@@amcconnell6730 THANK YOU SIR!!! Everyone goes on about the Germans inventing the jet engine,obviously theyre not as clued up as they claim to be!!Sir Frank Whittle ws the first to design build and run the Original Jet Turbine,Shouldve been Knighted for his work,
Perhaps worth checking up a little on the history of the jet engine... Whilst turbines go back as far as 1790, the first jet engine is usually attributed to Frank Whittle in the UK, although the Germans were slightly faster at getting a working et engine into the air. Whittle's patent was granted in 1932, the German developer Von Ohain later admitted that his work and patent (1935) on jet engines was helped by Whittle's patent... If you look at aviation, jet aircraft have a higher maintenance cost than piston aircraft...
@peterchandler8505 - @3:03 They give us a brief blurb about turbine powered cars, mentioning the Chrysler turbine car, but nothing at all about the car on screen. I don't think this weird green car even exists. It doesn't show up on a google image search except for this video.
Per horsepower developed, turbine engines have lower maintenance due to the lack of mechanical contact. That's why commercial aircraft are jets. However their fuel consumption is much worse than well designed piston engines and drops badly below about 400BHP due to clearances. This is why there's a changeover between piston and turbine for aircraft at around 400BHP, and why warships have Diesels for cruising and turbines for war speed.
All pretty cool cars. So glad you mentioned the 56 Buick Centurian. Had the pleasure of seeing it at the Sloan museum in Flint Michigan. Another cool one was the 1985 Wildcat, awesome looking for it's time.
I can't believe the creativity behind these cars! The designs are so unique and some are just outright bizarre. My favorite has to be the car that looks like a spaceship!
I have a Jones for weird cars this video succeeds in satisfying that obsession! I especially love the Art Deco inspired Designs and those from the 50s!Thanks for posting
Hard work watching and listening to this, annoying script, artificial voice (I like to see the narrator), loads of factual errors and mispronunciations.
Jet engines were created by Germany? News to me. And to anyone who knows about Frank Whittle. But thanks - I now know I don't need to watch any more of this badly researched nonsense and I get 23 minutes of my life back!
4:00 I beg your pardon? The jet engine was invented by British engineer, inventor and Royal Air Force (RAF) air officer Frank Whittle.

Thanks for your comment. I was thinking that, but I could not have said it better than you.
@@stephensowell9578 Thank you Stephen, it must have taken 10 seconds to find the relevant wikipedia page! Maybe should have credited the page?

Thank you, I'm glad someone pointed that fact out.

Noticdd you left out the UK when you mentioned cars with turbines,what about the Rover Jet1 1950s???
As many as 3,925 Isettas were sold in the US. all with 4 wheels !😄😄😄😄😄
Poorly and superficially researched. More a fascination/obsession with the words "weird and "strange" than info.
Rover made a Turbine car
yeah back in the late fifties ah think it was based on a Rover 90 , it got up ti 155 mph , scary for a car that maxed at about 80/90 mph , aye !
@@thomasw.glasgow7449 A turbine car (Rover?) was driven by Graham Hill at Le Mans in the early 60's
Chrysler also, but not the one show in the picture.
You missed the main selling point of the Reliant Robin - you needed only a motorcycle license to drive it on UK roads.

That Chrysler Atlantic! Wow! They so should have made that!
Some people think my 2002 Chevy HHR is a Automotive Freak Of Nature
Turbine engines were a British invention, Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain in Germany.
At 16:28 ...that is an awesome car!!!!!!!
I saw the Holden hurricane at GMH Fishermans Bend when I was an apprentice there
Fascinating!
05:35 - Ford had a model available (Skyliner) from 1957 through 1959 which featured a fully automatic retractable hardtop.
you forgot the "Firevird 4" now THAT was a batmobile!
3.04 as a 10- year old, Jeff Koons designed a car.
A lot of these vehicles were not strange, odd. They were beautiful
Pitty that the designers of Italian exotics are not mentioned!!!
(11:46) Dude shows Enzo Ferrari when he talks about Feruccio Lamborghini. Hilarious!
That's the American way of knowing history :)
Unique cars bring new style
I thought the Ferrari Rainbow was a tricked out Fierro. And Enzo Ferrari is rolling over in his grave for being identified as Ferrucio Lamborghini
4:30 thats not a real car, Chrysler have a turbofan car name Turbine
They were very weird. I like 'em.
Now we know were adrian newey got his muse from the FFZERO1 you can see some of the features that were borought for his car
Cool cars
It is not very consistent to have production car, prototypes and concept car on the same list. They should be separated.
LAHNCHEEE-AH STRRATOS. Please speak Italiano!!!

It's SO COOL that You, chatter to You-self, so adamantly. Like, I Never Heard This B$ ,B4? Nope. Not a fan.
The Atlantic is my choice.
You failed to identify the second car which looks like Lady Penelope’s weekend ride
Do you have a time stamp to the car you're talking about?
3:07
Get your facts straight, re jet propulsion. You have destroyed a pretty good video with incorrect bullshit. Do your homework.
Bread.
hell yeah
Your facts really suck
First to comment!! Yay! I feel accomplished with today.
