World's Lowest Car

The world's lowest street legal car is 19 inches high and powered by a jet engine.  

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.    Technical Specifications: * Donor car 1963 Hillman Imp * 30" height sectioned out from body * Ground clearance 2' * Height: 19" * Length: 12'2" (17" longer than standard) * Width: 5' 5" * Combustion Engine: Hillman Imp 875 Sport * Jet engine: DIY gas turbine * Suspension front: Avro shocks with adjustable height 4" springs * Wheels: Cosmic alloys 10×6J * Tires: Goodyear Eagles 205 x 50 x 10
