Jet Powered Minivan (videos)

“Are we there yet?” will soon be a forgotten kid nagging phrase thanks to the Jet Turbine Powered van. It’s a turbine which should mean the jet’s power is converted to the tires unlike a normal jet engine, which is thrust driven. There’s a multitude of videos, but be sure to check out the motorized rear glass window that lifts up to expose the protruding exhaust ports. It looks like the development has gone through multiple iterations as the engine port style has changed, and the soccer ball sticker moved from the left to the right side of the back door. According to Hackedgadgets it can do 1/8th of mile in 7.65 seconds at 96mph.
