Hello ho229---- Was this car destroyed after testing was complete? Do you know if it still exists somewhere?

Thanks

[ho229]

Hi,docbooks.

I asked toyota information center and toyota museum about your question. They couldn't answer our question. I don't know whether it still exists or not,sorry.

[samoht1977]

so is it a gas turbine that propels an alternator wich makes electricity? is it an electric car?

[ho229]

This is not an electric car.

It has two turbine axes.(compressor and power turbines)

And they didn't put that car on Gran Turismo 1,2,3,4 X_X

I hope they will put on Gran Turismo 5 to be able to feel what it's like to drive a car with a gas turbine engine ^^

Why do i think of the knightrider theme when i see this car O_o

@waco5257 Ask them to add it to the game. Should do the trick :)

Gun-engine invented by a Polish Canadian Kazimierz Stan Holubowicz is more efficient.

@yuandrew i think that is one of the first diesel engine,isn't it?

[yuandrew]

@subzero92MK

Diesel was used primarily but any flammable liquid the fuel pump could handle would work.

@rock3tcat ahh i didn't know that

@subzero92MK

Any fuel in either liquid or gas form can be used to power a turbine, you only need to change the air/fuel mixture percentages to make it work.
