some things were left on a stalk.
Jay your channel is the best car channel in all TH-cam I love to watch every single video and I have done it at least twice. Also love your car show and I have watched all seasons... May God bless you and give you the time to do millions of videos you are a true Gem.... Greetings from Colombia, hope one day I can go to LA and I hope I can see you driving one of your amazing cars!!!!!
Let's hope when it comes time to manufacture actual interstellar craft, we can get the build quality just a little more buttoned down than the lads at McLaren have been managing of late. The panel gaps are gonna be kinda critical
18:04 Jay has so much knowledge about cars and the history of cars. Does somebody have access to all this knowledge that Jay has in his head? It would be sad if all this information is forgotten, and never resurface again. Jay knows and knew a lot of people and he knows a lot of different companies so he had access to a lot of information that many people would never had. Let’s get a book Jay! -Jay Leno’s History Of Cars Of The Past -Jay Leno’s Let Me Tell You About Cars -Jay Leno You Think You Know Cars We love you Jay! ❤
When sales guy is not trying to make a sale is way cooler. It also helps when you have a great product and the buyers know it's a great product. I am not in the market for sports car, but if I was, McLaren would be the brand I would be looking at. I think all their cars age well (compared to Mercedes who looks old after 10 years.)
All the best cars I've ever driven have been sub-2500 lbs. It's fascinating to me that all the fastest cars in the world are WAY over 3,000. I guess all that tech weighs plenty, but I can remember when power:weight was almost the sole contributor to out-and-out speed. Crazy machine, incredible engineering.
It's worth looking up the Gordon Murray Automotive T50, which looks like a pretty good F1 sequel... It's Gordon's idea of all the mistakes he made on the F1 fixed (not that there's many mistakes on an F1). Things like the fuel tank and tyres are much more sensible...
Beautiful car. I think anyone would. Love it. The torque must be awesome push you back in the seat power. No average person can afford one. But, really nice to wish. Like winning the lottery. Odds are this is an half a million dollar car.
The gold tools are so rare that they keep them in a safe. At Good wood this week, the Bugatti guy was saying that their average owners had 80 cars, a yacht and a jet.
I have seen Zak Brown drives one to a Few Grand Prix and Lando Norris drove 570s and Daniel Ricciardo had a McLaren 765LT. I know now Lando has his own McLaren 765LT Spider. Oscar Piastri has McLaren Artura in red.
16:41 Jay’s reply there made me crack up. When he feels like driving a McLaren, why bother driving anything other than the best they ever made? He has a P1, an F1, and the SLR. Why bother with a 720?
This is why the super car makers need to keep making limited edition halo cars. If you have an F1 there is no need to own another mclaren because you have the ultimate flex. Ferrari are the best at this business model, you own a laf apperter, that's nice but how about a " insert latest low volume invited to buy model" sir
I'm guessing Jay knows a bit about McLarens lol. He's hilarious, but I could share a car-talk coffee break with him for a month or two. Good dude for sure.
Fascinating. I wouldn't exactly call it a clean design and colour preferences are always a personal matter but an intriguing project it most certainly is. Thank you for showing.
It's not the design that makes it look not clean. And it's not the color. It's that damn busy design of the graphics. Imagine how clean it would look all one color, like silver. Its design is actually remarkably UNcluttered for a modern super car. Not loaded with tons of useless wings & spoilers everywhere ya look like ALL other super cars since about the early '80s.
Really gorgeous super car. I agree with Jay that McLaren car is always minimalist and simple. Love it. However, my high expectations is fall when found Mr. Leno more explaining car than Mr. Mullins 😂. Perhaps, Mr. Mullins as McLaren guys can explain more on SOV Speedtail.

I like the way Jay Leno said I got a P1 😂
Ya hes a real one for that

Oh that drive is hilarious, it looks like Jay is sitting in his lap!
Seeing Jay out on the 101 freeway in his Ford GT is one of my favorite celebrity sightings. A honk and a wave from the man himself.
“Im surprised you don’t have a 720”
“Well… I got a P1” lol
Codenamed prince ALBERT due to the towing ring attached to the front grill
thats funny
😂😂😂
Don't get a speeding ticket or we are going to have Prince Albert "in a can (impound yard)."
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
in case you're wondering, the F1 test mule was named ALBERT, after Albert Drive in Woking, the McLaren base at the time.
"I'm surprised you don't have one of those" - top tier sales man right there, folks.

