Totally impractical, but totally cool. (Who doesn’t secretly want to walk up to your own car, turn the key, and a freaking jet turbine whines to life! That is impossible to top cool.)

You’d think they could get more than 130hp out of a jet engine. Of course you would probably have to refill the tank every 10 miles.

A family friend and neighbor was one of the test drivers for the Chrysler Turbine car. It was before I learned to drive.

Mama mia, thatsa ugly.
One of the problems with turbine engines was the terrific amount of heat they generated. While stopped at a red light, the exhaust from your turbine car would be welding the front bumper of the car behind you. To address this, they routed the exhaust past a rotating drum. Half of the drum was in the exhaust and the other half was in the incoming air, preheating it. Lotsa problems.

Super cool! People would buy them, though they could never pass NHTSA regs.

If you tailgate this car, it’ll melt the front end of yours.

Nice video ... the turbine is remarkably quiet. It’s much quieter that aircraft turbines tend to be.
