Guys- Trust me....while it is fun to think about turbine engines in street cars, the reality is that it is a very BAD idea! Turbines are finicky things, and while they have one moving part, they burn up or blow apart disastrously on a moments notice if you aren't watching them 100% of the time.

And that picture right above, with the red US 928 with the turbine engine labelled "Boeing"? That is total hogwash! Boeing builds airframes. They have never built an engine! That motor is probably an Allison 250 out of a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter! It runs at 130 decibels, making it about 10 times louder than a V8 powered 928 with NO mufflers at all!

N!
