Ever seen a Gas Turbine powered car??
Показать описание
During Concorso d'Eleganze Villa d'Este 2021 at Cernobbio I have filmed this 1968 Howmet TX Gas Turbine Racecar.
Built in the United States and designed to run in the Group 6 Prototype-Sports category, it was designed by Ray Heppenstall and Bob McKee, built by McKee Engineering. The engine is a two-stage Continental TS325-1 turbine (2960 cc equivalent) that develops a higher power of 330hp and an impressive torque of 949Nm but the crazy thing is the rotational speed that can reach 57.000 rpm! A reduction gearing provides power to the rear wheels so there's no a gearbox, the car is moved by a single-speed. The chassis is a tubular frame and the car weighs only 685 Kg. At a competitive level, a model of Howmet TX won the Heart of Dixie race in Huntsville, Alabama and was the first victory ever achieved by a car driven by a turbine engine in an official competition.
Make sure you like and comment the video, but also subscribe to the channel!
