Jay Leno : EcoJet

We all know Jay Leno is a car freak. His garage, the size of a warehouse full of rare cars. Recently, his collaboration between General Motors has produced a beautiful outcome. 

Here's a little imagination of mine of the conversation between Jay Leno and General Motors.

Jay Leno : GM, since I got so many rare cars in my garage, I was thinking of having an another innovative car. Any ideas?
General Motors : Hmm, sounds like an opportunity for me to build another one and "spoil" the market with this little creative idea of mine. How about a car that run on biodiesel fuel?
JL : Hmm, sounds great to me. And what kind of engine do you suggest?
GM : How about gas turbine? Because most of the engines nowadays are piston engines. I think it's kinda rare to see a car runs on that.
JL : Any prospective brand?
GM : How about Honeywell LT 101 gas turbine?
JL : Hmm.. ok. I want my car to be built NOT only for show purposes, but meant to be driven on the road too. Can you do that for me?
GM : Sure, why not.


Run on biodiesel fuel by using a Honeywell LT 101 gas turbine instead of a piston engine.


Honeywell LT 101 gas turbine engine. Produces 650 hp. At full throttle.


Introducing :



GM EcoJet Concept



2-seater car
2 separate gas tanks - i) Contains main fuel - biodiesel soya bean oil
                                 ii) Contains traditional clean burning jet engine fuel - JP-4 - to start the turbine and run 
                                     the engine at the end of the trip to clean it

Biodiesel fuel tends to gum up a turbine. That's why JP-4 jet engine fuel exist there, to clean it. 


The exhaust air : 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (normal operation)
                         1800 Fahrenheit (full power)

When you cook French fries, the smell of the cooking is basically the same as the smell produced by this fuel. 

Based on Corvette Z06.
Inspirations from F1 cars and modern aircraft.
Constructed from Kevlar and carbon fibre.

Features :

- Azentek PC running Microsoft Windows Vista
- two LCD screens on the dashboard
     i) one for the gauge cluster and 
    ii) another for the media and navigation controls
- standard PC functions such as word processing and Web access through a Wimax system.
- the car has NO rear view mirrors, using 2 smaller LCD screens on the dashboard to provide rear views instead, operated by cameras.
- Touchscreen / Speech recognition software using a multiple microphone array.


Since the main theme of this car is all about turbine, GM assigned Alcoa company to create a custom-made 22 " rim turbine style for the rear and 20 " for the front.


The car was assembled by the Big Dog crew for Jay Leno.

Go Green : RINSPEED UC

Nowadays, more and more automakers are heading towards Green. Yes, i mean environmental friendly. Which means to say, Electrically Powered Vehicles. Some using hydrogen fuel cells, some use rechargeable battery packs. What really impress me about this car, RINSPEED UC is, it is cute, small, compact, and best of all environmental friendly.



This EV concept will be debuted at Geneva Motor Show on March 2010. Why the name UC? Actually UC stands for "Urban Commuter" or in another word "You See?".

Features :

Joystick-operated
2.5 meter long
124 Nm torque
capable to reach 120 km
top speed of 110 km/h

How it works?
It seems that according to Rinspeed, car users / patrons / commuters drive UC to the train station, and then get into the train, together with the UC, then drive off the train 280 km in Zurich, or elsewhere. That's sounds pretty impressive !!

Sources said the company, Rinspeed, might outsource the car to large scale manufacturers, and sold to the open market. Well, can't wait to see this in production.

Here's a cleaner and white background to let you guys to have a total overview of UC, which some of you might go, "oh la la". Some might not.

 Introducing :

Conquest Knight XV








Knight XV contains an E-85 Ethanol conversion system.

What amuse me, it requires 1,500 hours JUST to built ONE. Which is equivalent to 62.5 days. Just to built ONE?

So, in order to build 100 Knight XVs, 150,000 hours needed, which is equivalent to 6250 days = 17 years.

Here's the math:

1 Knight XV = 1,500 hours = 62.5 days = 2 months plus

100 Knight XV = 150,000 hours = 6250 days = 17 years.

p/s: i'm sure most of u want to see the interior on this beast. Trust me, nothing more appealing than the exterior. So, don't bother to ask for interior images. Desperately to see it. Go around the corner and G it.

Blend a little bit of ....

... Enthusiasm, creativity and passion (and a little bit of Michael Jackson's Thriller dance) will lead you to this :



I wanna explode now !!! ^_^
