The World's Lowest Car

The Flatmobile is powered by a jet engine (based on a gas turbine jet engine and a Holset 685 turbocharger from a Volvo FL10 truck) which, thanks to having its own custom afterburner, is capable of delivering 90lbs of thrust powering it to speeds in excess of 100mph. For regular driving, it also has a 875cc combustion engine. Designed and built by Perry Watkins using shells from two vintage Hillman Imps.
