Now here's an engine swap.....
Kind of puts the "V8 argument" to rest.

Might as well put a pair of wings and a rudder on that thing. There's no question it's gonna fly, so it'd be best to be able to control it a little?
That's gotta be the fastest MR2 on earth. I think i'm going out on a pretty sturdy limb when I say that!

It's got to be a photoshop - you all realize that the intakes cannot possibly function as shown, right(?)

Why? Because one jet engine wasn't enough, that's why.

Now in 993 land ...

Looks like a clean install. I doubt it is fake, unlike that darwin award story ... http://www.snopes.com/autos/dream/jato.asp I'll be watching the auction closely! I am sure this would drop right into the SC!

It looks like the red shrouds on the front of the enines are perforated. That would likely let enough air in to burn. I dont think it would require ram air. Did you happen to notice that as options it includes leather seats and an airbag. If the air bag saves you in a crash at least it wont take too much effort to get the s**t stains out of the seat. Losing one of those engines with the other at full thrust would be a wild ride.

pulling air from undeneath will not provide enough air
nor would pulling air thru the windows, etc.

"Probably road legal except for a noise issue."
Yeah, and the fact that you'd char anyone behind you. Good thing its got an automatic transmission tho.

This is the same person who did the MR2 with the three turbocharger-based jet engines on the back.
Look at those thrust levers! That's great!
