Jay Leno Vists AMG in Affalterbach to Test Drive SLS Roadster with Video

American TV host Jay Leno is a real car guy. No doubt about it. He even has his own web site where once a week he posts a video of one car or motorcycle from his collection. He also gets around. Already this month, he posted a video of taking delivery and driving his McLaren MP4-12C in England, and now Mercedes has posted a video of him visiting AMG at its headquarters in Affalterbach test driving the new SLS Roadster.

“When I was 18 or 19 years old I worked for Mercedes-Benz in America. I knew about the test track in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim from films in which Mercedes sedans like the 220 SE or the 300 SEL 6.3 were driven through the banked curve. I have always wanted to see this for real. It took me over 40 years to do it, but now I'm here! It's fantastic to drive the latest AMG models here on the test track today,” Jay Leno said.  

Leno also got to drive the electric SLS AMG E-Cell that makes 525hp. “It's unbelievable how the 392 kW and 880 newton metres catapult the gullwing down the track. Very impressive, especially because you hear nothing except a little wind and tyre noise,” Leno said.
