Nice to see it! The Jet 1 had it's first test-run on March 4th, 1950, using the T5 turbine engine installed in a P4 chassis and a specially made roadster body. In 1952 the front was modified (lost the cyclop lamp) and the T8 turbine was installed. With this it reached a turbine car speed record of 244,55 kph on June 26th, 1952. The record run took place on a newly built motorway near Jabbeke in Belgium. |
