Jay Leno owns one of them. After he drove it for some time, the engine melted. Jay fortunatelly found the son of the original designer and with the work of the firm the son owned, Jays car was better than new. If you heard of this car, watch the video since you may never have seen one of them running. If you never heard of this car, well, this might be educational for you.

 
When I was a kid, I remember the grownups talking about one being in the Indy 500.

 
Saw it at the NY Worlds Fair in the 1960s.

Then, when I was a kid, my dad drove behind one for a few blocks in Rye, NY. They loaned them out to certain people to drive around.

Batteries to Power. Turbines to speed. Damn those old-fashioned pistons, Nice tail lights.

Still, unless the thing has a bat ray out front and parachutes out back, I'm not impressed. :uhh:
