Car crazy: Jay Leno has over 100 vehicles in his impressive fleet of classic and modern cars and his ethos is he drives them all
One of a kind: Jay Leno's eco jet was created in retaliation to those who claimed his vast collection of cars was causing global warming
The Eco Jet is a two seater car and was born after Leno wanted to hit back at those who believed his fleet of cars is responsible for global warming. The 63 year-old who hosted The Tonight Show on NBC for 17 years before being replaced by Jimmy Fallon teamed up with General Motors to create an environmentally friendly car that could go fast.
And it certainly does! The car is a biodiesel-powered monster with a jet turbine engine - normally only used in helicopters.
Leno has even raced the car against a plane to show off the speeds in can reach. Leno’s collection is so big that his garage accommodates specialist equipment including a water-jet cutter, sheet metal machines and a welding apparatus.
The star's impressive collection includes McLarens, Duesenbergs and steam engines and is made up of over 100 vehicles.

JAY LENO'S 2006 ECO JET
- The car contains two separate gas tanks; one contains the main fuel, a biodiesel soy bean oil, and the other contains a traditional clean burning jet engine fuel.
- The JP-4 jet engine fuel is used to start the turbine easily at the beginning of a trip and also to run the engine at the end of a trip to clean it since a biodiesel fuel tends to gum up a turbine (causing it to seize) if the biofuel is not cleared.
- The exhaust air is 1000 degrees Fahrenheit in normal operation and 1800 Fahrenheit at full power.
- The car runs on refined cooking oil and so it gives off the same kind of smell created by cooking French fries.
- The car has a fully featured Azentek PC running Microsoft Windows Vista, with two LCD screens on the dashboard, one for the aircraft style digital gauges and another for the media and navigation.
- Two other smaller LCD screens are placed on the dashboard to provide rear views, as the car has no rear view mirrors and uses cameras instead.
- The functions are controlled by Touchscreen or by Speech recognition software using a multiple microphone array.
- The car was assembled by the Big Dog crew (mechanics employed by Jay Leno, usually to help him maintain his large collection of cars).
- There’s no info on pricing but given its aesthetics, it has to be worth thousands.
