I believe that is a 160-200 SHP engine. But the fuel consumption is through the roof.

I would definitely not want that turbine so close to my head...

Something wrong with 14,000 RPMs spinning a few inches from the back of your skull?

i think you missed a zero.

turbines are quite reliable if you maintain them. meaning a rebuild every x amount of hours.

The most retarded post today.

Chrysler produced a beautiful turbine car (featured in the 1964 James Darren movie "The lively Set"). It worked ... but perhaps a bit too well. besides the extremely high power-to-weight ratio ... one of the main problems was the car exhaust (it had the tendency to melt the asphalt).
