LoL you know your car is awesome when they want to declare it a threat to national security..

[:Exige:]

Technically it's a sleeper because at the traffic lights the person wouldn't see the huge jet turbine :D

I think the sound of it just may give you away :D

[Quiggs]

Just tell 'em it's a supercharger?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

That is absolutely legendary.

Just wow!

I was smiling the entire time I read that. Particularly at the car being a threat to national security.

Now, I understand the irony of doing it to a Beetle... let's see if he'll kit out a big German estate with one of those :D

Passat 1.8T 20v jet, anybody?

[CdocZ]

I think the sound of it just may give you away :D

Turning the jet on is optional, otherwise it runs on the stock gasoline engine :D

[acfsambo]

It is road legal.

[Jack_Bauer]

It is road legal.
I'd guess not, on account of it incinerating other road users and pedestrians!! :D

Awesome find CdocZ! :)

[NSXType-R]

That's freakin awesome! Too bad there's massive amounts of turbo lag. :D

[DesmoRob]

Wow:D!! I can't stop smiling!

Everybody knows a chipped 1.8T would be faster than any rocket powered car.

[Rockefella]

There is only one car faster than a chipped 1.8t.

<autoX bonne>What does that have to do with this post? :confused:

I do believe he's trying his hand at irony, and to stop you from using that picture... fat chance.

But alas, he sucks at life.

He'll drown his problems in Guiness and also cherry brandy, a popular drink amongst Polskiis.

[Rockefella]

<emo> Thanks. </emo>

[Vindesh17]

wow thats just amazing. I want it.

[johnnynumfiv]

My mom is getting a new beetle in a few weeks and she still wants to keep the old one, it'd be a pretty interesting build to put one in and still get 50mpg with the diesel. :D

[Souljah]

is there any info/specs on the car....

[PerfAdv]

Great idea. You just can't take your hand off drinks in the cupholders, they keep getting sucked into the jet stream. :(

I prefer the Jet scooter.

[johnnynumfiv]

I prefer the Jet scooter.

That would be awesome to blast around campus on.

[PerfAdv]

Pull up to a Ninja and with a wry smile say, "nice bike"; then smoke him, literally. :D

[Commander]

My classmates and I think that car is freaking awsome!

BBQ anyone?

Stick your arms out the window and fly.

[clutch-monkey]

jet cars ftw!

Did anyone else heard about this twingo?

This is the only pic of it I managed to find.

Aw, Naw, HE DID'NT!

That Beetle is great. But the driver would have to pay very careful attention to what's behind him.

Jay Leno said that his wacky-racer-esque Y2K superbike (also powered by a jet turbine) could melt the plastic fascias of cars behind him. There's no telling what this thing could do, but it'd probably be a little like the last song on The Final Cut.

I was about to mention that... I used to have a pic where you see all the flames coming out af the back... I might have an idea of where it is... give me a few mins and I'll get back to that ;)

EDIT - can't find it... sorry

i wonder what it can do in traffic

[NSXType-R]

Who cares? He'll melt the hood off of your car.

[magracer]

I'll tell you this much, it would be hell in traffic. Specially for those behind the turbine! :D

Road legal, it's not! If some crashes into it from the back, there would be serios consecuences for both cars.

[CdocZ]

It is road legal....he just can't use the jet engine for normal travel. He can choose when he turns it on, but otherwise he can run off the normal gasoline engine, hence why it IS road legal.
