 | Jet Powered VW Beetle This is amazing... Take a look...        What can you do with a GE Model T58-8F helicopter turboshaft engine, converted to jet? With Ron Patrick’s custom VW Beetle you can have lots and lots of dangerous fun exploiting all 1350 horsepower. This monster is powered by two engines (original up front, jet in back) and is perfectly street legal since you’re only using the gasoline powered engine in normal driving conditions. But if you’re feeling adventurous, fire up the jet engine - which spins up to 26,000 rpm/13,000 rpm idle - and watch the afterburner come to life. The owner says: Quote:

| Re: Jet Powered VW Beetle just one question. that engine probably needs air to work, right? then how is air gonna get in the car to ''pass'' through the engine? other than that, just ugly and scary... I guess the turbine coming off from the back, makes it a bit difficult to park the car in in-the-city conditions... |
