"Jay Leno ordered a VERY special car. Its unique in design and power. Its being powered by a turbine, which uses bio-diesel. Its designed and produced by GM Advanced Design Studios. This is a true supercar, which produces 650hp on the top. The engine is based on Corvette's ZO6."

Not sure how a turbine engine can be based on a recip ZO6 Engine??

It's already built, and was displayed at SEMA. It's called the "EcoJet", give it a Google.

Jay Leno and General Motors have unveiled a biodiesel-powered, 650 hp monster supercar named the EcoJet. The car was originally sketched by Leno and Ed on the back of a napkin, shares design cues with everything from jet aircraft and Formular One racecars. The EcoJet is powered by a Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine that runs on biodiesel, in a modified Corvette Z06 hydroformed aluminum frame with aluminum and magnesium structural and chassis components. "I drive it, wait for the harvest, get some corn and drive it some more," quipped Leno, who also said he is also converting his shop to solar power in an effort to be more environmentally conscious. :: See Jalopnik for more info and photos.

Seems it's based on the Z06 *frame*, not the Z06 engine.

huge waste of money. Use of technology that is not applicable to the street. GM strikes out again.
