what the hell. I bet you that's a scam. Turbine jet engine powered toyota. shoot that thing will cost in the 6 digits at least. 18gs naw. plus the turbines in the back look too wierd. Who would want that car? As far as I know, it is illegal, too expensive to maintain,

if it isnt a scam its pretty cheap. for a jet engine only $18,500

WTF is this!? Is that stupid know about turns on the road? There is no turns, or lights or stop and go in US?!!! Of course there is but that a..s..hole never heard nothing about it!

yeah but it would be a nice car to take to the track. Race pinks and make others mad. ALthough, what cars you win will cost considerably less than the fuel needed to power up this beast.

thats just sick....hahaha

That isn't a scam. Im 100% positive. First of all, there are tons of pics. They are not photoshoped. Second of all, the price is reasonable. No MR2 would ever sell for even close to 18,5 stock. Thirdly, the guy sells auto parts, jet parts, and dragsters. Its legit, yo.

LMFAO that's hilarious.

I think that "thing is actually real.... working is another story.... thats probably why its cheap (for a jet car).

I love the giant F1 style wing on the front hahahahahaha

I wouldn't be suprised if it worked.



I like your avatar, BTW.

From www.gas-turbines.com (http://www.gas-turbines.com/)

The General Electric T58 is a free-shaft axial flow gas turbine. The compressor has 10 stages with variable inlet guide vanes and variable stators on the first three stages. The compression ratio is 8.4:1, it flows approximately 13.7 lb/s (11,000 cfm) @ 27,300 rpm. The combustion chamber is of the annular design. Two turbines drive the compressor and one drives the load through the rear at 20,500 rpm. Specific fuel consumption is 0.64 lb/shp/h. The engine weighs 350 lb [159 kg] and produces approximately 1,400 hp. With a 3.25:1 reduction gearbox this engine will produce 1,270 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm.

1400 HP per engine....Holy hell I would like to see that thing moving on the salt flats

I Found a video of this thing in action on a dry lake bed..... its real.

Didn't this guy win a Darwin Award? C'mon how could you even squeeze 2 turbine engines into a little toyota? Has anyone seen the jetpowered shopping cart? now thats crazy

it just looks stupid but atleast nobody would tailgate u

That's pretty ****ing awesome.

wow.... who could imagine fitting two turbine engines into that car....wow

Thats not something you see everyday...that thing must fly if it actually works.

If you drive that thing you earn the right to be called Mavrick. I wonder if it comes with its own flight suit and Top Gun Soundtrack

I think you just get your own theme song. :D

Topgun.. Dumb movie.

Tsk Tsk. Sure it has tom cruise in it, but that dosn't mean it sucks. What would Goose do if he heard you say that...

Kill himself?...wait hes already dead.I think its a decent movie for the plane battles but they could have gotten rid of the love story part of it.

True True. But i guess you'd have a hard time convincing your girlfriend to watch it, if there wasn't a steamy love plot... Sure its not the best movie, but its a classic none the less.