It is nice to see Jay is having so much fun. I bet it didn't take much to convince him to do this episode.
What we really need is Jay in a T.50 in matching spec to his F1.
With Gordon himself explaining it too
I love the fact the Bruce McLaren ( A Kiwi or New Zealander) started the company way back in the day and they still have the stylised Kiwi in the badge.
I've always adored the Speedtail and it's stunning looks. And that vertical third tail light is very unique. 👌
It's so nice when the salesman knows more then, where the high beam switch is.
I didn't hear a price, so I'm guessing millions?
I mean, the amount of Gold Diggers you must have to scrape of the windshield at the end of the day, must be exhausting!
Thanks Uncle Jay, as always keeping it real.
I think it's around $2,000,000
Jay is right, A-Pillar blind spots are dangerous. I've almost hit a few pedestrians when they were in my A-pillar blind spot.
That was you?
Especially if you have gauge pods mounted on them, that sucks sometimes.
I always lean forward or sideways to look left or right around the A-Pillar when I'm making a turn, where the pillar blocks my vision from my normal head position. Probably depends on the car how well this works.
Wait you own one of these
Yeah, my 2010 Ford Flex was horrible for that, lost a motorcycle once in it.
It's gorgeous! There's something about long-tail cars that I like very much.
The man (interview partner) was not prepared for a single critical question. Sure, one can only praise.
What an interview! Jay on Jay - fair play, Jay is an expert when it comes to McLaren.
The seating arrangement is interesting you can bring your wife and your mistress on the same trip.
And they can both breath down your neck and keep neggin into either ear. Great.
I don't think they would fit if had massive implants
Ah oui, it's very French!
They probably deserved it
I love the casual way he shrugs off the 720 because he's got P1 😀
This color is really beautiful,luckily we have one in golden🥰😍
If you ever wanted to give any older car guy a fast car to drive, Jay is the man. Its a very different car design, but it works.
Just keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
I’m with you Jay! I HATE all the buttons on the steering wheels these days! Ferrari has taken it way way too far. I don’t mind a hand full of radio controls and cruise control, but that is IT! No headlight controls, no blinker controls, no wiper controls! Come on Ferrari, some things were left on a stalk.
We luv stopping by for Jay’s input on a vehicle. Dude was perfect conversationalist in this episode, seamless.
19:33 the juxtaposition between an old Grand Marquis and the Speedtail is hilarious.
So this is where the ultimate in aerodynamics takes us in cars Thanks Jay for showing us.
Proper bit of kit and timeless because of the whole ultra aero look.
Jay you do a great job, I watch you every week. Your current review of the Speedtail is revealing, it looks like the 1940s Wheels of Dreams.

One of those cars that will still have a wow factor even 30-50 years from now I guess, just gorgeous :)
Jay, only you would be allowed to drive this amazing piece of automotive history... Thank you for sharing this experience.
That paintwork is amazing. I'd like a carbon suit in that😅

