Pretty awesome project, just a shame it isn't an old Beetle.

This is my favourite bit - "the car has two engines making the car a hybrid so maybe we can drive in the commuter lanes along with the Toyota Priuses"

Its a waste of a jet engine if u ask me. Would be better put to propper use, propelling something along quickly rather than just creating a show.

Draws air in through the windows and sunroof. Hmm.
As well as eardrums and flying debris.

Good effort tho.

That's more like it Now I want you to find me one that doesn't have a Meccano spoiler bolted on Surely you get enough downforce by strapping a massive jet engine to the back?!
