By Turbo, it is not the Turbo you stick on the exhaust, to make forced induction. It is a Turbine engine. From Wikipedia STP-Paxton Turbocar The STP-Paxton Turbocar was a racing car, designed by Ken Wallis as the STP entry in the Indianapolis 500. File:800px-STP Turbine.jpg So why did Mattel use the term "Shelby"? Why not "STP" or "Granatelli". Interesting that this type of engine would go on and power many other things, M1 Abrams.

  • By Turbo, it is not the Turbo you stick on the exhaust, to make forced induction. It is a Turbine engine. From Wikipedia STP-Paxton Turbocar The STP-Paxton Turbocar was a racing car, designed by Ken Wallis as the STP entry in the Indianapolis 500. Wallis, a distant relative of famed British engineer Barnes Wallis, had developed a workable plan for harnessing a gas turbine to a race car. He first presented the idea to Dan Gurney, who passed on the idea. Wallis then offered the plan to Carroll Shelby and Shelby said (according to later court testimony), "Hogwash." Finally, Andy Granatelli of STP expressed interest in the concept. Wallis and his crew moved in with Andy's brother Joe at STP's Paxton division in Santa Monica, and they began work on the turbocar in January 1966. It was Granatelli who introduced a side-by-side concept—that is, putting the engine at the driver's left. Granatelli also added four-wheel drive to the design.
