I doubt you can fit many groceries in the back of this Caravan anymore or at least any you don’t want shredded and toasted. Looking at this video one might think the propulsion is from the exhaust but this is a shaft driven turbine. So all the power is actually being driven to the wheels. With a beefier differential and bigger tires this kid hauler could get even better numbers. Currently it is running the 1/4 mile in 11.17. The turboshaft is a Rolls Royce Nimbus 105 with around 1000 horsepower at 2100 rpm. More pictures and video.
