Jay Leno's Jet Car Goes Green
Jay Leno's EcoJet Car Boosts 650 Horsepower on Bio-Diesel.
Like all great feats of the imagination, Jay Leno's EcoJet began life on a napkin. The heart of the EcoJet is a 650-horsepower Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine, which sits inside a modified Corvette Z06 aluminum frame.

The primary goal was to design and build a car that ran on environmentally friendly, renewable bio-diesel fuel and that didn't drive like a Prius. Of course, as Jay has quipped, that makes harvest time the only time of year when there'll be plenty of fuel available, but that's beside the point.

The vehicle's shell is an advanced construction of carbon fiber over Kevlar, and the body is painted with environmentally friendly paint from Glasurit's 9 Line Waterborne Technology lines, which is designed to dramatically reduce emissions during application.

Though the car was built almost entirely at Jay's Big Dog Garage, the design and engineering was actually overseen by GM under the leadership of Ed Welburn, GM Vice President of Global Design and Frank Saucedo, head of GM's Design Studio in North Hollywood, California.

Hi Jay,
I think I saw the coyote try this with an ACME jet engine. It ended badly, so you be careful with this thing. I'll bet Conan has nothing like it. Cheers.
