INTERESTING ENGINEERING PICTURE
 

what do you think they are testing? what is the setup they have going on top of the engine?

I put this in the wrong section. can a moderator move it to the gp section please. thanks

Experimental turbine engine looks like.

A/C performance?

I think this car was on display at a POCI convention in the past. May be in GM Collection. Not Sure.

I think I have a pic somewhere.

not the stretched front overhang, they lengthened that long hood even more! Must feel like your driving it from the back seat

Take a look at this link... https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2010/0...e-powered-car/

Just google SE-101 and look for the Steam powered GP.

It was an interesting car and yes, it was at a POCI event a couple of times. The hood was up about 1 foot on props and it was hard to see the entire engine.

What fuel?

coal? Coal-fired steam sounds so soul-train

You know... I don't think I ever asked... It might be in the articles written on this car. I love to find out who has it. I don't think GM has it in the heritage center in Michigan.

Hemmings article says it would run on any type of fuel: kerosene, diesel or gasoline

It would be interesting to see where the car is and who owns it...

neat!

I contacted Christo Datini at the GM Heritage Center and he confirmed it is in the Heritage Center collection.

Glad it's still around... Very unique car..!

The car is on a chassis dyno and I'm guessing they are testing emissions.

Or hooking up the espresso option...

Thanks Keith!!!
