Jay Leno cracks corn jokes but his jet-powered sports car runs on biodiesel

Jay Leno says he originally wanted a hydrogen fuel cell for his one-of-a-kind mid-engine supercar, but such a project wouldn't have been ready for the SEMA Show. So the topic of engine power turned to alternative fuels.

"I wanted to do something with bio fuels to show that we're a little bit responsible," Leno told AutoblogGreen last night during a special unveiling of the car at the Wynn's Casino. "I wanted something fast, something exciting and still environmentally friendly. The jet was the most compatible with biodiesel."

There's more after the jump.
