holy crap! i'd be afraid i'd get sucked into the thing! and where could you possibly store the fuel needed for that thing to run more than three seconds?

Classic case of having more money than brains.

Yeah, I was also wondering where the hell the intake is for the jet.

This is one of the most terrifying cars ever conceived: a) it's a new beetle. b) that's rear engined again. and c) it's a new beetle

The engineering is definitely laudable, but the platform? Eh... Put that in a Viper and run the intake where the passenger seat would be...

thats retarted.

do you have any idea how loud that intake is. our 12lb thrust engine at school has an intake sound level around 130db. also the suction around that mesh would be ........interesting.

as for fuel, the TSFC probably isnt that high since its so small, it'd probably use a couple hundred lbs for maybe 10 mins of max thrust

also depends on the fuel being used.. When i was in the navy, fuel usage depended on what fuel was being used.. i.e. F76 vs JP5

for the same amount of time we were at full throttle, you'd use more JP5 than F76 in the same amount of time..

Still a chicks car.

Kinda reminds me of that one inevitable bottle rocket that would fly 2 ft make a 180 and go haywire chasing all the kids in the neighborhood then finally explode 2 inches from your dome if it hit full afterburner.
