2006 Sema Show: Jay Leno's 650Hp Turbine-Powered EcoJet Supercar Concept


Tonight's Show host Jay Leno, a well known car-nut, revealed an impressive concept at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The Ecojet Supercar is powered by a Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine that runs on bio-diesel fuel producing 650Hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine sits in a modified Corvette Z06 hydroformed aluminium frame with aluminium and magnesium structural and chassis components. The vehicle's shell is an advanced construction of carbon fiber over Kevlar.


If you're thinking that the styling is very reminiscent to Cadillac's current design language, your absolutely right as the EcoJet Concept was conceived by GM's Advanced Design Studio in California. Via: Autoblog.com
