The 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car was a radical experiment in jet-age innovation, powered by a Chrysler A-831 gas turbine engine capable of running on everything from diesel to tequila. With only 55 built and just nine surviving today, it remains a symbol of futuristic ambition and one of the boldest detours in American automotive history. #bigblockgarage #chrysler #chryslerturbine #automotive #jetengine | Supercar_Attila

If you’ve heard about the Chrysler Turbine car, you might hear people say things like “It shoots flames out the back”, or “Don’t stand behind it!” While it’s true that turbine engines produce an incredible amount of heat, Chrysler was actually able to develop an ingenious device called a “Regenerator” that took heat from the exhaust and warmed the intake air, resulting in dramatically better efficiency AND exhaust temperatures cooler than a regular piston-engined car!
