    I love the way that Jay casually says "'we had Cadillac do the styling", "we worked with Alcoa on the wheels", "Microsoft did a great job on the dash". The man is a rock star.

      @Peter Evans all of these companies are fine, I use Alcoa durabrite on all my trucks and my father's company contracted with Microsoft, and Cadillac made a very similar vehicle, I think they just got the chassis.

      @Peter Evans The dash interface looks like a modern jetliner glass cockpit, which fits the theme of a jet car. Search for "boeing pfd" or "airbus pfd" and you'll see it's supposed to look like an 80's flight sim. I think they did a good job. See 13:32 for a goofy aviation-themed checklist. Air stairs, weight and CG (center of gravity), secure baggage...

      Definitely not. A carbureted car goes up elevation to high or low trying to travel with a carbureted car and it starts doing all kinds of weird shit when you go up and down elevation. No thanks. If it was more reliable we would still be using it.

    when I was a schoolboy back in 1960 or thereabouts we went on a school trip to Boxhill not far from London. As we got off the school coach in the carpark there was a Chrysler Turbine on display. We all crowded around and they asked me to put my drink on the engine whilst it was running to demonstrate that it made no ripples because it ran so smoothly. I can remember it as though it was yesterday. Fantastic.

      I gave up a chance to ride in one. Mind, I was seven or eight at the time, when the Chrysler dealer from our former congregation drove up in total silence, and offered my Dad a ride -- apparently they were lent to dealers on a lottery system for the weekends, then back to the factory to see how they were wearing. Dad took a ride in it, but I begged off (hey, seven and a guy I barely knew by sight, not going to happen). Unfortunately, Dad now has Alzheimer's and does not remember the incident at all, let alone how the drive was.

    "Proof that Jay Leno is one of the most legit car collectors on the planet is his collaboration with GM to create the EcoJet. The car was, in part, inspired by another vehicle on this list, the 1963 Chrysler Turbine. Like its predecessor, the EcoJet uses bio-diesel as opposed to fuel like a standard engine. Leno and one of his garage techs worked together to draw concepts, and then GM came into the picture to help actually produce one of the vehicles. It looks awesome, and this car is literally priceless - Leno didn’t have to buy it, and no one else owns one."

    • @johnrickard8512
      @johnrickard8512 Před 6 lety +1

      Jet engines are really weird like that. Why do you think that once planes started using them suddenly they started flying higher and faster? Sure they use more fuel at low thrust but you get more thrust as you go faster per amount of fuel, so if you go high and fast it becomes more fuel efficient to use jets. ;)

      @anewhope tosee not a fan of Tesla personally, but that wouldn't even be close. Just not how turbines work. They have to wind up. A battery run electric motor will basically have full torque immediately. The turbine 'could' have a higher top end if made for it, but this concept car wasn't even adequately designed for that speed. Apparently Jay tried it and lost a window due to air pressure @ 130mph, topped the car out @ around 165. Its a one-off custom - not a tested supercar.

    I loved Jaguar's idea for a turbine hybrid car. You sacrifice weight but you get the best of both worlds. You get the immediate torque from the electric drive but a lightweight, powerful micro turbine to give you the range of a regular hybrid. Sadly, the turbine didn't make it past the prototype phase, the production cars used a regular old 4 banger.
