Ron Patrick’s street legal Jet-car


Jon Patrick is the man who became ‘Blogfamous’ for building a street-legal, jet-engine powered Wolkswagen Beetle. He has used a General Electric model T58-8F that is in actual a helicopter turboshaft engine converted into a jet engine. Other than the jet-engine, you also have a gasoline engine. The gasoline one is meant for driving legally and the jet one for fun and speed. The jet engine spins up to whopping 26,000 RPM, draws air at 11,000 CFM and is rated at 1350 hp.
