Here’s a 300MPH Jet car that weighs 2,200 lbs, is 30 feet long and drinks 7-10 gallons of fuel per mile. The jet-car accelerates from 0 to 272 mph in six seconds and is powered by a Rolls Royce Orpheus jet engine theoretically capable of 370mph. The car holds the “Outright British Land Speed Record” and doesn’t like to be told what to do. Top Gear’s Richard Hammond is in the hospital after the car ate shit at about 270MPH. Bad jet-car, bad!
