Product Description:
The Chrysler Turbine sported an engine that could run on nearly any combustible liquid (including tequila!), but the test cars were never mass produced. Though it was a commercial failure, the innovative engineers behind the turbine-powered engine inadvertently paved the way for the Holy Grail of 21st century automobiles: the environmentally friendly vehicle. This History Channel special looks back at the first Turbine tests, and features amazing stories from the engineers who built the prototypes.
Description by New Video Group:
The Chrysler Turbine has long been regarded as a bold but misguided chapter in automotive history. Today, however, it may play a major role in the quest to create environmentally friendly cars for the 21st century.
THE CHRYSTLER TURBINE narrates this car's fascinating history, tracing the two-decade struggle to do away with the piston engine and create a practical turbine-powered vehicle through rare testing footage and the incredible stories of engineers who worked on the project. In one experiment, the turbine's ability to run on any combustible liquid was tested by filling one car's tank with tequila and another with perfume... and both drivers sped away!
A must-see for car lovers, THE CHRYSTLER TURBINE offers an inside look at once discarded concepts that might yet launch a new era of automobiles.
