Most laws around street legality center around certification of the chassis, safety equipment, and emissions. Don't run the jet engine during a smog test, and prove that all the necessary safety equipment function (signals, airbags, seatbelts, etc), and you're going to pass. This is why most kit cars depend on a "donor" chassis that gets stripped down and have the new car built on top of.

You wouldn't happen to work for a large German automotive company with the letters V and W in the name, would you?

Actually, the jet-powered car in question does just so happen to have those two letters adorning its crest.
