V8 Or Turbo Cars? Do You Think V8's Are The Ultimate Power House?

What's this internal combustion mumbo jumbo?

Gas turbine is where it's at!

The 1963 Turbine's engine generated 130 brake horsepower (97 kW) and an instant 425 pound-feet (576 N·m) of torque at stall speed, making it good for 0-60 mph in 12 seconds at an ambient temperature of 85 °F (29 °C)

The engine would run on virtually anything and the president of Mexico tested this theory by running one of the first cars — successfully — on tequila.
