FIRST TURBINE-POWERED PASSENGER CAR to be made available for use by typical motorists under normal everyday driving conditions is the Chrysler Corporation Turbine Car. Fifty limited production turbine cars powered by the company's new twin-regenerator turbine engine will be placed with selected users beginning this fall under a no-charge use agreement. Approximately 200 motorists will participate in the unprecedented consumer evaluation program with each motorist using the car for periods up to three months. The Chrysler Corporation Turbine Car is 201.6 inches long on a 110 inch wheelbase. The latest Chrysler turbine engine delivers 130 horsepower, equivalent in over-all car performance to a V-8 piston engine of more than 200 horsepower.


Creation Year: 1964
