Jay Leno’s automobile assortment encompasses all kinds of marques, from the acquainted to the very esoteric. However one identify is lacking: Ferrari. In a December 2021 look on the podcast “Vehicles and Tradition,” Leno defined why he would not personal a single automobile with the Prancing Horse badge.

“I simply by no means appreciated coping with the sellers,” Leno mentioned. “It is not an indictment of the automobile.”

Contemplating how costly the vehicles are, Leno feels Ferrari sellers do not deal with clients correctly. Within the brief clip, he cited Ferrari sellers forcing clients to purchase a number of vehicles to be able to safe orders, and claimed the corporate strong-arms homeowners into paying for certificates of authenticity. Different supercar builders do higher, he mentioned.

Leno recalled McLaren providing a free energy improve for his MP4-12C, and a salesman truthfully telling him that he did not must spend $20,000 on carbon-ceramic brakes. Leno is an enormous McLaren fan; he is owned an F1 since new and was the primary exterior McLaren to drive a P1, however regardless, it is arduous to argue with service like that.

Equally, Leno mentioned Porsche delivered his Carrera GT to his storage and gave him a full walkthrough of the automobile (which turned out to be a bit unreliable, admittedly). Ferrari would by no means present that stage of service, he claims.

Leno mentioned Ferrari nonetheless makes “glorious” vehicles, and he is featured a number of on his “Jay Leno’s Storage” YouTube present, starting from a traditional 1960 250 PF Cabriolet to a contemporary SF90 Stradale. One perk of getting a well-liked YouTube present is that, even in case you do not wish to take care of the potential complications of proudly owning a Ferrari, you may at all times borrow one.
