Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Chrysler Turbine has long been regarded as a bold but misguided chapter in automotive history. Today, the lessons learned on this project are playing a major role in the quest to create an environmentally ""clean"" car for the 21st century.Ironically, it was emissions problems that ultimately did in Chrylser's original turbine car. While test drivers felt the car had potential, engineers could not make the engine run cleanly enough. Trace the two-decade struggle to do away with the piston engine from the first proposal to the 50 sleek, Ghia-bodied test cars. See rare footage of their development and testing, and hear incredible stories from the engineers who worked on the project. In one case, the turbine's ability to run on any combustible liquid was tested by filling the tank of one car with Tequila and another with perfume. Both drivers got in and drove away! It's a remarkable look at a revolutionary vehicle that may yet write a new chapter in automotive history."

5.0 out of 5 stars Chrysler Turbine, July 10, 2001
By "kldwp1" (Frisco, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
One, if not THE most amazing car every to grace the American road. I’ve loved this car since the first time I saw it in library book in the 7th grade. The Turbine car was and still is rolling art, no two alike, gleaming beauties. I have several models and promos of the car, and several magazine stories. I’ve always known most of the cars were destroyed, but didn’t know how (nor wanted to). I’ve always dreamt the cars weren’t really destroyed, but were tucked away safe in a warehouse on the back lot of the Chrysler proving grounds. Unfortunately, this movie confirms the cars destruction. [Darn] you Chrysler, what the [Heck] were you thinking…?!!
