You may be cool, but you'll never be Kirk with his Jupiter 8 cool
The Jupiter 8 was named after Jupiter, one of 892-IV's Roman gods. Described as "Royal Comfort" and "unexcelled in its field," it had a conventional internal combustion engine with 456 horsepower, a super-flow automatic transmission, a super-glide suspension system, and super-grip white sidewall tires.

Kinda reminds me of the car Homer designed.

It had a 180 hp Corvair engine, mounted in the front, driving the front wheels.
The suspension is just Citroen air hydraulic suspension (which is special, but standard on Citroen DS and a few later cars, and Rolls Royce too back then.
The tires aren’t whitewalls either, and probably never were.
It's not AI. The car pictured was used in the TOS episode: Bread & Circuses

No I meant the description. It’s bullshit, but it might have been promotional bullshit by a marketing man.
The Wikipedia page explains what the car is really made from.
