Weird but interesting.

I believe it said the intake was on the bottom of the car.

The jet engine bay looks so damn clean, but those things tend to heat up! The car would frickin melt from burning so much fuel, so fast, plus the turbine is enclosed into the damn car...

I think it's a hoax... Especially when he only gets to 110mph on a JET TURBINE that produces in the thousands of hp...

Trust me its real. This the the same guy that made the twin jet engine mr2 as well as the datsun. He is an aerospace engineer from what I remember. He builds these as a hobby.
