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 | Big Block Garage

In 1963, Chrysler built something that sounded impossible… A car powered by a jet engine. Instead of pistons and cylinders, the Chrysler Turbine Car used a gas turbine spinning at over 40,000 RPM to generate power. And the craziest part? It could run on almost anything. Jet fuel. Diesel. Kerosene. During demonstrations, engineers even ran the engine on tequila and perfume just to prove it. Chrysler built 50 of these futuristic cars and gave them to normal American families to test drive. People

In 1963, Chrysler unveiled one of the most innovative cars ever built—the Turbine Car. Powered by the A-831 gas turbine engine, it was capable of running on almost any flammable liquid, including diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, and even tequila. The engine spun at up to 60,000 RPM and had only 60 moving parts, compared to over 300 in traditional piston engines. It required no radiator, antifreeze, or crankshaft, making it simpler and more durable than conventional engines. Mexican President Adolfo L

The Chrysler Turbine Car is an experimental two-door hardtop coupe powered by a turbine engine and manufactured by Chrysler from 1963–1964. The bodywork was constructed by Italian design studio Carrozzeria Ghia and Chrysler completed the final assembly in Detroit. A total of 55 cars were manufactured: five prototypes and a limited run of 50 cars for a public user program. All have a signature metallic paint named "turbine bronze", roughly the color of root beer. The car was styled by Elwood Enge

The Chrysler Turbine Car never caught on, but one thing is for sure: teenagers would have loved it. The Chrysler Turbine Car was part of a decades long effort by the Chrysler Corporation to develop a mass market gas turbine powered automobile. Building on work that began in the early 1950s, Chrysler launched a nationwide user experiment program with 50 hand-built Ghia bodied turbine cars in 1963. The cars were powered by a 130 hp regenerative gas turbine engine that ran on anything from kerosene
