Jay Leno leaving 2009 Art Center Car Classic in his EcoJet turbine-powered concept car

[TheoneGodfather]

I like it.

[LouieLandsCandyTreat]

Yea....Jay is a regular guy, just like us......What's he own, like a thousand cars?

[plutoamun]

Thats one ugly car. She's one of those girls with a nice a** but not a good face.

[OSEK209]

Wow can't even make a tight turn, not a classic, and is wayy to loud.? Dislike.

[fitzeflinger]

my ears are fuckin bleeding

[tavert]

@leedaocheng "Classic" refers to the name of the event: the "Art Center Car Classic" is an annual car show at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.

[wmoltke]

thats a cadillac, koenigsseg and a 1965 buick hibrid........ very ecougly...

[bored1980]

Is it "Eco", as in economical or "Eco" as in ecological? Or neither?

[scienceviewfinder]

Very cool doors. I wish i could show Jay my google sci fair vid and he could really make that car live up to its name.

Watch and see what u think.

[vdubjay98]

actually the whole thing is very cadillac-esque

[tavert]

@vdubjay98 Yes, there was a Cadillac concept car called the Cien from several years earlier that looks pretty similar.

[vdubjay98]

front end is very "cadillac-esque"

[ThAiStIx1]

I'll take it!!

[chad174670]

omfg that is ear piercing, but I old people can't hear that frequency so I guess Jay doesn't mind

[elsupermemocho]

sounds like shit

[manhenk]

sssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhh......

[Snafu246]

I'd rather listen to this next to me at a stop light than some ghetto bird in this Crapilac Escalade booming some ghetto tunes.

[hansels13b13rnn14]

is one kind of car, this is not for regular folk or city folks

[nawitus]

Jet turbines are more efficient at really high speeds only as far as I know.

[lilmario0]

got damn sounds like it timetravels lmaoo

[OskarMatzerath95]

eco = economical?

[SinisterDexter1]

noisy tat. Theres no way a turbine is more eco friendly than a recip... end of story.

[mikemjohnson]

@SinisterDexter1 jet turbines are the most efficient engines on the planet. a ramjet (though thats not what this is) has no moving parts for example. and jet fuel is cheaper to make but sells for a higher premium because theres the demand

[pyroboy08]

@mikemjohnson ramjets need a very high airflow from an external source to work, but a valveless pulse jet also has no moving parts and can run at a dead stop and have no intake on the front for things to get sucked into

[leapoffaith20]

@pyroboy08 its also quite inefficient and is as loud as fuck. not the kind of thing I's want to power a car with.

[jamesthegreat16]

@leapoffaith20 but it can also run on nearly anything .. unleaded, diesel , cooking oil , even tequila !!!!

[highvoltagefeathers]

@SinisterDexter1 most of the natural gas powerplants are giant turboshaft engines. While its true that most jet turbines we see are geared twoards power rather than efficiency (jet aircraft, jet fighters, jet dragsters, turbine boats, etc.) certain designs allow them to produce more power per gallon than any other type of engine.

[nandoanalog]

oh it´s ugly...

[russotragik]

@nandoanalog what do you want?

a Lamborghini or a Porsche Design?

huahuHAhuHUAuuhAhuhuauhHUHUauH­AU

[TarisRedwing]

dude if cops stop me for my WRX exhaust how is this legal to drive on the road sound wise?

[polarisnuke]

@TarisRedwing The simple answer to that is... money really does change everything. I thought the same thing with some of his other contraptions. The tank engine car comes to mind.  Cool as hell but louder than the original tank was.

[klasemoutarxidia13]

that's awesome i wish i could buy it...

[ufoengines]

I too have been working with the idea of a "green turbine car"

For those intrerested...check out my "Tesla Turbine Powered Go Kart" youtube.

[Bear5434]

Sweet!
