Jay Leno Inspired Eco Jet

Jay Leno Eco JetJosh Spear reports on the Jay Leno inspired Eco Jet, a bio-diesel vehicle from GM running with a Honeywell LTS-101 jet engine.
Jay said, "We live in an era where liking cars and liking the environment don’t really seem to fit- especially high performance cars." He not only wanted to disprove that, but wanted to inspire America's youth to explore the possibilities and follow their dreams- this car for Leno started as a pipe dream, "and went from zero to here in seven months." Although the Eco Jet was not designed to be a production car - and we may never see it for sale - after a few good conversations with folks at GM, we're confident they understand innovations like these are crucial.

With all that said, we don't want you to think we are gloating for GM-they have a long way to go. Seeing this unveiling and speaking to the GM executives and designers makes us wish that this transition towards eco-friendly performance vehicles could happen on a mass-market level sooner than late (before the ice caps melt).
