Jay Leno unveils his GM-designed, custom-built, jet-turbine-powered, biodiesel-fueled supercar at the 2006 SEMA show in Las Vegas. It's good to be the king of late night.
Saw this car running around town yesterday and it didn't smell like biodiesel it smelled alot more like karosine or jet fuel. I'm sure it will run on Barcardi 151. also.
i like jay leno, all because he has mad moneyh and he spends it right, spends it on automobiles, now thats worth it, man is he a role model for mechanics!
Imagine the waste products, noxious fumes, and emissions that were created producing the carbon fiber body, high grade turbine assembly, and the tooling needed to produce this one off car. It's a zero sum gain. Sure it burns biodiesel, but it will never be driven enough to offset the production inputs to realize a net emissions savings. Besides, this car is not the hottest biodiesel capable car around, the Audi R10 race car could easily be adapted to street and biodiesel use.
I can happily say that I got to sit in the drivers seat of this bad boy @ the national biodiesel conference 2years in a row

So GM has a history of having stopped the electric car before, but build Jay Leno a car that runs on BioDiesel? Does anyone else find that strange?
