1963… They Built a Car 60 Years Ahead of Its Time

In 1963, Chrysler built a car that looked like it came from the future. The Chrysler Turbine Car wasn't powered by a conventional piston engine. Instead, it used a gas turbine engine — a radically different idea that Chrysler believed could change the future of automobiles. It looked futuristic. It could run on multiple types of fuel. And for a brief moment, ordinary people were actually given the chance to drive one. But if the technology was so revolutionary… why didn't turbine-powered cars become the future? In this documentary, we take a cinematic look at the incredible story of the 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car — its futuristic design, turbine engine, real-world testing, advantages, problems, and the reasons this extraordinary experiment disappeared. A forgotten chapter of automotive history that still feels decades ahead of its time.
