The Tank Car and the twin turbo Toronado are included in the Unforgettable cars associated with the Leno name. Now, the EcoJet is added to that list. A Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine producing 650 horsepower and 400 ft-lbs powers the EcoJet. of torque on bio-diesel designed and produced in collaboration with Leno, his Big Dog team of mechanics and GM's Design Studio in North Hollywood. This supercar features a modified Corvette Z06 hydroformed aluminum frame with additional aluminum and magnesium chassis components. In addition, it has 100% pure carbon fiber over Kevlar skin. The combination of Cadillac's current design language and cues taken from F1 racers and aeronautical craft created the magnificent shape of the EcoJet. Ecojet is a Turbine-Powered Concept began with meeting, , GM Advanced Design Studio Collaborated on 650-Horsepower Supercar That Runs on Bio-Diesel Sketches on a Napkin Jay Leno.
LAS VEGAS - Jay Leno hosted the “Tonight Show” for starters wherein the EcoJet would keep a group of automotive designers up all night but not by his monologue or parade of Hollywood guests. The General Motors Advanced Design Studio was invited by the late-night show host to help design a mid-engine, turbine-powered supercar called EcoJet. The GM vice president of Global Design Leno and Ed Welburn introduced the car on that time at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show.
A discussion between Leno, an avid car enthusiast and collector, and Bernard Juchli, the chief mechanic and caretaker of Leno's collection brought back the genesis of the EcoJet. For design direction, Leno then turned to Welburn. He said that a couple of paper napkins later, Ed had begun to capture the essence of the car. Welburn agreed that he had admired the work of GM's Design Studio in North Hollywood, Calif., and asked Ed if the studio's director, Frank Saucedo, and his guys could continue the design study, and a two-week sketching frenzy commenced as GM's designers began working after-hours with the team of Leno on the project.
Welburn said that the esthetics of the EcoJet was driven by aeronautical and jet-age influences and it is a purpose-driven design that conveys power, capability and even danger, with a hint of Cadillac's sophisticated design vocabulary. The supercar began to take shape under the watchful eyes of Leno and Welburn borrowing design cues from jet aircraft and Formula One racecars. The vehicle's proportions and mechanics are defined by a concurrent engineering program. To turn the EcoJet vision into a reality, Leno relied on Juchli and the entire Big Dog team at his garage.
Juchli, who constructed the car at Leno's facility, said that they thought they pushed the creative envelope with the '66 twin turbo Toronado project with GM, but this turbine-powered monster is a whole new level of complexity. A Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine that runs on bio-diesel fuel powers the 650-horsepower (400 lb.-ft. of torque) Leno original. A modified Corvette Z06 hydroformed aluminum frame with aluminum and magnesium structural and chassis components serves as a secure cabin for the engine. The skin of the vehicle is an advanced construction of carbon fiber over Kevlar. The sam as the Lamborghini Reventon, the EcoJet is also made to perform a record-breaking performance that is derived from a fighter jet as well as display a unique characteristic of a car and modern technology dynamics. This simply tells us that the jet cars are starting to bloom in the world of automobiles and this is simply the product of advanced modern technology and advanced thinking and creative designing of the manufacturers. Supercars like the EcoJet are now slowly cruising on the road to show amazing performances ever made!
