600 HP green car:by Leno

Posted on October 31, 2007

Everybody who knows Jay Leno is familiar with his unmatched love for cars and bikes. And since money is no problem for him he can afford many crazy stuff when it comes to this area. This year Leno and Pratt&Miller, the company which builds the C6R Corvette put together a Z06 derived model called the the C6RS.

The car has an aluminum V8 engine wich puts aut no less than 600 HP and 790 Nm aut of 8,2 litre. Gm calles this a “small block” even though just one cylinder has over a litre. But its most interesting aspect is that it runs on E85 eco-fuel because Leno wanted to show that even supercars can drink alternative fuel.

Only one question remains: what’s the MPG?

    too bad it probably gets about 5 miles to the gallon. E85 fuel has less energy in it, therefore, means it takes more fuel to make the power. E85 sucks.

    even if it ran on normal fuel do you think it would have done better?

    Leno has the money to hire people with some sense of style.
