Our favorite denim-clad host is back for a second season of Jay Leno’s Garage and it stepped off strong last night. Super strong, if you will, given the episode’s theme was supercars. All of the greats of yesteryear and today were represented in glorious, noisy fashion. Watching the comic pilot some of the rarest of the rare induced serious pangs of jealousy, particularly when he was given wheel time with the Koenigsegg One:1. Below, our favorite revelations. Leno’s 1955 Mercedes-Benz Gullwing sounds goddamn incredible. This would be the very same one that got mangled a few weeks back on his YouTube show. We never heard it in that video, but now as it roars through the San Gabriel Mountains during the opening sequence, it sounds deliriously good. Leno posits the 300SL was the first supercar. His evidence stacks up: crazy expensive ($7,295 at the time), first production car with fuel injection, and that I-6 was good for 215 horsepower, an outrageous number for the era. Frank Sinatra and Miles Davis both owned Lamborghini Miuras. Both crooners snapped up Lambo’s most beautiful bull, the first car to be called a supercar. Leno rips his own V12, 360-horsepower wedge around, giving us a taste of how good natural aspiration can sound. Leno claims the first-gen Countach is comfortable. After wedging himself into a 1977 Countach LP400 Periscopio, that beautiful angular coupe from Marcello Gandini, Leno declares it a comfortable machine. (I’m going to politely disagree, having just driven one in Miami, my knees up somewhere near my chin.) However, the mid-mounted, 4-cam V12 is objectively a fine engine. Franco Barbuscia deserves his own show. The owner of Franco’s European Sports Cars Service in Van Nuys, CA, is a freaking riot. Barbuscia is an old school mechanic from Italy who specializes in Italian sports cars, particularly of the vintage variety. Given how rarely aging Italian steeds function properly, business is presumably booming. Barbuscia’s full of quips that only an old man can get away with dropping, such as, “The Ferrari looks like a nice girl. The Lamborghini? That’s a man’s car.

The Diablo VT was the first Lamborghini to crack 200 miles per hour. The 1999 VT was the first bull after Chrysler bought Lambo, and those 492 ponies were enough to get the coupe hauling. Nick Cannon owns an exotic car dealership. Yes, seriously. Leno swings by the rather modest outfit to hear why Cannon decided to sell exotics—“I wanted to turn my hobby into a business”—and see some of his offerings. There’s a Ferrari 599, with that priceless 6.0-liter V12 Enzo engine, a 2006 Ford GT, which Cannon bought because it reminded him of his Hot Wheels cars, and a Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe that he bought for his grandfather but is now selling. Cannon only likes supercars for the stares. Cannon, who inexplicably wears oversized headphones around his neck for the duration of his interview, takes Leno for a top down cruise in a 2013 Ferrari California, cautioning Leno that he’s a slow driver. “I go two miles an hour so everyone can see [me].” Leno rightly asks, 'why own supercars if you don’t like speed?'. “Girls like it,” Cannon replies. Sigh. The Koenigsegg One:1 is a megawatt fever dream. Leno meets the man himself, Christian von Koenigsegg at Michelin’s proving grounds in South Carolina to fire the One:1 around. For the uninitiated, there are only six One:1s and one prototype, and Leno’s about to drive the only one in the United States. The name comes from the magical formula of having one horsepower for every one kilogram of car. And with 1,360 horsepower, it’s also the first production car to have one megawatt of power, making it the first megacar. (Number of "1"'s in this paragraph? Twelve.)
