Jay Leno's Garage

A sculptor by trade, Frogman Tim Cotterill brought his trike design to Blastolene, the same folks who built Jay's Tank Car. Now the powerful and eccentric Rocket II Trike is on the road, powered by a blown Hemi V8, which generates over 1000 hp.

Inpired by Jim Hall's legendary Chaparral 2J, Team Cheaparral convert a wrecked corvette into a 300 HP Twin Turbo monster capable of generating 1000 lbs of active down force. And All for under $2000!

The Ecojet weighs around 2500 pounds, but its Honeywell LT101 turbine engine is capable of hauling a 20,000 pound helicopter. Talk about your power to weight ratio!

The Chrysler Turbine combined futuristic styling with a space-age engine: a high-revving turbine that could run on almost any kind of fuel.

Part Chevrolet, part Beemer, the Cheemer was voted Most Beautiful Car in Sweden, and Best Engineered Car.

It took Lars-Erik Lindberg five years to mate this Impala (sold new in Sweden in 1961) with the innards of a BMW 750, including electrical, interior and V12 engine.

Like all great feats of the imagination, the EcoJet began life on a napkin. As an auto enthusiast, Jay Leno had always wanted to design his own car, and when he conceived the notion for a high-performance, yet environmentally friendly, vehicle the pen and napkin came out, and eight months later the results were premiered at the 2006 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas.
