THE Helicron was constructed in France in 1932 but was rediscovered in a barn in 2000, having been abandoned there by its original owner. Found in terrible condition, it’s now been restored with as many original parts plus a modern Citroen GS engine. The one-of-a-kind propeller-driven car is 14ft in length with a 4ft propeller. David, from Tennessee, told Ridiculous Rides that “some people find it frightening, other people find it fascinating. It’s a very special car to drive” and “you’ll never see another one on the road”. The car is hard to miss as it is as “loud as a small aeroplane” and “steers like a boat or a forklift”.

Машинка для армагедона)
Да, французы оригинальны в изобретениях. Спецефичные у них машинки получаются. Да весь их автопром спецефический.
I'd like to use that in downtown Nashville :DDD
I wonder how this would fare in a pedestrian safety rating? 🤔
🤣
Seems too dangerous without a front grill
Leyat Hélica was built in 1920.
Certainly sort out jay walkers.
I guess at least putting the prop in the rear or connecting the engine to a transmission and wheels seemed like a bad idea at the time.
Reverse takes a little time!
@Faruk Abubakar really?
It is not the only one in the world! Stop pretending that! There is another one in the Malaga Automobil Museum in Spain. The difference is that that one has the original engine and a four-blade propeller.
This car its very bad at steep hills cause itu was propeller powered only
