It is not a Jet Engine, is a TURBINE Engine… there are vastly different…

A Jet Engine is a reaction engine that discharges a fast moving jet to generate thrust by jet propulsion.

A gas (combustion) Turbine Engine, is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a flow of combustion gas

Although the rotational speed is very high, the size and mass of the rotating part (a single shaft with both compressor and turbine and generator) is much less than any IC engine, so I don't think handling or accident damage would be a major concern.

After all, high performance fighter jets manage much tighter maneuvers with much larger jet engines.

The design of this car is so great and one of the favorite features of this car is it's Jet Engine. This car definitely deserved to be called a super car.

I am a bit surprised, why jet engines used in hybrid cars? initial concept of a hybrid car is made is to protect the environment from pollution. what about the car above?

YES! Now this is what a hybrid car should look like. No more fugly prius, bring on the Capstone CMT-380, just lower the price, increase production, become trendy and popular and everywhere, there is a global recession after all.

I think this car is HOT !! It look much cute and attractive.I love this black color and all the features of the car are very good.
Actually I like the idea of using the Jet Engine in it,I always thought there should be some system like that on cars!

I love this car. I actually have a jet engine on my toothbrush. My parents said I'd burn my eye out….and I did.