Amazing machine! Damn, how cool is that thing! Thank you, Jay! You're living every car guys dream!
I agree...how many cars do you think Jay owns?
I am looking forward to the day Jay drives the new production Aptera! Efficiency above anything else!
those lines are really worth 12 weeks, its going to be one of the most valuable and unique speedtails to ever be produced
Master class by Jay Leno. Loved the part where the McLaren rep asked Jay why he didn't have a 720S and Jay said, "Why? I have a P1".
When sales guy is not trying to make a sale is way cooler. It also helps when you have a great product and the buyers know it's a great product.
I am not in the market for sports car, but if I was, McLaren would be the brand I would be looking at. I think all their cars age well (compared to Mercedes who looks old after 10 years.)
Hey Jay I was just looking to see when the last restoration blog was (as this is my favourite!) and it was in March so please do another one!
Once again, Jay Leno gets to drive the cool stuff first. Congrats Jay. What a job. It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it.
Yeah most definitely the first to drive the 3 year old car lol 😂
very good designed mclaren ever with the f1 and p1 model good video jay.
The one who designed the look of the McLaren Speedtail was watching the movie The Wraith and got the idea from the car in that movie.
This car will go down in history as one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
I saw one at the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance in Connecticut and it was beautiful!
All the best cars I've ever driven have been sub-2500 lbs. It's fascinating to me that all the fastest cars in the world are WAY over 3,000. I guess all that tech weighs plenty, but I can remember when power:weight was almost the sole contributor to out-and-out speed. Crazy machine, incredible engineering.
Center cockpit is why the 1994 F1 is my favorite. They should of carried it throughout the newer models.
It's worth looking up the Gordon Murray Automotive T50, which looks like a pretty good F1 sequel... It's Gordon's idea of all the mistakes he made on the F1 fixed (not that there's many mistakes on an F1). Things like the fuel tank and tyres are much more sensible...
thank you jay for the memoirs me and my dad would always watch your show together when it was on tv keep it please don't die form a steam car
Now we need the GMA T50 in the show.
Beautiful car. I think anyone would. Love it. The torque must be awesome push you back in the seat power. No average person can afford one. But, really nice to wish. Like winning the lottery. Odds are this is an half a million dollar car.
The gold tools are so rare that they keep them in a safe. At Good wood this week, the Bugatti guy was saying that their average owners had 80 cars, a yacht and a jet.
I love the McLaren car with a middle seat. This is the identity of McLaren because it represents Formula One for public roads
Art on wheels. That color: 👌🏻
JAY, you gotta get the new Prius Prime on your show. Amazing looks and efficiency.
Ah, McLaren finally built a car that can keep up with a McLaren F1. I really like the Speedtail for a lot of the same reasons I like The Murray T.50.
9:16 😂 oh Jay...😅 & "how does one service this?"😅❤
Can't wait for Koenigsegg to visit Jay again with their latest and greatest
I have seen Zak Brown drives one to a Few Grand Prix and Lando Norris drove 570s
and Daniel Ricciardo had a McLaren 765LT. I know now Lando has his own McLaren 765LT Spider. Oscar Piastri has McLaren Artura in red.
I love how much knowledge and interest Jay have!
Great to see McLaren getting some love. Wonderful cars.
Great video ❤Jay 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The interior of this car reminds me of the F1. Three seats. Interesting way to drive it.
The front-end would be a good influence for the Corvette c9!
It reminds me of the Wraith (M4S Turbo Interceptor) Which actually had a lower drag Coef of .236
Except the interceptor had that 4x4 like wheel gap lol. Always loved those black and polished aluminum bbs wheels...
Cut scene getting into that thing.
Amazing!!! That paint job looks strait out of GTA!
It would be really cool if you could get a T.50 and a conversation with Gordon Murray.
That is a fabulous spec
Another great video of the future thanks Jay hope you guys have a wonderful blessed week see you later
Awesome and I get the impression the gentleman was a bit awed by Jay. And who wouldn’t be. Plus he’s was a class act. Just great.
This actually IS cool. Nailed it from that description.

I really wanted a demonstration of the rising ailerons in the rear. I'm trying to imagine what that would look like,
Sounds alot rowdier than someone might assume based on the streamlined looks. Gorgeous styling.
I'm guessing Jay knows a bit about McLarens lol. He's hilarious, but I could share a car-talk coffee break with him for a month or two. Good dude for sure.
In a word, SPECIAL.Enough said.
About time I see that 2160p option under a jay leno video
16:40 "Because I have a P1."
Big woop, even Tavarish has a P1 lol.
Yeah, A former U-Boat
Wow that thing reminds me of Jay's McLaren F1. Cool seating configuration. Very nice and exotic. Beautiful shape. Future is here.❤❤🫠🤑🤑👍😎.
At low revs, it's the best looking diesel I've ever seen.
Jay is a national treasure
Sounds incredible
Jay, McLaren is one of my favorite car companies as well
Thank you Mr. Leno for another great car review🙏🏽
The coolest looking Mclaren.
Back end of it looks almost like the oldsmobile aerotech or that prototype car oldsmobile had in the 90s
And the fire extinguisher is so handy. Man, I really dig the modern innovations. 🤔
It caught fire testing in the UK, ironically.
It was sly when the guest said, “I’m surprised you don’t have one,” He was trying to set up a sale. I found it so funny.

Jay Leno you need this rare offering. one of 23 ISO Grifo w/351 Cleveland motor. She’s Italian for the best Italian out there.
Thank you again for awesome videos! Mr Jay Leno's ☕
Jay has the most underrated sound effects
I remember when the guys from Top Gear raced a McLaren Speedtail against an F-35B a few years ago.
Fun little trip. Thanks fellas
Jay Leno You Should Buy One
The only car that can propell more than 2 passengers over 400kph/250mph 😎
In few years the Gemera will come into that exclusive club 👌
Really gorgeous super car.
I agree with Jay that McLaren car is always minimalist and simple. Love it.
However, my high expectations is fall when found Mr. Leno more explaining car than Mr. Mullins 😂. Perhaps, Mr. Mullins as McLaren guys can explain more on SOV Speedtail. What is different with previous Speedtail beside its paint work.
Hat off to Mr. Leno, McLaren F1 is part of his soul...😊
