Jay Leno's EcoJet




Topic started on 1-8-2009 @ 12:14 PM by mrmonsoon


Yes folks, J has another jet power vechile.

This makes three if you are counting.

Leno has both a motorcycle and a pickup truck powered by "jet" turbine engines, so the plan was to create an automobile that would run on a similar powerplant fueled by biodiesel.


What they were mating were a Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine with some 700 bhp and upwards of 500 lb-ft of torque to a GM 4-speed automatic transmission. This driveline was installed amidships in a reworked Corvette aluminum frame surrounded by the carbon fiber body.


Yahoo Auto's

Must be nice to have that kinda money to sopend on fun toys like that.
