well, I like this version a LOT better than the beetle. At least the hear the driver won't go deaf with the intake right behind his head, and I find the "exhaust" from the turbine to be a lot better integrated into the overall look of the car. A little more of a "sleeper" if any car with a turbine can be called that

Eclipse?? The front looks like a VW Jetta. Did he do an exterior conversion too or something?

Im sure its an eclipse. I think he took a pic of the jetta because of the license plate only. Thats not the car with the turbine engine.
