Rover’s 1950 prototype gas turbine motor car, JET 1, on display at the Science Museum in South Kensington, London.
The car itself is a standard Rover 75 saloon, converted to an open two-seat body and having Girling disc brakes on all four wheels. The engine is a two-shaft Rover T.8 gas turbine which develops 200 hp at 40,000 compressor r.p.m. Neither a conventional clutch nor gearbox are used. The drive is taken directly from the power turbine shaft to the differential rear axle.
