The Chrysler Turbine Car is an experimental two-door hardtop coupe powered by a turbine engine and manufactured by Chrysler from 1963 to 1964. The bodywork was constructed by Italian design studio Carrozzeria Ghia and Chrysler completed the final assembly in Detroit. The gas turbine relates to the jet engine, patented by England's Frank White in 1930. Rolls-Royce speeded the development of jet fighter planes, which came too late to significantly affect World War II but which proved decisive in Korea.

On May 14, 1963, at the Essex House hotel in New York City, Chrysler unveiled a turbine car that wasn't a prototype. It was the first of a 50-car run of identical, shimmering-bronze. Hagerty Drivers Foundation To make the Chrysler Turbine behave like users expected cars to behave, throttle response and fuel supply also had to be radically altered. What engineers did not have to deal with, though, was vibration. A turbine engine's internal parts only rotate; they do not reciprocate. To showcase the DoE program, Chrysler dropped the gen-7 turbine into the car shown here, an extensively restyled 1977 LeBaron coupe. Based on the company's M-body platform, the LeBaron concept featured a 112.7-inch wheelbase, a curb weight of 3884 lbs, and coupled the gas turbine to a three-speed automatic Torqueflite transmission. Among them, Chrysler first came up with a turbine-engined car in 1954 by dropping a turboshaft unit into a standard Plymouth road car. Things got more sophisticated, until in 1961.
