    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...

    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.

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.

      @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.

Gotta love this guy, there's nobody quite as mad (in a good way) or quite as cool as Mr Leno. In fact, he's just knocked Steve McQueen into 2nd place. Look out for the episode where he chases a Hellcat through the streets of San Francisco on a Tripple Supercharged Veyron engined Harley-Davidson with 6 Turbos.....

    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.
