A joint product of GM’s North Hollywood Design studio and Jay’s own Big Dog cadre of wrenches, the Cadillac-esque EcoJet is powered by a bio-diesel quaffing Honeywell LT-101 turbine, which provides 650 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Based on a Corvette Z06 platform, the car’s angular panels are in fact Kevlar draped in carbon fiber. Turbine-themed Alcoa wheels are 22-inches in the rear and 20-inches up front. While not a pure beauty, the thrust of the EcoJet concept is an interesting one, especially in that it finds Leno embracing alternative fuel in his quest for automotive nirvana. For some reason, perhaps simply because of its long, lean profile and its far-reaching design, it also managed to remind us of some of the French concepts that we saw recently at the Paris Motor Show.
