Jay Leno owns more cars than we have numbers for. In his collection there are many classics (Lamborghini Miura), some rarities (Lamborghini Reventon) and now, a new icon of our age: the McLaren MP4-12C.
In this video, one of TG's best ever stars in our reasonably priced car talks us through his trip to the McLaren Technical Centre in Woking where he got a tour of the factory, and a lesson from test driver Chris Goodwin. And the lesson takes place at none other than our humble little track (where most of the MP4's development took place).
One of the world's biggest petrolheads gets one of the world's fastest cars. Click to watch, and then find out how the MP4 fared against the 458 Italia, via the link below. Want one?

Awesome car, but if I had that sort of money I'd still buy the Ferrari. Or just build a kit car to my specs and go race that till the tires come off. Either way I'm just dreaming...

What an opportunity. Yes, Leno has the money to make this happen, but heck, if you could afford it, wouldn't you take your custom ordered car of choice around TopGears test track with a personal instructor too?!?!?
